Finally understand this carrier! Thank you for this video! I’ve watched so many and none made sense like yours. None have touched on the narrow/wide seat conversion and how to. Your attention to detail is spot on!
I have had my carrier over 5 years. I have my 2nd newborn now and glad I found this video to finally figure out this intimidating but amazing carrier! Definitely going to utilize it more and make life easier for me and baby.
I never ever, ever comment on videos but thank you! My little has been uncomfortable in the Lillebaby because we need to make the seat narrow and now I finally know how to do it. Thanks so much! Plus I learned a lot of extra things about the carrier!
Ditto so many of these comments! Perfectly concise and so helpful! And the sound effects are also killer. Wish I'd watched this video before all the others on this carrier! Thanks!!
Oh my goodness! Thank you! This still applies to even their latest model and this was so helpful! The only thing mine didn't have is that newborn strap on the inside
OMG this was so helpful! I got my Lillebaby all seasons and could not figure it out for the life of me. I'm a visual learner and this helped me tremendously! thank you!
Omg this video is extremely helpful thank you. My son got gifted with this carrier and his almost 4months old now and I still haven't use it because I cannot figure it out . Thank you I can finally use it
Aw, I'm so glad it was helpful!! Let me know if you notice any shoulder/back discomfort while you start wearing him - I might be able to help you adjust to get a comfier fit if needed!
I was seconds away from returning mine because I couldnt figure out how the heck to have my son on my chest facing outwards because his legs were spread too much. thank you so much!!!!!
Oh my god! Thank you so much for posting this video I was so frustrated because I didn’t know how to use my carrier and I haven’t used it. Baby is 2 months already!
Thank goodness i found this video! I was about to give mine away!! I was so confused as why the legs would have to be so separated for smaller babies. Thank you super helpful😊
Omg i DID NOT KNOW you could make it to a narrow seat 🤦🏽♀️ i was just about to buy a new one as the seat was just way to wide for her, def. will give the narrow seat a try. Wow love this vide THANK YOU!
Hi thank you so much for the helpful video! I had a question about after narrowing the seat and tucking away the flaps inside, does the baby kinda sit on the stacked flaps buttons up or does it get tucked away to the baby's back? Thank you
Thank you so much for this! I’ve been wanting to face my baby outward but didn’t know how and their website offers no info! I also picked up a couple more tips about the carrier I didn’t know!!
Thank you for making the video! I got a used carrier from a friend and I downloaded the manual and could not figure out how to use it!! 🤯 Was ready to buy a different one! But I do have two questions! I'm a first time mom. My son is 3 weeks old. Do I narrow the base for him and have his legs hang out or have him squish them on the inside? And you went over the infant support strap on the inside really fast and couldnt see it very well, how does that go?
Hi Melissa! Congrats on the new little one! With a newborn, my preference is definitely to narrow the seat and have their legs out. He should be facing you, and you’re looking for a nice c-shaped curve in his back - not slouchy, but not pulled so tight that it forces his back straight. Aim for his legs, knees, and bum to make an M shape, with his knees up a bit above his bum. You’ll need the waistband of the carrier pretty high on your waist to get that good seat - he should be high enough on your chest that you can kiss him easily without straining your neck. As far as the infant support strap is concerned, honestly, I wouldn’t worry about using it. It’s an optional piece that met an old standard in Europe - newer versions of the carrier don’t have it. I’ve got a few other videos that go into detail about good fit and adjustment - check them out if anything here is confusing! It’s always a little tricky to communicate this stuff in text. Best of luck, and feel free to comment back if you have more questions!
This has been very helpful! Do you have recommendations on how to carry a 2.5 month old? I worry about his hips, especially since the doctor heard a tiny bit of clicking in his hip last time. She never heard it any other time and doesn't believe it's anything, but I just want to be sure I'm carrying him correctly. Do you recommend using receiving blankets and legs inwards? Or narrowing the bottom to allow his legs out?
Hi Daniella! The hood isn't necessary, no - it has no structural bearing on the carrier, and honestly, I just take them off and use a baby hat instead. That said, lots of folks love the hood! Because I take them off, I didn't even have the hood for this carrier with me when I made the video - that's why I subbed in the purple one from another LILLEbaby. ;) Hope that helps!
Super disappointed that you didn’t go into that newborn strap at the end more. It was hard to see too with the criss-cross straps still all over the place. The rest of the video was very helpful tho.
Why is the bottom piece dig into my hips it just seems so uncomfortable?! I just feel like I have to be doing something wrong because no one else seems to mention this!
Is there a way to keep the hood rolled up when you have the all seasons part zipped down? My babe gets really hot so I always have it zipped down and the hood is just flopping around haha.
So what the heck do you do with the hood if you want to keep it on? I use mine occasionally so I don’t want to completely remove it, but I hate how it just hangs down!
It was the buckle carrier that worked best for me, my body, and my baby! I think buckle carriers are a bit like jeans - they fit different people differently. It's for sure a safe, reliable, and well-made carrier.
Thank you for including the straps crossing and saying a 9 yr old fits in it pretty snug as I am very petite and short. I have not seen that so far through researching so I'm very glad you mentioned it.
I’m concerned about his legs. He’s big enough to have it wider. I can’t pull his legs out this far but he seems cramped with them beneath him. If it’s thin, I pull them out to the side but that seems uncomfortable.
Different carriers work, or don't work, for different folks! For me, once I got the setting where I wanted them on the LILLEbaby, it was by far the most comfortable buckle carrier of all the brands I tried and owned, and super simple to use every day. So for me, the initial learning curve was VERY worth it in the long run - for you, another carrier or style of carrier may wind up being your fave! Local babywearing libraries or Buy/Sell/Trade groups might make it easier to try different styles or swap your LILLE for something else if that winds up being your preference!
Hey Jason! This tutorial is really just to highlight the features of the All Seasons - check out my other videos for tips and how-tos with a baby (or doll... or bear... or coffee) in the carrier!
Lol, I am admittedly the worst at responding to TH-cam comments. Kudos on your resourceful parenting! I imagine you're also excellent at catching tennis balls now.
Then don’t! That’s the great thing about options - there’s one that’s right for everyone. :) For me, the 15 minutes I spent learning to use LILLE gave me years of comfort and convenience. We all get to choose our own parenting adventure - wishing you the best on yours, and hope you find products that are the right fit for you!
i would never place a cellphone in that cargo pocket, please read up on how babies and children absorb even more radiation from these devices than a full grown adults... please!
Finally someone that explained in detail about this carrier. Thank you so much!

