I have both! My hands reach for the tush baby more than the gooseket but I love the fact the gooseket is compact. (Can put it inside the diaper bag) Now, what’s stronger? Lol if your back is weak (back pain), you will like the side sling But if your shoulder is weaker , the tush baby. 🥲🤣😅 *checkout Ergobaby Alta hip seat baby carrier! It’s hip seat that converts to a carrier!
I agree with Rachel. I have both a Tush Baby and a Senarah sling carrier. The sling is nice because it is compact, does the job, and my son (15 months 27lbs) does not have to hold on. But it does weigh on your shoulder but I also might not have mine fit properly, I am still playing with it. The Tush Baby is nice, I like the storage, and for me my hips handle the weight better, but my son doesn't like to hold on and has tried to slide off to get away. Also it is not as compact. Honesty I carry both in my car. If I had to choose one I would probably get the sling. Other side note my sister got the Mom Cozy version of the Tush Baby and it seemed to be the same to me and came with the added attachment that holds the baby/toddler to you.
I used the wildbird ring sling and really liked it! Mostly because of how easy it was to get baby in and out. But also because it fit in my diaper bag. It also set the baby on my hip which was nice for getting close enough to countertops and sinks to get work done. I used it through 30lbs. When baby started wanting to walk everywhere instead of being carried everywhere.
I got the tush baby when my daughter was about 10 months because I injured my shoulder enough to need physical therapy. At first it was a godsend but when she reached about 17/18 lbs I stopped using it. My husband uses it with the snug attachment and absolutely loves it. He used it all over our first vacation together. But I think the most important factor is your size. I’m small & 5’1, so it put a lot of strain on my torso. Also if you have any pelvic floor issues, it puts a lot of pressure where you don’t want pressure. But for my taller friends, it works great!
Thanks everyone for sharing your knowledge!
I have a tush baby style and love it
I have been wondering the same. Seems like the tush baby would be nice with the added diaper/wipe storage.
