FAQs

We are unable to offer detailed information regarding production of our Tula carriers, including estimates on when prints will return, as this is based on availability of materials, production constraints, and many other factors. We do try to offer many options on a regular basis to accommodate many different preferences. We recommend watching our Facebook page and for any announcements of new prints, and our website for any restocked prints!

Our Explore Carrier, Free-to-Grow Carrier, and Standard Carrier have been acknowledged by The International Hip Dysplasis Institute (IHDI) as "hip-healthy" products. 

The IHDI recognizes that Baby Tula has developed products that consider the important of healthy hip development during infancy. This is especially important during the early stages of hip development in the first few months after birth.

The Free-to-Grow baby carrier measurements are:

• Depending on the snap setting, the seat panel width is adjustable from 13 cm - 38 cm.
• Depending on the panel height adjusters, the height of the panel is adjustable from 28 cm - 43 cm tall.
• Hip Belt Measures 13 cm tall and 69 cm wide. Additional webbing extends approximately 76 cm (waistband total of ~ 145 cm long).
• Weight of the carrier: 0,8 kg

The weight limit for the Free-to-Grow Carrier is 3,2 - 20,4 kg.

The Free-to-Grow Carrier has a fully adjustable panel allowing you to use it starting when baby is just 3,2 kg without an infant insert. The Free-to-Grow Carrier features three width settings – narrow, middle and wide, and two height settings – short and tall, to accommodate babies of many sizes with a customized fit. Both Standard Tula Baby Carriers and Free-to-Grow Carriers can be used until 20 kg. If you’d like to use the Standard Tula Baby Carrier before the 7 kg minimum, you’ll need to use a Baby Tula Infant Insert (sold separately).

The narrow setting can be used for newborns and babies at a minimum weight of 3,2 kg, approximately 0-3 months. The middle setting can be used for babies 3-9 months of age, and the widest setting is suitable for taller babies 9 months and older. (Please refer to page 3 of the Free-To Grow Instructions “Correct Positioning" or see below). Please note that these recommendations are guidelines and may vary depending on the height and size of the individual baby.

*Correct positioning:

The width of the panel should be determined by the individual baby's comfort and leg span. The ergonomically correct position for baby is to be positioned with the base of the carrier supporting them from knee to knee, with their knees slightly higher than their bottom in an "M" shaped position. When choosing which seat width to use with your baby, choose the width that supports their legs in an "M" shaped position with their legs supported to the crease of the knee. If the edge of the panel rests on the baby's calves, rather than under the bend in their knees, then the width you have chosen is too wide. Always ensure proper placement of baby in the carrier including leg placement.

We do not recommend placing your child in forward facing position in the Free-to-Grow Carrier.

We do not recommend using the Free-to-Grow Carrier until baby is at least 3,2 kg.

Yes, all Tula Linen carriers come with a hood in the same colour as the carrier.

Tula Linen is available in two carrier styles, the Free-to-Grow baby carrier, and the Explore baby carrier. 

If you would like a carrier with the option to forward face, we'd recommend the Tula Explore that allows you to face in, face out, and back carry. The Free-to-Grow Carrier is not designed to offer the forward facing carrying position. 

An infant insert is not needed or compatible with either of the Tula Linen carriers. Both the Tula Free-to-Grow, and the Tula Explore are baby carriers designed to fit most newborns starting at 3,2 kg without the use of an insert.

Tula Linen is available in two carrier styles, the Free-To-Grow baby carrier and the Explore baby carrier.

There is not a plan to expand the Linen collection beyond our Explore and Free-to-Grow carrier at this time. However, we are always exploring new and exciting options, so please stay tuned for updates. 

You can find instructions for the Free-to Grow and Explore here.

Tula carriers traditionally have been offered in two fabric options: 100% cotton, fully printed twill or canvas; and our artisan-designed woven Signature collection made of various types of fibers.

The new Tula Linen collection is made with a blend of linen and cotton (52% linen/48% cotton). The material is made from threads in two colours that are woven into a herringbone pattern. The material has an overall impression of a solid colour. 

The Tula Linen collection will still feature the support features and comfortable padding that our baby carriers are known for. The biggest difference will be in the aesthetic and feel of the fabric.

