baby backpack baby carriers reviews image
Anna
I don't really like the backpack look of the ergo, and the mei tai looks more appealing to me, which one is more comfortable? do you recommend one over the other?
thanks
Answer
Ooh - tricky one! Some mums like one or other, some like either.
I like the Ergo because the buckles make it quick to put on, no long straps to drag on wet winter ground while tying (though tucking straps MT straps into your belt works while putting it on), padded waist helps transfer weight onto the hips so likely to be able to carry for longer (eg. 3-4 years old).
Babyhawk - lots of colourful options, more curvy mums often find them more comfotable with no buckles to dig into large boobs, pack up smaller due to less rigis waist.
Resale value is great on both slings so if you feel you've gone with the wrong one you'll recoup your money OK.
Perhaps check out if you have any sling enthusiasts locally so you can try them both on, or maybe a local sling lending library to try before you buy. Check out the link - might ne of help - certainly reviews somewhere on the site.

Can anyone recomend a baby carrier, sling, or wrap? ?

I am about to have my second baby and I will have two kids under the age of two so I'm thinking I will need a baby sling or something. With my first son I used the snugli carrier, it was okay but I would prefer something else that is more comfortable. I've been looking at those baby slings that look like little shells that rest on the side of your hip, but I have gotten mixed reviews on that. Some women say it's great to have, some say they are terribly uncomfortable. I've also seen some type of wraps lately and have been wondering about those. Can anyone recomend any of these through experience? Thanks

I have a "hotsling", a "new native carrier", a "baby bjyorn" and the "infantino sling rider"... here's what i have to say about them
the hotsling... i like the best. my son is 5 months old and i use it to carry him on my hip. when he was smaller (he's 22 lbs now) i used the other carries, and was able to nurse him while chasing after (well not running, but able to move while nursing) a 2 and 3 year old.
the new native carrier... mine never fit right, when he was little, but i can still use it for the hip carry. i like the strechyness of the hotsling better.
baby bjoirn... i assume is similar to your snugli but it hurts my back too much except for when he was like 10 lbs. my son got too heavy to ever really wear facing forwards comfortably, but i could see it being great.
infantino sling rider... worked well for when he was under 18 lbs and sleeping, he never liked it awake
the type of carrier, i have looked into (and the only one i registered for at my shower) was a mei tai carrier... which i think i would have like best, and still might pick it up, if i don't find a good framed backpack reasonably.
