For a 5 months petite size baby, may not be able to fit in Tula without the infant insert yet. It's best to try it out and check if baby's legs are hyperextended - we want to avoid hyperextension. I've attached an example of hyperextension. Baby's legs should be able to swing freely at the knees, no bunching up of fabric behind baby's knees. Can try at Bumwear, Marina Square ($10 fitting fee, redeemable upon purchase of a carrier) and some Mothercare outlets (I saw the tester at the Harbourfront outlet awhile back). As for Kokadi Flip, you can try it on at Mums & Babes at United Square. There are many other options. Eg Lillebaby, Lenny Lamb (http://www.fluffmail.com.sg/collections/ergonomic-baby-carriers/lennylamb), Soul Slings (http://www.jarsoffluff.com/collections/buckle-carriers) etc. Do join https://www.facebook.com/groups/babywearingsg/ for more info on baby carriers :)

I prefer Manduca. Kokadi is too small for the kid to grow in (you have to change to a bigger size) Tula is nice but expensive! Manduca works really well

Tula would be ideal. Kokadi is suitable for now. Once your child gets older, he/she may not be able to fit in

Kokadi otherwise I'm using a Baba sling and i love it.

eventually i like kokadi more, but TULA seems to have more cartoon design options then just drawings

Kokadi is more comfortable in my opinion
