Suggestions for toddler wearing.

I’m looking for recommendations for a toddler wearing carrier. My daughter is coming up to 15 months but weighted just under 18lb at 13 months, she’s a titch. I’ve got a tie carrier but I find it awkward to get on and off and would like a recommendation of one with clasps. Bit nothing that costs a huge amount. I won’t be using it that often nor for very long. I’ve got a little life backpack carrier for long walks etc.

I’ve seen a few on line but don’t know what to make of them. I haven’t yet been able to get to a local sling meet but am aware this would be a good place to try

I was literally going to post this earlier. My LG is 19 months and likes walking but not always but doesn’t like push chair so I have to carry her. We have a baby carrier but it’s so faffy she and I get really stressed with it. We are going to Disney in December and really want something for there as well. I’ve no idea where to start looking xx

I ended up getting a beko on the recommendation of a friend of mine. It arrived a week ago and I’ve used it a few times. So far it’s been good. I went on eBay and got one second hand. It’s clearly used, faded/marked, but it’s been good so far. There isn’t anything wrong with the material or harness.

Definitely sling library if you can. And look online to pick up second hand once you have chosen!

I have an izmi sling for my 17 lb baby, they do also do a toddler version. I like it because it folds up really small but is pretty simple with just three buckles and some Velcro. It does a front, back and side carry. I got it half rrp on eBay.

I’ve looked at one of those online. Definitely a contender then. The problem is our sling meet clashes with my breastfeeding volunteer group. I’ll just have to make sure I get there
