I own eight baby carriers and this is truly the only one I need. It is so incredibly supportive AND comfortable; my baby and I are both tall with long torsos and this fits both of us so well. Absolutely perfect for any and all outdoor activities, but we use it around the house and for travel too! My daughter is 16 months now, we have been using this one since she was about six months old, and plan Sara · onyababy.com

I received the Tula Linen Free-to-Grow Baby Carrier through the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I love baby wearing and have tried a variety of warps and structured carriers for three children. This carrier is truly unique because it fits newborns on up! It was extremely easy to adjust down to newborn size and fits my newborn perfectly as you can see in the picture. He is around 9 lbs and 21 inches BoyMum3 · babytula.com
