Tula Half Buckle
Tula Half Buckle
Sorry, we are currently out of stock in this product. Please do look at the Neko Tai Carrier which is a great alternative!
The Tula Half Buckle is a 'hybrid' carrier that offers the comfort and easy of a buckle waist and the customisable snug support of crossable tie straps. In additions to the front carry and back carry positions the Half Buckle also offers a hip carry position.
Age/ Weight Range
7-45lbs which is from around newborn up to around 2 years of age depending on the height of your child - no insert required. Note that most children will outgrow this carrier in height rather than by exceeding the weight limit, and, as all children are different, this may be when the child reaches 18 months or it might not be until they're over 2 years old!
Carrying Positions
3 carrying positions - front facing inwards, hip carry and back carrying. These positions are dependant on the developmental stage of your baby. They should be carried facing inwards on your front for the first 5 months. Once they are around 3 months AND have good head control they can be worn to your side in the hip carry position. Back carrying is from around 6 months when your baby is able to sit unaided. Each position provides a natural, ergonomic position best for comfortable carrying that promotes healthy hip and spine development for baby
Strap Type
The Tula Half Buckle has a thick, sturdy buckle waist band with one direction tightening. The two shoulder straps are tie on straps which are thickly padded but fan out to wider, unpadded long ties which are crossed on your back, crossed again under your babies bum then tied on your lower back.
Fabric
100% cotton, machine washable.
What we love about this carrier...
Tula make some brilliant carriers - the only problem is deciding which one! The Half Buckle is perfect if you prefer crossed straps and the adjustability and close fit of tying the straps yourself. The hip carry option is great but so often overlooked in favour of facing outwards - hip carry is the best of both, your baby can see the world around them but they still get to snuggle in to you for some reassurance. Plus, its thick cushioned straps and sturdy waistband mean carrying a much older baby is still comfy! Tula carriers are simple to use and have a nice, natural feel and design.