Linen is a naturally breathable fabric made from the flax plant. It can also provide somewhat moisture wicking properties. The material is incredibly durable and supportive while still molding nicely around you and baby. Linen is hypoallergenic. 

Linen is an all-natural material that is low water and a nearly zero waste crop, making it as earth friendly as it is beautifully flattering. Linen is also biodegradable. 

While personal preference will be the main determining factor for this question, the natural properties of linen will add to the breathability of the Tula Linen collection. Our community also enjoys our Tula Coast carriers that you can view here. 

Read more about babywearing options for warm weather here. 

We know our community is eager for additional colour options and so are we! We love to provide a variety of options, and the Linen carrier collection will be no exception. We expect to introduce new colours to our Tula Linen baby carrier collection this summer. 

Currently, there is not a plan to expand our linen collection into printed designs. If you love our prints, you can count on many new options for our core and Signature collections in all sizes. 

Our Explore Baby Carrier enables you to carry your baby in the forward facing out (world facing) position while still providing the same adjustable width settings as the Tula Free-To-Grow Carrier.

The Tula Explore Carrier also features a padded support pillow that can be adjusted to provide head and neck support for newborns, or to add extra panel height for taller babies.

We cover the similarities and differences more in-depth on our blog.

The Tula Linen baby carrier is not considered part of our Signature collection nor is it created by artisan weavers. As a machine woven material, we are able to have specific colours readily available in the collection, and we will have limited edition colours to allow for variety and seasonal colours. 

They are made with a 52% linen and 48% cotton blend. Combining linen with cotton allows the material used for the Tula Linen collection to have a much softer hand feel right out of the box. 

Linen is a strong, lightweight, breathable fabric made from the flax plant. 

Both the Free-to-Grow baby carrier and the Explore baby carrier, which are part of the Linen collection, are designed to fit most newborns starting at 3,2 kg without the use of an infant insert.

Our Explore Carrier, Free-to-Grow Carrier, Standard Carrier, and Half Buckle Carrier have been acknowledged by The International Hip Dysplasia Institute (IHDI) as "hip-healthy" products.

A wonderful benefit of all Tula Carriers is the ability to nurse baby while they are being carried. To do this, you can loosen your arm straps and lower the waistband, without unbuckling any buckles, and position baby to your chest. You will want to reposition baby once they are done feeding or if they fall asleep. You can only breastfeed in an inward-facing front carry.

When creating the Tula Lite Baby Carrier, we focused on essential elements to keep it compact and at an accessible price point. The result is an ergonomic baby carrier, that is streamlined and supportive, and gives you all you need for on-the-go babywearing. In comparison to our other carrier styles, the Tula Lite Carrier has a more limited weight range and does not offer the front facing out carrying position.

The Tula Lite Baby Carrier is not designed to be used with the Tula Infant Insert or with any external item for the purpose of carrying a baby that does not fit in the carrier due to their current height and/or weight.

The Tula Lite Baby Carrier has a panel with a slightly curved top portion to provide delicate neck support for a small infant. For additional support, we recommend using the detachable hood with one side snapped to the shoulder strap and the other side down to allow for a clear airway.

The original Tula Baby Carrier was designed to last for long periods of carrying, and we’ve found that a snug hug fit allows for baby’s weight to be better supported when baby is facing inward. However, our community has long been asking us to create a baby carrier that offers the facing out position. We worked to responsibly design an ergonomic carrier that is easy to use and supports the facing out position. 

Click here to shop the full Explore Baby Carrier collection.

Yes, we have responsibly designed a deep seated facing out carry position that supports a baby’s natural curved spine and spread squat position. This innovative design allows baby to be placed in a more seated position rather than dangling.

We recommend waiting to back carry your child until they have strong and consistent head, neck, and torso control, and can push him or herself independently into, and remain in, a seated position on a consistent basis. The back carry position can be used in the middle or wide seat width setting and with the support pillow up or down relative to your child’s size.

When determining what height position to place the support pillow in, ensure that your baby is visible and their ear is clearing the top of the panel. The support pillow can provide additional support for a taller child or a sleeping child in the front carry facing in or in the back carry. The support pillow should not be used in the tall position when your child is facing out.

