Absolutely LOVE your reviews. I just brought the artipoppe and after watching your videos seen that I’ve not had the fit right. Love your attention detail! Thankyou!
Thank you so much for your reviews - so helpful being new to the baby world! What carriers would you recommend for a similar look/fit but perhaps do a better job for a cheaper price? I've looked at the freerider but am unconvinced by the comfort level. Anything else out there that may be one to try? Also, do you have a number one favourite that's your go to every time!?
I’m so glad you find the videos helpful! The Tula Free-To-Grow has a similar look to the Artipoppe/FreeRider, but (actually) fits from newborn to 18-24m. Can be worn on your front & back, but doesn’t offer the facing away position- although most babies don’t need the facing away position. It’s about £200 cheaper than the Artipoppe. In terms of my personal favourites - I have many! 🤣 I find different slings/carriers suit different situations - a bit like shoes & bags. They also fit different body shapes differently which is why what’s best for one person won’t necessarily be best for another. I hope that helps.
The weight limits on slings/carriers are based on the fact that the manufacturers send the carrier to a lab, the lab load it on to a machine & pull. If it doesn't tear at 7lbs & doesn't tear at 35lbs it's said to be safe from 7-35lbs. It doesn't mean that it *actually* fits a 7lb baby & it doesn't mean it will be comfortable at 35lbs. Lots of manufacturers over estimate the lifespan of their sling/carrier. They want you to believe that their prooduct is the ONLY one you will need from birth to toddlerhood. Unfortunately, it's rarely true. The Artipoppe truly fits from around 2-3 months for most average sized babies. Hope that helps.
Thank you! Do you have a recommended height/weight. It's just so much more comfortable than any of my other carriers. My baby is 6 weeks and 22"/almost 10 lbs
Blimey - asking me to limit it to 5 might be a struggle! 🤣 I’ll give it some thought. Comparing slings/carriers for different ages/stages (newborn/toddler/facing away/back carrying) might be an idea though?
haha yes totally understand 😅 - your idea about different stages is great though! That would be a really good video to start with and one could then go to your different deep-dive videos for each carrier to help guide choice 😊
That depends on what fits you best, plus things like the age of your baby & how long you want a sling/carrier to last. Different things work well for different people & different things fit differently for everyone. Slings/Carriers are like jeans - everyone prefers a different fit.
This is my fav review of the carrier, so honest and non biased. And funny as well “they’re going to disappear.” 😂
Glad it was helpful. 😊

Glad I could help! 😃
Could you do an artipoppe front facing tutorial/review? 😊
Already done! 😁 How to use the Artipoppe Zeitgeist Carrier in the facing out position

The website says they fit newborns starting at 7lbs. You can fold the top part under apparently.

hi - could you compare your top 5 in a video? :)

What would be the other options that are better?
