Shriek! I just received a happy mail this afternoon from CEO
Emporium! If you’re an advocate of babywearing, most likely you’d be familiar with
Tula Baby Carriers. I’ve always wanted to have this carrier since then and I couldn’t
believe that my baby and I can use it already. Geez, I can’t explain the
happiness I feel right now. Such a perfect gift for my
upcoming birthday and Mother’s day celebration J
My husband and I discussed
the benefits of buying another carrier for my baby; and after checking our budget
and careful deliberation, we decided to buy a new one. It’s actually my
first time to use a soft structured carrier (SSC), and I can easily compare the differences among my carriers. My daughter loves
babywearing as much as I do, so I believe this is worth the investment. J
I have 2 different carriers before I got our Tula. One is
the Suppori Sling which I bought from Cudsly, and the next 9 ring sling that I bought
when my baby was only 2 weeks old. I’ve had a love and hate relationship with
my ring sling because I’ve always had difficulties setting it up. So when I found
out that Suppori doesn’t need to be tied and threaded, I was compelled to buy
it. Unfortunately, my daughter doesn’t like it as much as she appreciates being
in the ring sling. So the sling was left unused and the ring sling got abused. Haha!
Ring sling has been my go to most especially that my daughter has been at her
crankiest these days. She started teething and it’s only the ring sling and me
who can pacify her.
But now that my daughter is starting to become heavier, my
right shoulder and back start to get hurt while strolling at the mall. Right there and then, I knew that I needed wanted a new carrier and own another type
which is the SSC.
Like other moms, I was never familiar of Tula until I read
it from Babywearing Philippines. I even told myself before that I have no plans of buying it most
especially with its price tag. Yes, it may be expensive but I’m telling you, it
really is worth the investment. Most mom's would recommend tula if you're looking for an SSC type of carrier. This isn't a status carrier but they highly recommend it because of its benefits and quality. Also, have you checked their designs yet? They have one of the best and unique prints.
I got myself the little Rascals.
Here's an action shot. I will try to share more pictures as we road test it. ♥

I got mine from CEO Emporium for 7,000 plus 150 pesos shipping fee. BaoBao babies also sell Tula Baby Carriers and these shops also provide installment/layaway plans.
Tula is an ergonomic baby carrier and here are its features:

- is easy to use and comfortable
- provides an ergonomic M-position seat supporting optimal development for baby’s body
- is easy to care for and machine washable
- is made by hand from 100% Öko-Tex Standard 100 certified cotton
- is made with the highest quality Duraflex buckles available
- includes features such as dual-adjustment straps to allow for the perfect fit, additional leg-opening and shoulder padding, and a large pocket on the contouring hip belt
- includes a removable hood to support baby’s head while asleep, protect from sun
- or wind, and allow for comfortable breastfeeding
If you have an extra budget, you can never go wrong with Tula. Talk about benefits and the comfort it can give you and your baby. Or, if you want to try other SSC carriers, you can also check these brands:
Ergo (just be careful, because I've read that there are a lot of counterfeit Ergo's in the market)
Moby Go
Again, if you plan to wear you baby, don't forget to check these guidelines. ♥