BEST video ever for this carrier. Thank you for being so concise with the features. You made my carrier finally make sense!!!
I have had my carrier over 5 years. I have my 2nd newborn now and glad I found this video to finally figure out this intimidating but amazing carrier! Definitely going to utilize it more and make life easier for me and baby.
A two year old & an almost one year old, and now it’s when I finally learn how to carry facing forward with this carrier. Thank you!
I almost donated it today till I found this video and this is the first time I used it.
This is the MOST helpful and specific video on this product! You saved me a lot of frustration - thank you ❤❤❤❤
So happy I found this! Was going crazy thinking why a carrier couldn’t hold my baby facing forward! 😅
I never ever, ever comment on videos but thank you! My little has been uncomfortable in the Lillebaby because we need to make the seat narrow and now I finally know how to do it. Thanks so much! Plus I learned a lot of extra things about the carrier!
I’m so glad it was helpful!!! Wishing you and your little one all the happy, comfy adventures. 💕
A genuine thanks from me!!! I wanted to return mine so badly because I couldn't figure it out. But now I'm excited to use it!
Ditto so many of these comments!
Perfectly concise and so helpful! And the sound effects are also killer.
Wish I'd watched this video before all the others on this carrier!
Thanks!!
Just snagged this second hand at my OUAC for $12. It didnt have a manual do this was a great video! I cannot wait to start using it!
THANK YOU! I bought one used for $60 (steal!) but had absolutely no idea what anything did or how to wear it. This helped so much!! 🥰😍
I was given one ad a hand me down and had NO IDEA what any of the flaps and straps do. This video was amazing
Oh my goodness! Thank you! This still applies to even their latest model and this was so helpful! The only thing mine didn't have is that newborn strap on the inside
That was very "flight attendant -esque"! 👍🏾
OMG this was so helpful! I got my Lillebaby all seasons and could not figure it out for the life of me. I'm a visual learner and this helped me tremendously! thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your video on this carrier, because before this video I was clueless how to use my carrier.
You're so welcome! I'm glad it helped. Let me know if you run into any questions or fit issues!
Omg this video is extremely helpful thank you. My son got gifted with this carrier and his almost 4months old now and I still haven't use it because I cannot figure it out . Thank you I can finally use it

