Baby carriers??
Who has a baby carrier & what do you use it for?? I have a cheap one from Lidl and I HATE it. So I am thinking of getting a new one, one that will last. I'm looking at the Ergo carrier which looks sooo easy, can go back, hip or front carry and lasts up to 5 years old! It is expensive (??78 new!!!) but they have cheaper on Ebay and my grandma offered to buy Gabe a new pram but as I like mine, I might ask for this.
I was just wondering if I will get the use out of it though. I am thinking it will be easy to have Gabe in a sling, once he's in his 9+ months carseat and I will have to keep moving him from carseat to pushchair all the time (he cries when put down!). He is also showing signs of seperation anxiety....so could be helpful with that.
How often do you use yours?? xx

Then I got a freedom sling off of Tammi and it was fab - you get an instruction CD ROM telling you how to tie it ect. I havnt used it for a while coz of the weather - thats the only downfall to slings and carriers
But they were both great. xx

IlovemyGeek, what do you dress Lily in when you take her out in this weather? A snowsuit? xx
Tigerlily...only disadv i would personally say looking at the photos online. Can he look forward when the baby carrier is on your chest? My lo hated me using teh car seat on pushchair/tesco trolley as couldn't see what I could see facing forward. I dont hear a peep from her in the baby carrier. Either taking everything in or fallen asleep. I can also constantly talk to her. I also find it good for my posture.
I've just checked. Its max 26lb. I brought it when lo was about 9lb and shes about 16-17lb now. So I know mine is going to have plenty of use. xxx

So i got a Mei Tai and love it! I can't wait for Molly to get a bit bigger so she can go in it! Zach is about 9 months in pic. It crosses at the back so even outs the weight. It does seem complicated to put on at first but once you get the hang of it it is really easy.

Molly on the other hand loves the cradle sling so i got one custom made off etsy. She falls asleep in it almost straight away and i can get on with the house work and BE of course

So now i use it all the time so easy and fleecy and picked robbie up from school and put caitlin in that and she was asleep for the whole trip lol, i put fleecy blankets, obviously coat on her etc and she was the warmest out of all of us.
Plus added bonus i breastfed her in woolworths with it and noone saw so i think they are a great idea x
you can also bf in it and no one can tell, hehe. x
You are right, the one I'm looking at doesnt face out. However I can't really imagine having Gabe in that position, as I couldnt see him! In the carrier I've got now, he does like facing in and having a cuddle (is a cuddly baby lately!).
