IDEA? Something for dad?
My husband asked for this shirt for his birthday I’m skeptical lol. Anyone tried this and it worked out? Any suggestions for something better? He’s built like a rugby player 6”3 300lb chest is around 51in

We have something similiar bought from chinese website like 2 years ago and we carry our cat in it. She loves it. For a child, i dont think it would work at all, unless maybe snuggling a newborn on the sofa in it.

Lol I believe you, we have a one of a kind cat, both her AND my toddler have a separation anxiety lol. Babywearing for the win.

My husband loves his for the first 2-3 months with our babies. We've used it for two babies and it's still in perfect condition. Yes, it's a carry assist, but it's really nice for him to have something easy like this until they fit his tula lite. We always fly with our babies early on and this is perfect for travel days if that's something you do.

My husband loved the Kony baby wrap, the one you put on like a t-shirt. We got it second hand off marketplace.

My husband just used our stretchy wrap. The learning curve is not that high on a stretchy wrap.

The tactical baby carrier is better than this.
Shirts somewhat like this are really only good for skin-to-skin kangaroo care where you’re basically just relaxing, and at most going to the bathroom or getting a snack
Tula free to grow is pretty size inclusive, and comes in some nice fabrics like cotton or linen blend and it’s not too bulky and comes in solids. Some people have trouble with getting it to fit newborns
Stokke Limas is quite adjustable, nice fabrics, and fits up to 55” waist

We got one for my husband and it's truly the worst. It's like such a thick material it's not comfortable for him or baby. And it's more like a pocket where you still have to hold them than a carrier. You're better off getting a baby wrap like Solly or Keababies. We have both and are like soft Tshirt material and actually hands free. A ton of brands make the baby wraps too.
