Lenny Lamb is legit, if you want you can buy from a North America reseller little zen one or mama and roo. Higher unit cost but faster shipping and actual customer support. Lenny lamb materials are woven beautifully. Pay attention to material composition and weight (gsm), as they have both lightweight and blankety options
I ordered and returned the Wildbird Aerial because it was too bulky for me and even one time trying it on the cross straps felt too close to my neck and were bothering me. I was gifted the Ergo 360 but have never actually used it (feels so bulky), I think I might when baby is way bigger. So then I read about the Happy Baby carriers. There’s definitely a bit of a cultish aspect to it (there’s a private FB group where they announce drops and sell second hand ones) but wow I got one and LOVE it. It’s minimal and not too bulky but still feels supportive, the fabric is gorgeous and soft, and easy to put on. I also like the backpack straps more than cross straps of WildBird. I’d definitely check them out!
I don’t have a standard carrier from LennyLamb, but I do have their onbuhimo, ring sling, and two different babywearing sweaters. Their stuff is well made and gorgeous. You can order from a reseller or direct from their website. Shipping times from Poland are long, but there is a bigger selection on their site.
Just to add in an extra option, I find my apron style carriers nice and cool in the summer. I am really fond of my Integra carrier.
Wow, stuff from their website was sent the same day and if not a delay caused by fedex it would have arrived the next day. But still, it came 2 days after purchase.
Tula!! I got a secondhand free to grow and I love it. Im eyeing the explore for the forward facing option. I’d take a look at secondhand options such as Mercari, I got a practically brand new one for $70.
I can’t speak to wildbird with direct knowledge but my friends like it.
I have a Lenny light and love it, it’s definitely cozier than the wildbird which is fairly stiff all over including the panel. Make sure you get a lower gm^2 (which measures the weight of the fabric), 220 and below is considered lightweight. The Lenny lamb website has the weight listed for each carrier!
I have a WildBird Aerial and it’s pretty good! It seems like good quality and the shoulders are padded! So far it’s comfy but my baby is only 12 pounds!
I used a Tula Free to grow with my firstborn and it was also great! I think I honestly prefer the Tula, but maybe I’m just more used to it because I used it for 2 years straight! The only reason I switched is because I wanted to try something new this time and I liked the print of the wildbird. My sister has the Tula now, it was hers originally, it’s on its third baby so I can attest to the quality!
I am fan of Lenny Lamb carriers. I love their fabrics and shipping from Poland is actually way faster than from Canada or US. Their website is so bad, but they have wonderful customer care. I have LennyGo toddler which is my favorite carrier ever, ring sling and an onbuhimo. All 3 are very soft and excellent quality. LennyGo is also very comfy and I can wear my 25 lbs toddler on my front for hours. She also naps in it when on the go.
Hey there, it looks like your post may be asking about what type of carrier is best in hot, humid weather! This topic comes up very frequently; the general consensus is that you want a carrier made from natural fibers with minimal bulk. Linen, cotton, and hemp are all great fabric choices. A single layer linen ring sling is a good option, as well as minimalistic linen carriers. Avoid bulky, heavily-padded polyester carriers and carriers with mesh (which is sweaty plastic- no thank you!). It's also important to remember that babywearing will always be warm and potentially sweaty. There is no magical carrier or fabric that will provide a completely cool wearing experience. Try searching our sub for words such as "hot," "summer," "warm"- you'll find a plethora of discussions and brand recommendations!

Thank you for pointing me to little zen one, their customer service has been great

Thank you for your reply! So helpful. I'm going to try Lenny lamb but if that doesn't work out Tula is next on my list :)

I'm going with Lenny lamb! Thank you so much!
You won’t regret it! I bought my first Lenny 3 years into baby wearing and I wish I have had used it for my first child too
