Is the Artipoppe baby carrier worth it?

[CharlotteB94]

I've just made a Bank holiday splurge order for the Artipoppe baby carrier in dark grey leopard. It looks gorgeous and I've seen so many good things about it online.

Wondering if anyone has it and if it's worth it? My baby is due in September so I figured I have some time to decide!

I also have a referral code for £50 off on the AP website if anyone is also thinking of getting one.

We actually just rented an Artipoppe from Baboodle and it was great. Perfect for a couple of months whilst we had a couple of posh events!

The honest answer is it depends...if you've got a spare £300 for only a few short months and have some events eg weddings you might like to have a posh carrier for and/or live in an area where your brand of carrier gives you extra trendy points amongst other similar parents (query whether people who give a shit about baby carrier brands are actually people you want to ve mates with but thats a different topic) then perhaps. If you're looking for a carrier with longevity and that's comfortable to wear then no...there are better on the market.

Ive got the artipoppe. I enjoyed it but didn't wear it enough to justify the price so wouldn't buy again.

@FTMazdefinitely DO NOT buy it for an older baby. It can only be worn on the back for an older baby unless you buy a separate insert and not all babies/parents like back carrying. I've only ever used it for my babies when they are small. Its also not very supportive so you definitely wouldn't want a heavy baby in it.

This wasn’t our experience at all, I regularly carried my baby on the front until they were over a year. Ours came with a forward facing insert but I mainly carried them inward facing.

I had the Artipoppe with my son. It was actually a gift from work. I loved it. I struggled to wear it at first because I had a c section. We have dogs, so I used it on dog walks daily. I have a really short torso, so once he was about 10 months he was too tall for the front on me as he’d block my view 😂, but I just moved him to my back. I could carry him using it until around 18 months, then I was too unfit after that to carry him without sweating and wheezing haha! I did love the luxury of it too, on some of the days where you feel grim and it’s all poonamis and greasy hair, it felt nice to just put it on.
