Which Lillebaby Carrier is Right for You?

Mom Life

If you have been following along with Little Prince Leopold, I’m sure you saw our recent post about our wonderful Lillebaby All Seasons Complete 6-in-1 carrier.

Lillebaby Complete All Seasons*Disclaimer: We were gifted these Lillebaby carriers to review. All opinions are my own, as always!*

We adore our Llama Mama carrier, it’s so comfy and you can use it any way you like! Recently, the darlings over at Lillebaby offered to send us a second carrier to compare and of course we said “Yes, yes, YES”!

This time around we got the CarryOn Airflow Toddler Carrier in Charcoal/Silver. I wanted to get something that is similar yet different and I thought the neutral colors would be perfect!

Lillebaby Toddler

My biggest predicament now is which one to take to our upcoming trip to Oregon?? We will be flying all the way across the US so we definitely need something reliable and comfortable!

I’m going to break down the differences so you can help me decide, and maybe decide for yourself which carrier better suits your needs.

First, let’s talk about the Llama Mama Complete All Seasons 6-in-1.

Lillebaby 6-in-1

Let’s go ahead and state the obvious…it’s pretty. That has nothing to do with how comfortable it is or the ease of use, but it needed to be said.

This particular carrier is special because you can use it (you guessed it) SIX different ways.

  • Fetal
  • Infant
  • Face Out
  • Toddler
  • Hip
  • Back

I really love that you can buy this for your newborn and essentially use it until your child doesn’t need (or want…*sob*) to be worn anymore.

The weight restrictions are 7lbs-45lbs.

I’ve never been too crazy about the thought of spending over $100 on a carrier that I would have to exchange in 6 months for the next size up. BUT that’s just me.

We live in hot, sticky, sweaty South Carolina so we aren’t huge baby wearers in the summer. On the odd occasion that we do feel the need, this is a great option. This will take us through the whole year, in fact! Zip the temperature control panel down for extra hot days, and back up again once the weather starts cooling down.

We are almost exclusively back wearers.

This is mainly because I can’t be bothered to get ‘good’ at whisking Leopold up into the carrier in many other positions. I also love the looks on some folks’ faces when I toss him over my shoulders!

*Side note, I learned my method at my local Babywearing chapter meeting:

I put my hands (crossed) under each of his armpits and then throw him over my back, carrier at the ready. I keep one hand on his back while I slip my other arm into the straps. I’ll have to do a video one day. In the mean time here is a video by Pretty in Pink Mama showing how she does it! I like to pull the base of the carrier up over his bum before I reach into the straps. It helps the carrier go all the way over his back instead of getting stuck or scrunched up.

When he is sick or if we are somewhere where I may worry about people touching him while he is on my back, I’ll wear him in the front. We tried the forward face out position and it was really cool, but since he has never done it I don’t think he liked it too much!

The belt needs to be un-threaded to switch to face out position (and then re-threaded when switching back). It is very simple to manage and go back and forth though!

The CarryOn Airflow Toddler Carrier in Charcoal/Silver

Lillebaby CarryOn Toddler

*I realized after the fact that he should probably be up a little higher on his daddy’s back.

The straps in the front needed to be pulled down a bit more. Make sure when you are wearing that everything is adjusted properly so that you and baby are as comfortable as possible! This is especially important when wearing infants. When they are in front they should be ‘close enough to kiss’. Be sure their head is upright and airways are clear!

This simple yet wonderful carrier is almost completely 3D mesh material. It even comes with a storage pocket that the Complete does not have.

This one feels a lot more simple to me than the Llama mama. I don’t know if it’s just based on the color scheme or the fact that it just doesn’t have as many carry options, but I love the simplicity of it. Since the added neck support isn’t there and there isn’t a panel to zip and unzip, I feel that this one had less ‘hardware’ (as in buckles, zips, and straps).

I feel strange having a toddler sized carrier but here we are! I love all of the support it offers. He seems so snuggly in there! The torso is extra wide and tall to support his big ole toddler body.

This carrier can be worn only three ways:

  • Front
  • Hip
  • Back

The CarryOn Toddler size ranges from 20-60lbs.

