I love that this carrier isn’t too stiff. The material is soft and it’s such a beautiful color. The straps are really long and adjustable for any size. It’s easy to put on and my baby loves it. It’s thick enough to be a steady carrier, but not too thick that my baby gets overheated. There’s a lot of stretch for him to move and wiggle if needed. Overall I love the functionality of it and would orde mildlymama.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