We do not recommend back carrying your child until your baby has strong and consistent head, neck, and torso control, and can push him or herself independently into, and remain in, a seated position on a consistent basis.

Once your sweet little one hits 3,2 kg, he or she can be worn in a ring sling or woven wrap. These lovely carriers are perfect for your wee babe – they are just fabric, rings, and cuddles. Or, if you prefer an ergonomic carrier, the use of an infant insert can make them an accessible option from birth (required for use with a baby between 3,2 – 7 kg). Read our blog post on safety and instructions of carrying your newborn.

Yes! Read our blog post where we share how to breastfeed in a carrier, ring sling or woven wrap.

Our baby carriers are designed to give baby an ergonomic seat that is comfortable for baby’s growth and development. The canvas material is also lightweight and breathable keeping baby warm enough.

We do not recommend back carrying your child until baby has strong and consistent head, neck, and torso control, and can push him or herself independently into, and remain in, a seated position on a consistent basis.

We have several blog posts from chiropractors, babywearing educators, and other healthcare professionals who all recommend babywearing and utilizing Tula Baby Carriers. For more information, read our blog. If you have a specific medical concern related to carrying your child in a Tula Baby Carrier, please consult your personal medical professional.

Baby Tula recommends that standard baby carriers be used from 7 – 20 kg. Infants and newborns weighing 3,2 – 7 kg must use the Baby Tula Infant Insert (sold separately).

Infants and newborns weighing between 3,2 – 7 kg must use the Baby Tula Infant Insert with the Standard Tula Baby Carrier. The Infant Insert is recommended until your baby can sit independently with knees dangling down freely in an ergonomic spread squat position and is a minimum of 7 kg.

Baby Tula recommends that toddler carriers be used between 11 – 27 kg and beginning when the child is a minimum 81 cm tall.

Infants and newborns weighing between 3,2 – 7 kg must use the Baby Tula Infant Insert with the Standard Tula Baby Carrier to enable a cozy carrying position, ensuring adequate head/neck support and healthy maturation of the spine in a front carry.

Please visit our Product Instructions page for a video on how to use our Tula Baby Carrier.

While the baby carrier is an indispensable item for ease of travel, especially in airports, FAA regulations ban the use of baby carriers during take-off and landing during flights. See our blog on how Babywearing Makes Traveling with Kids Easy!

Becoming comfortable with your carrier is important for you and baby. Here are some helpful tips:

• Practice using your carrier, at first, without your baby so that you can begin to become comfortable with it, yourself.
• Be sure that baby is comfortable and happy before you try using the carrier at first. A clean diaper, full belly, and already resting baby may help prevent any fussing.
• Often babies need a moment to settle into the carrier, so may fuss in the beginning. Once they are secured begin to move to help sway them. Bouncing a little or going for a walk may be just what they need to settle.
• If baby continues to fuss, take a break. Keeping your first few carries short might help baby become more comfortable each time.
  

Families who have tried our Tula carriers have noted the simple, easy-to-adjust design of our carrier. Tula carriers are easy to get to a comfortable fit with and hold baby snug and close to your body. Our curved padded shoulders and additional webbing help to personalize the fit of your carrier to your body. Many of our carriers are also made with exclusive designs and prints.

Our Explore Carrier, Free-to-Grow Carrier, and Standard Carrier have been acknowledged by The International Hip Dysplasis Institute (IHDI) as "hip-healthy" products. 

The IHDI recognizes that Baby Tula has developed products that consider the important of healthy hip development during infancy. This is especially important during the early stages of hip development in the first few months after birth.

The Preschool Carrier measurements are:

·       Preschool Carrier Panel Measures 20.1” tall x 19.8” wide (51.1 x 50.4 cm)

·       Preschool Padded Shoulder Straps measure 18” when not expanded and 20.4” when expanded. The webbing attached to the strap is an additional 29” long.

·       Hip Belt Measures 5.5" tall and 28" wide. Additional webbing extends approximately 30” (waistband total of ~ 61” long).

