What owners single out
In their words
“I am so happy that I purchased this carrier. I originally purchased the Graco 4 in 1 carrier but that really hurt my upper back and I felt like my little one wasn’t up high enough. Plus the straps constantly fell off. This carrier I can put my son in it and he will sleep the entire while shopping Or if he is awake, I can put him facing out and it doesn’t hurt my back. I am pleasantly surprised at ”
Brittany N. · verified purchase · babytula.com
“I really like the pattern and breathability of this fabric! We have a free to grow style Tula that tends to hold heat in so it was a feature I was looking for with the explore. . I like the padded leg openings, they seem more comfortable than my other carrier. . . So far, my baby seems to only tolerate this carrier. . I don’t know if he’s uncomfortable or we are just in a stage. .”