Both carriers have a hood for sun protection or privacy for naps or nursing.

Leopold has always been stubborn about the hood and will wake up 9 times out of 10 if I try to cover him, but it’s very nice to have the option!

What I love about Lillebaby in general is how comfortable they are! The straps are very padded as well as the support for baby’s legs. Each carrier has lumbar support which is great for your back (especially with toddlers)! I use it in front when I back carry because it’s especially handy for covering up my mom belly.

Lillebaby CarryON Airflow

So which carrier do I take to Oregon with me???

I am heavily leaning toward the CarryOn Airflow (I mean it says carry on in the name)! My reason for this is it will be cooler standing in long lines at the airport. It has less going on as far as straps and buckles. Lastly, I love that there is a bigger pocket so I can keep small toys and suckers in it, or my boarding pass!

    This inspires me to get something for my toddler to ride in while we hike. With summer in full swing being outside is a part of our daily and I would love to be able to hike with him.

      Yes! I know so many people who babywear while hiking! You could look into your local babywearing chapter too for suggestions! And see if there is a ‘hike it baby’ chapter near you as well!

      I totally agree! It’s best to do your research! Do you have a babywearing chapter near you? You could go to a meeting and try the different carriers on or even rent one and see which is most comfortable for you!

โฃ
Parenting is HARD regardless of your role (mom/dad), your career (full time/part time/stay home), or how well behaved your kids may be. โฃ
โฃ
โฃ
The other day someone commented on @thebluegrassmom's post about dressing up to go grocery shopping and told her to stop complaining and be glad she is fortunate enough to say home. After doing some sleuth work, I saw that the MAN who posted that comment was sad and struggling with things in his own life. It really got me thinking...โฃ
โฃ
โฃ
No matter who you are or what you do, what you FEEL is valid and it matters. If you need to vent about how exhausted you are...just do it. Don't feel like you can't just because someone out there is probably more tired than you. Don't be that person who scoffs at a college student who says they are tired just because you were up all night with the baby. Let them just be tired and talk about it. Honestly, I was sleepier in college than I am most of the time now! It's okay to complain sometimes, regardless of where you're at in life (just try not to complain constantly...no one likes that). โฃ
โฃ
โฃ
Remember to check in on your friends and loved ones. Check in on the ones you think need it, and even the strong ones who are happy and smiling all the time. Be available to listen and help out if they are struggling. We all need each other! Mental health is just as important as physical health. Take care of yourselves and get help if you are really struggling!! โฃ

Real talk, I found a bug (one of those nasty silverfish) in my COFFEE CUP cabinet the other day. I was absolutely disgusted and texted my husband that I was going to take a sledgehammer to these nasty cabinets ๐Ÿคฃ. โฃ
โฃ
Well I didn't go that far but I did decide that SOMETHING needs to change. They are old, chipped, stained and nasty cabinets so don't come at me about taking them apart ๐Ÿ˜…. The insides are covered in gooey black contact paper and under that,  the same devil wallpaper that's still up in our guest bathroom. I'm taking all the doors off, cleaning everything out, "Marie Kondo-ing" all the STUFF, and I'm going to paint it all WHITE. โฃ
โฃ
My thought is, the paint will help seal all the tiny cracks, will make it easier to see when it's dirty, and won't give the bugs anywhere to hide. I'm not doing anything to the bottom cabinets yet but I think I'm going to eventually paint them a darker color... but leave the doors on ๐Ÿ˜‚. โฃ

Leopold has really enjoyed his new Remote Control Gearbot by @lakeshorelearning. Together we followed the step by step instructions in the included booklet to make a working remote controlled robot! It's helped Leopold understand how gears interlock to make each other move, and he loves making his robot roll around the room after he's done modifying it. His favorite part is the interchangeable heads, but there are unlimited possibilities with this bot! โฃ

