Help me make a decision on what tula to get, please!

[360blessings]

I want to get a Tula and having a hard time deciding on pattern. I love the foxy, and the cute matching accessories, but am also looking at prepster. DH is huge Notre Dame fan, and this could easily be customized with some ND/Irish accessories. And prepster seems less babyish. But Foxy is adorable. :/ What would you get and why? Help!

I think the Foxy is adorable, but I know that anything white + baby can = stains. I feel like that one would be harder to keep looking nice. They're both really cute though.

Honestly, I have no idea what you are talking about. What is a tula?

ETA: Ahh, now that I know you are talking about a baby carrier, is it weird I feel relieved?  I suggest you go with something more neutral if possible.  Although I am not familiar with any of the styles you are mentioning.

Personally, since you asked, I am soooo over chevron. That plus I think the foxes are way cute. I vote foxes!

[sordidvolition]

I really want the foxes but I'm probably going with a darker fabric.

So happy to see someone else joining the Tula community!! Obsessed with mine. I'm not really a fan of either of these however. I REALLY don't like chevron, so I'd go with foxes if these were your only two choices (but I still think you;ll get sick of it over time.)

We still have a while until June, and there will be lot of new patterns coming out between now and then. Personally, I'd wait to make sure I'm getting the one I love the most.

I agree with mamahawk12 in that I don't really *love* either of these and there's a lot of Tula-time between now and our EDDs. I'd wait.

And, in the meantime, I'd stalk the wrap conversion releases

Can I just in and ask if you guys think the Tula is better than the Ergo? I like the foxes too

I find the fit on each to be very similar. We went from the Ergo to the Toddler Tula around 18m.

The resale value on a Tula (at the moment) is way better than Ergo.

I was starting to wonder the same thing! I had been leaning toward the Ergo 360, but with all the Tula love, now I'm not so sure. Thanks for asking

Ooo! I voted foxy. // I was eyeing the Ergo in my searches for a carrier but now I'm going look into these.

Is the Tula good for newborns too? Thanks for the input!

I haven't used a Tula with a newborn But, maybe someone has on the baby wearing board?

[mamahawk12]

Tula over Ergo 10000x over! It's wider and has a deeper seat, and the shoulder straps have significantly more padding. They're much more comfortable... and Ergos are really ugly in my opinion... so bulky!! And even the regular, run of the mill, everyday prints hold their retail value nearly 100%. Try selling an Ergo second hand and you'd be lucky to get 50%.

I voted Foxy. I've been eyeing them as well. This baby already has ALL THE FOXES, so I'll probably go with something like the Lil Rascals (much raccoon love) or Urbanista if I buy directly from Tula. However, I've been waiting for this offer to be back in stock so I can get one for less.

[kemdupuis]

Definitely the prepster (although the Foxy is super cute, too). I feel like the colors on the prepster will be beneficial when LO is actually here- who knows what kind of stains you'll get on that thing. You can't go wrong either way, though!

[tahitiandreamin]

I really preferred a Beco Gemini for a newborn but as DD got older I thought that the Tula Toddler was great. As for pattern, I personally would get tired of the foxes after while whereas I think that the prepster would be a bit more versatile.
