Tula Explore vs Lillebaby Complete

What are the differences between the Tula Explore and the Lillebaby Complete? I go over a few of the key differences here!
Something I forgot to mention and can show in a future comparison video is that the Lillebaby panel is a little bit wider on the widest setting compared to the Tula Explore. I do find that the Lillebaby complete can be a more supportive option for bigger toddlers (typically children don't fit wide seat until in a 12-18 month pant size for length.)
However, that's also part of the downside. You can't back wear until closer to a year or over (wide seat only for back wearing!)
Tula baby is going to allow for back wearing when baby is sitting independently!
What are some questions that you have about these carriers or some other options out there? I'll try to get to your questions as quickly as possible either in the comments or in a future video!

Thanks for this video! Also, can you share where you got your top? 😊

[@letstalkbabywearing]

It's a Prana top ❤

I’m looking at free to grow but also intrigued with huggs carrier by Abbie, have you tried this one by any chance??

[@essohess1313]

Can’t seem to find the serenity carrier in stock anywhere. What would be most similar? Also can you do a review please on the elevate carrier!

[@letstalkbabywearing]

Yes! I need to do that. And lillebaby stopped carrying the Serenity which is so unfortunate. It was one of my favorite options!

[@letstalkbabywearing]

It was sort of a uniquely supportive option... I think the Tula Explore is going to be the most similar compared to anything else on the market.

Thank you for sharing, this was helpful!

I'm so glad it was helpful!

Would you recommend one of these structured carriers over a Lennylamb structured carrier? Also, if you were to choose a lenny lamb wrap Tai or a half buckle which would you go with (breath ability and long term wear are factors)? Thank you!

[@letstalkbabywearing]

I find I reach for my Tula free to grow Coast the most right now, but that's with an 18-month-old (12-18m clothing size) and warmer weather. I truly love the Lenny Lamb half buckle. It is one of my favorite products from them! The men dai style can be a really good option, but I find the have special is a bit more supportive and I just really enjoy wearing it.

Not related to the carriers hahaha, but I super love your top! ❤

[@letstalkbabywearing]

Thank you! Funny enough, my daughter decided she wanted to pick up my clothes for the day and went with this top 😅❤

Where is it from? I love it too 🥹

[@mirandaoatman9450]

Do you have a preference between the Tula Explore and the Tula Free to Grow?

[@letstalkbabywearing]

There are a lot of things that I really love about both. For those who really want the option of forward facing, the explorer is the go-to. But, if you don't plan on doing that, the free to grow is a little less bulky, streamlined and very comfortable with older toddlers as well. I had my one nearly 40 lb 3-year-old in my free to grow wow traveling and was very comfortable. I find it's not quite as comfortable with the explore at that age. I will say though, the explorer seems a little bit more rigid compared to the free to grow in general. So it can be more supportive, but I feel like the panel doesn't get quite as wide as the free to grow, which makes it slightly less supportive in there much longer.

@@letstalkbabywearing okay thank you. I don’t think I plan to forward face, so that’s helpful.