I just found this part out now and she’s 8 months now lol 😂
I need a longer explanation of how to face them out
Thank you so much for this. You are making an impact in the world 🌎
So helpful! Thank you so much! The instruction manual didn't come with my carrier. It was missing, so this was a life saver!
Oh my god! Thank you so much for posting this video I was so frustrated because I didn’t know how to use my carrier and I haven’t used it. Baby is 2 months already!
Thank you! Mine just came in the mail and I was so overwhelmed!
I'm so glad it was helpful!!
thank you for this! i found the manual it came with so hard to understand as a visual learner, and it didn't explain things very well.
This Video was sooo helpful! Best one explaining all the features! I’m so excited to finally use it now
This was extremely helpful!!! I was about to throw the manual that came with this carrier out of the window. This video saved me :)
I'm so glad! Hope you love your carrier!!
Thank goodness i found this video! I was about to give mine away!! I was so confused as why the legs would have to be so separated for smaller babies. Thank you super helpful😊
Same here.. I thought it wont fit the 4 months old...
Same here 😅
Love thias video, but it didn't explain how to get to the newborn stage first. How do I buckle the carrier to get the wide leg?
Omg. I just got mine in the mail and wondered what in the heck I ordered! Thank you for this amazing detailed walkthrough!!!!
Omg i DID NOT KNOW you could make it to a narrow seat 🤦🏽♀️ i was just about to buy a new one as the seat was just way to wide for her, def. will give the narrow seat a try. Wow love this vide THANK YOU!
I'm so glad it was helpful! Yes, definitely give the narrow seat a try, and let me know if you run into any issues!
This was very informative! I was able to follow along and make adjustments along with you. Thank you
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching.
Incredibly helpful!! Thank you for this video!
This video was so helpful, thank you!
You're welcome! So glad it helped!
Thank you for making this video! It helped me so much.
This is the best video ever! Thank you!

Hi thank you so much for the helpful video! I had a question about after narrowing the seat and tucking away the flaps inside, does the baby kinda sit on the stacked flaps buttons up or does it get tucked away to the baby's back? Thank you
Hi! The flaps will be folded and snapped together under baby’s bum - so yes, baby kinda sits on the stacked flaps!
@@KarynThurston oh awesome thank you for replying!
Thank you so much for this! I’ve been wanting to face my baby outward but didn’t know how and their website offers no info! I also picked up a couple more tips about the carrier I didn’t know!!

Narrow the bottom until baby gets bigger
Thank you so much!! Bette than the manual it came with 🥰
Is the hood necessary the purple one you showed earlier

Thanks Tiffany! So glad it was helpful!

I’ve had this carrier for 6 years and didn’t know some of this stuff!
It's a lot of features! Which is great for comfort and adjustability and, well, also just kind of a lot. ;)
Really big help! I love it thank you so much!
does this have a pocket on the belt portion as well?
+Natty Coco Nope! Just the small zippered pocket on the panel. :)
Thanks for answering my question
Thank you. You just helped me make a decision to get the airflow instead. We barely have winters here in the south Texas anyways.
The most helpful vid! Thank you
Thank you for this! So helpful
You're so welcome!
Why is the bottom piece dig into my hips it just seems so uncomfortable?! I just feel like I have to be doing something wrong because no one else seems to mention this!
Very great video! Thank you so much!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Is there a way to keep the hood rolled up when you have the all seasons part zipped down? My babe gets really hot so I always have it zipped down and the hood is just flopping around haha.
Jaime Gillan did you ever get an answer? I have the same problem and I hate it!
I use a black shoe string to keep it tied up. Just lace it though the buckle that attaches it to the carrier.
Do you have a video using it with a baby?
Loved it! Very helpful, thank you :D
This was exactly what I needed! Thank you so much!
Excellent video. Thanks.
Thank you so much!
So what the heck do you do with the hood if you want to keep it on? I use mine occasionally so I don’t want to completely remove it, but I hate how it just hangs down!
I put it inside the zipper area
It tucks inside that pocket below
Is this one good?
It was the buckle carrier that worked best for me, my body, and my baby! I think buckle carriers are a bit like jeans - they fit different people differently. It's for sure a safe, reliable, and well-made carrier.

Thank you it helped me
I'm so glad! Let me know if you have any trouble getting comfortable in your carrier - happy to help!
Great video!!!!
Thanks Diana!
Thank you!!! This was INCREDIBLY helpful!
Best tutorial ever!

Yes, it is!
No baby demo!?

I didn't know what to do so I ended up using heavy duty Velcro vest and same on baby. works wonders!
Lol, I am admittedly the worst at responding to TH-cam comments. Kudos on your resourceful parenting! I imagine you're also excellent at catching tennis balls now.
Karyn Thurston well played lol
Wow.the last thing I want to do as a new mom is figure out how to use this complicated carrier.

very helpful thank you :)
Thank you
Omg we used the hood as the seat lol
Hahaha, well, we all have to start somewhere! Hope this helped clarify things a bit! Happy babywearing. :)
I still don't know where my big ass baby fits in this thing
i would never place a cellphone in that cargo pocket, please read up on how babies and children absorb even more radiation from these devices than a full grown adults... please!
Same here.
I can’t believe more people aren’t as bothered by her saying that as I am…
Non-ionizing radiation
@@zackscofield5802what about it