·       Weight of the carrier: 1.5 lb 

The Preschool Carrier is designed to accommodate children weighing between 35 – 70 pounds. Child should be wearing and fitting properly, for length, in size 4T pants (US), size 3-4 (UK) or size 104 (EU) in order to use this carrier.

We do not currently have an instructional video. You can visit our Product Instructions page for a downloadable version of the instruction manual for step by step visual instructions.

You can also visit the videofrom our friend Lysanne (babywearing consultant and owner of Sling Library MotherRucker for how to get your preschooler on your back and ready to be carried in the Tula Preschool Carrier. 

We recommend that a child be wearing and fitting into size 4T pants (US) / UK 3-4 / EU 104 cm before using the Preschool Carrier. 

You can back carry and front carry inward facing with the Tula Preschool Carrier.

No, the Preschool Carrier should not be used in a forward facing. This carrier supports front inward and back carry positions. 

If you would like a carrier with the option to forward face, we'd recommend our Explore Tula Baby Carrier that allows you to face in, face out and back carry.

With a taller child that has head, neck, and torso control, waistband placement is more subjective to the caregiver’s comfort and person preference. The carrier waistband should be at a height that allows your child to be snug and supported against on your body, with minimal pressure on your body and that avoids obstruction of your ability to see over your child’s head in a front carry. The waistband will be lower and closer to your hips as opposed to the height you might place it when carrying a small infant or newborn.   

The Hip Dysplasia Institute only issues certificates for products used with babies under 6 months which is why it is not possible to receive a certification for the Preschool Carrier.

The look and feel of the Preschool Carrier is very similar to our Toddler Carrier however the panel is larger and strategically reinforced for a larger child. These constructional changes, while not noticeable, provide additional strength and durability to support your child as they grow. The hood of the Preschool Carrier is also larger to accommodate a larger child.  

A child should fit into size US 4T pants / EU 104 / UK 3-4 for Preschool Carrier and can weigh up to 70 pounds, versus for the Toddler Carrier, the child should fit into US 2T pants and can weigh up to 60 pounds. 

The addition of seat extenders would only provide addition leg support for your child while in the Toddler Carrier. But, the Preschool Carrier would provide a taller panel (additional height), reinforced construction, and a wider weight range.

No, the Tula Infant Insert is only designed to be used to carry newborns and small infants in a Tula Standard Carrier.

We are always working to bring you new and exciting products and hope to bring you some more canvas options soon. To stay informed on any upcoming product releases, follow our Facebook page.  

Due to the reinforced structure and layering of the Preschool Carrier, we are not currently offering Coast Mesh options in this carrier collection.

The waistband and adjustable panel of the Tula Half Buckle Carrier function just like our Free-to-Grow Carrier, but it has distinct shoulder tie straps instead of buckle shoulder straps. These straps are crossable and allows for the additional hip carry position. The Tula Half Buckle carrier is inspired by Asian style carriers like the Meh Dai carrier style and gives you just another comfortable carrier option to explore and personalize your parenting journey.

Please visit our Product Care page for information on washing or cleaning your Half Buckle Carrier.

We do not recommend placing your child in forward facing position in the Half Buckle Carrier. 

If you would like a carrier with the option to forward face, we'd recommend our Explore Tula Baby Carrier that allows you to face in, face out and back carry. Click here to learn more!

The narrow setting can be used for newborns and babies at a minimum weight of 7lbs, approximately 0-3months. The middle setting can be used for babies 3-9 months of age, and the widest setting is suitable for taller babies 9 months and older. (Please refer to page 3 of the Free-To Grow Instructions “Correct Positioning" or see below). Please note that these recommendations are guidelines and may vary depending on the height and size of the individual baby.

*Correct positioning:

The width of the panel should be determined by the individual baby's comfort and leg span. The ergonomically correct position for baby is to be positioned with the base of the carrier supporting them from knee to knee, with their knees slightly higher than their bottom in an "M" shaped position. When choosing which seat width to use with your baby, choose the width that supports their legs in an "M" shaped position with their legs supported to the crease of the knee. If the edge of the panel rests on the baby's calves, rather than under the bend in their knees, then the width you have chosen is too wide. Always ensure proper placement of baby in the carrier including leg placement.
