Help with didyklick

I just got a didyklick and really like it but my baby seems to be less enthused. She started crying and pushing away when I sit her in there. Takes a few minutes walking outside to calm her down. Doesn't have anything to do with the footsie Pyjamas, she does that with trousers and socks as well.

I tried tying the cloth over her bum to give her more stability but she hated that even more and wouldn't stop crying at all.

She's well used to being carried and never behaved like that. She's been happy in stretchy wraps and also full buckle carriers and whatever the marsupi classic is (mehdai with velcro?). Is it her age? She's 4 months now.

Also, no matter what carrier I use, my baby is never sitting straight. One leg is always slightly higher than the other. What am I doing wrong?

My baby is now 3 months and in the 10th percentile. She's long but thin. So far I used the manduca sling and the marsupi classic for her. But a stretchy wrap is starting to become uncomfortable and does not feel secure enough anymore and the marsupi looks like she'll outgrow it soon.

I really like the feeling of a wrap but would prefer something easier to put on. So I found the meh-dai carriers from hoppediz hop-tye and didymos didytai.

Is that kind of carrier in general good to wear until baby doesn't want to be worn anymore? Are those two carriers both suitable for my purposes? I honestly don't know where to start looking because I learned from this sub that the descriptions from the shops are not always safe.

I'm situated in Germany, so if you have other suggestions for carriers, please only ones sold in the EU ^^

Hello,

my baby (3 months) prefers to be worn and hates the pram. Now that the sun is getting warmer, I noticed she gets a lot of sun into her face unless I actively give her shade with my hands.

I'm aware that most inbuilt sun covers are an asphyxation risk (is that how it's spelled?). But I imagine a simple sun hat would not work because they smush their faces into our chest when they fall asleep and that sounds uncomfortable?

So basically, how can I babywear in summer without holding up my hands for shade all the time? Should I just wear a big rimmed hat? 😂 Or are the baby hats soft enough to work? If so, I'll have to wait until we grow into them. My baby is in the 10th percentile and I have yet to find a store selling sunhats in such a small size.
