Overview
This buckle carrier adjusts beautifully for newborns, with extra-strong snaps at the base of the panel to adjust the width for tiny legs, and the panel height and design generally does fit fourth trimester babies pretty well! It's a really popular option for those looking for a birth - toddler carrier with a forward facing option.
It comes with a detachable hood (to give support for a sleepy head, or a little shade in the sun).
Shoulder straps are 'ruck straps' without buckles on them - just adjusters - as is the case with all Tula carriers. The shoulder straps are padded for wearer comfort, and the waistband is a padded foam.
The adjusters to allow forward facing are simple buttons to move the padded leg support flaps inward. Please note, forward facing should only be used for short periods once baby has full head and neck control, and isn't a safe sleeping position.