โ€œHave you seen her thighs??โ€โฃ
โฃ
Ugly words spoken about me, right in front of my face, by a rude elderly German woman whose family I worked for many years ago. Iโ€™d only been living with them a few weeks but I knew enough German to understand what she said. I ignored the statement as her helper shushed her and ushered her into the car. I probably wasnโ€™t even showing much thigh. Itโ€™s always been the part of me I hated the most. โฃ
โฃ
Those words shouldnโ€™t have gotten to me but it is burned in my brain, even years later. โฃ
โฃ
I grew up ashamed of my legs. I spent every hot South Carolina summer wearing full length jeans or frumpy cargo shorts that made me look like a dude. โฃ
โฃ
Now? Well, I canโ€™t say I love my legs now...I donโ€™t. Even at my most fit a few years ago they were still my least favorite part. Iโ€™ve always had thick thighs and I probably always will. I hate running and even training for and participating in half marathons didnโ€™t thin my thighs out. It may have helped the cellulite and shaped the muscle but it didnโ€™t make them small. โฃ
โฃ
Now I have gotten to the point where MOST of the time, I just donโ€™t care what my thighs look like. Shorts in the summer are HEAVEN. I already have too much to stress over and what people think of my big ole thighs is NOT one of those things. I donโ€™t have time to be miserable and hot in jeans or long pants in 100 degree weather. If you donโ€™t like the way my thighs look, I kindly invite you to look away. #byeโฃ
โฃ
I DO have a big ole butt that Iโ€™m proud of! Maybe without my thighs, I wouldnโ€™t have my butt...which is one of my favorite features. Tell me what you love about your body!! โฃ
โฃ
*Also, itโ€™s hard, but donโ€™t let someone elseโ€™s nasty words affect how you view your body or how you love yourself. Their opinion is simply part of their journey, it has nothing to do with you!โฃ

Instagram post 2167242929897389238_2713341474 Happy Halloween!!! โ€ข

With a tornado warning and lots of rain, our night didn't go how I'd hoped. I love trick or treating about as much as my kid, and I didn't get any "insta worthy" photos tonight. I was pretty bummed...not gonna lie! It was our first family costume this year and we looked pretty great! So my mother in law snapped some photos in her kitchen, I drank half a bottle of champagne from my @winc order, and we found a Halloween event at a nearby fire station to go to. I even got recognized as Misty a couple times! We ended the night with some San Jose and the kids passed out right when we got home! โ€ข

Despite the disappointment we ended up having a great night! How was the weather where you are tonight? Did it affect your plans? โ€ข

I had to take my van to the mechanic today because Finley's window wouldn't roll up and the power door didn't work. Turns out it was only a wiring issue and I didn't have to pay for new part! They fixed the issue (for free) in less than 10 minutes! Talk about a huge relief! โฃIf you're looking for a reliable used car dealership in Columbia let me know! โฃ

Instagram post 2162768588342188062_2713341474 AD // Two things Leopold loves are dinos and cars, so when we bought this #AdventureForceDinoGarage from Walmart he was over the moon excited! We put it together right away and it wasn't too bad as far as racetrack assembly goes (trust me). There is a ton to do with this dino garage! The 5 included diecast cars can go down three different tracks, go up and down the lift, or even get hit with a wrecking ball! There are a million different ways to play with this HUGE track (over 3 feet tall!) It kept Leopold (and Finley) busy all afternoon. I even got to take a shower uninterrupted! Thanks @Adventureforcebrand for creating awesome toys at reasonable prices! Learn more at https://soapbox.buzz/dinogaragetoy. This would make a great "big gift" on Christmas morning!! The look on Leopold's face when it was assembled was priceless!
Instagram post 2161305865481800927_2713341474 We had a great time at @clintonsease farm last weekend! It was hotter than I liked and we didn't get to stay as long as I wanted but as always it's one of my favorite fall traditions! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿƒโฃ

Is there somewhere near you that you like to visit every fall? What are your favorite fall traditions?๐ŸŽƒโฃ

There is SO MUCH to do at Sease Farms, you really need to plan for 3 hours or more when you go! The kids loved playing on all the kid friendly equipment and running through the tire maze. I'm not quite ready to take on the corn maze yet but it looks epic! ๐ŸŒฝ๐ŸŒฝ๐ŸŒฝ โฃ
