Wildride carrier

Does anyone have a Wildride toddler carrier or something similar? Would you recommend it?

My toddler is getting too heavy for me to comfortably carry but he still wants/needs to be carried sometimes. These look good but they’re quite pricey.

We have this exact one and it’s been handy to pick up our two year old when out and about. It does make carrying them a lot easier than holding with your arms and he’s quite happy to sit in it. The buckle seems strong, he’s about 13kg, and there a bit of elastic around the clip in case the buckle fails but not sure how it would fair if it did. Seems like a well made quality product IMO.
And it’s better than taking a pushchair or scooter etc. just in case they get bored of walking

One thing to notice is that this is not a hands free carrier, just a carrier assist, so you still need one hand on baby. If you are looking for something like that, it is fine.

If you want something hands free to do chores or other things, look at other options.

yeah I’m just looking for something to support his weight while I still carry him - I’m having to carry with both arms now so will free up one hand at least!

We have one of these, we took bought it for our Switzerland trip last year as I was not keen to bring the pram along.
Pros easy way to carry toddler around
Cons you constantly have to swap shoulders as it does start to hurt after a while & price point is quite high

There’s another brand I’ve seen that do these cheaper, called Senarah. They look decent quality but haven’t got one so can’t recommend for sure x

Ring slings are basically the same thing but half the price. Only thing is the weight rating on ring slings is a little lower. But that only matters if your kid is super big. I still use my ring sling on my 30 pound 17 month old.

I have a knock off one from Amazon, my 13 month old is 27 pounds so it’s very helpful

I saw this brand on an Instagram ad too

@Leah how are you finding the Wildride carrier? Considering getting one!

sorry, only just seen your comment. I wouldn’t say it’s supportive of your back, it’s just an assist from holding them on your hip. The weight balance is better because it’s the opposite shoulder and hip but I don’t think you’d want to use it for a long time. But that’s based on a 27 months old weight!

Definitely good quality though and agree with that I wouldn’t trust a knockoff to safely carry my child

Thanks @Leah, that's really helpful. Think I'll get one

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

I think its fair

Me and my partner agreed to sleep in 1 day of the weekend.
He doesn't find it fair to look after both kids (my 4 year old isnt his) while i sleep so he looks after the baby while i sleep and my toddlers at his dads and ill look after both the next day.
Straightaway it was pretty unfair as i let him sleep in until he wakes up 10-12
He wakes me up when baby starts fussing because he wants milk (doesnt need it)
I cant pump as i dont supply enough.
So i get woken at 9/9:30 to feed baby then i get him sleep then theres no point sleeping in as my toddlers being dropped off.
I also find it unfair that i get both kids to sleep most night, i get my toddler to sleep everyday hes home (4/5days) and i get my baby to sleep most nights with the exception of maybe twice a month as his dad struggless then about 95% of his thru the day naps.
I have also been unwell for a few months (tumor scare) and am waiting 18 weeks to see a specialist so im obviously petrified for that, so unbelievably tired and alot of aches and pains, specifically these pounding headaches ive been having.
After i had been up til 11:30 getting both kids to sleep lastnight and my partner falling asleep at 10 then him ignoring the baby cries all morning until my toddler woke up im fed up slammed to door and rold him not to expect to sleep in unless he gets the baby to sleep the night b4.
I keep having issues with him not feeling the wet from baby being sick or weeing himself or being able to smell it do about 98% of the time hes given to me i have to clean him up n change him.
Including at night, we agreed my partner would change nappies (1 a night at 5am) while i feed (2,4,5,6:30) but every night when i get him hes pissed through and my partner gets annoyed when i wake him up n moan about it.
Then the morning after hes annoyed at how much washing there is (thats his job) and moans about how often i change myself (baby constantly shits thru and sicks on me) and baby
Honestly im just so tired all the time

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol
