Hi! It's Kylie from Babywearing and You and today I'm going to talk to you
about the Tula Half Buckle. So the Half Buckle has a buckle waist and then it
has these long material shoulder straps which you tie off. With the Tula Half
Buckle you can wear your baby in front carry, hip carry and back carry (all
facing inward). It's the only Tula baby carrier you can wear on your hip and
it's also the only to Tula baby carrier that you can cross your straps. When you're
wearing on front carry you'll be crossing your stress over and the
advantage of this is that it really helps with weight distribution and it
could also help if you have any narrow or sloping shoulders as well.
You can use the half buckles from 3.2 kg all the way up to 20 kg so it's going
to last you your whole babywearing journey and with all Tula baby carriers,
length of these shoulder straps and the waist straps mean that it's going to fit
petite babywearers all the way to plus size babywearers so it is a really
great option. Now we're going to look at some of the features of the Half Buckle
so you still have Tula's large supportive waistband. You also have the
pocket at the front which you can put your keys, wallet, phone - whatever you need.
The Half Buckle does not require an infant insert because you're able to
adjust the width and the height of the backpack. To adjust to the width
you have three snap options here and then you're just going to measure your
baby and making sure it goes from knee crease to knee crease without over or under
extending their hips. I'm just setting it up for the (3 month) doll that I have today and
then coming up the back panel, to adjust the height you are going to pull
these straps forward/down both sides and then you can say that the material just kind
of tucks in there and that's where it's going to stay. You also have a hood which
you can remove really easily and then coming up your shoulder straps they are nice and
padded and then they are into two Tula's material. So all you're going to do is
tie these off. With all Tula baby carriers they come in all their designs
it's made from a cotton twill and it's nice and thin so it is a good option
regardless of the weather. I'll show you quickly how easy it is to wear
Starting, I'm going to put on my waist belt. Going through the safety strap
and tightening it. And it also has padding on the sides
of the back panel just for comfort for your baby. Picking up my baby and
place them into the fabric pulling up the back panel and putting your shoulder straps over
A really good tip when you're doing up the Half Buckle is you want to reach back and
pull down first and then across, same thing on the other side. The reason
that I do it that way is to make sure it doesn't go/sit too high on my neck which can
cause a bit of pain. And then we're going to spread the fabric half so this
is another great feature of the half buckle is when your baby no longer goes knee to knee
and they are wider than the seat, you can use the straps to make it even wider
again which will make it more comfortable for you both.
you're going to spread it out, going over the leg and then coming under the opposite leg
the same thing on the opposite side.
and then you're going to take it back and tie it and I double knot
And I will just re-spread the fabric if needed
And that's it! That is how easy it is to put on the Tula Half Buckle
