Half Buckle Tie On Carriers

We stock two half buckle carriers with tie on straps and buckle waists where you have the flexibility to alter the fit, tying straps in different ways, and benefit from the snugness of a fabric sling so you get a close fit regardless of your shape, moulding around your body with wide weight distribution. As your baby grows you can spread out the fabric across the bottom to offer you extra support when carrying, and you can widen the seat with the straps should your child start to grow beyond the full width of the panel. They are particularly loved for their easy transferability between users without much adjustment because it ties on to fit you well each time.

Made from woven wrap fabric, the Mamaruga Podma has a large panel that can suit up to preschool age, though it can be used from birth with the flexible width and by rolling the waistband. You have the option to remove the slim lightly padded waistband and convert it into a Podaegi carrier. A 'Pod' is like a Mei Dai but with no waistband. The fabric at the bottom of the panel - 'the blanket' - will get tucked under your child's bottom, with the shoulder straps pinning their knees and bottom in place. No waistband can be a lovely feeling to avoid having straps around your middle, if pregnant or otherwise. You can even turn it into an Onbuhimo style carrier by looping the straps through the waistband!

The awesome Tula Half Buckle might be for you if you would like a firmer more padded waistband which gives you all the hardware of the Free-To-Grow full buckle carrier (structured thickly padded waistband, adjustable in height and width, detachable hood, padded straps on your shoulders) but with the comfort and flexibility of tie on straps that open up to go wider and flat, before being tied on. It means you get to cross the straps on your back and do a hip carry, which is a first for a Tula!

​If you have questions about any of our range or would like to see them in action and see how they work you may be interested in booking an Online Consultation where one of our knowledgeable, experienced Infant Carrying Consultants can demonstrate and talk you through options to help you choose your ideal sling
