Am I a Dunce?
I was gifted this beautiful hybrid Lenny Lamb carrier over a year ago and it has sat pretty much unused since then, being passed over for other carriers whose fit I prefer.
What am I doing wrong? The carrier itself feels amazing but every time I wear it, it’s off within 15 minutes. As I stand here writing this post, I’m already driven crazy by how uncomfortable the band is on my stomach.
My dilemma is this: I don’t like how the sides are open so my baby seems exposed to the world, the band on my stomach has no padding (am I just missing something?), the weight distribution feels off (more in the shoulders/lower back), and overall in order to get a snug-ish fit, I have to crank the ties until it feels like I’m being squeezed.
Any tips? I’m sure part of this is incompetence or user error. Despite good intentions, I rarely use it. Should I try sewing it into a traditional soft structured carrier? Am I just a dunce? I appreciate any input!
