I am looking into getting a new one, my son is almost 1. I have gone through three different slings/carriers, he outgrew some of them, the others were hard on my back. Had a front carrier sling when he was an infant, then switched to the backpack styles (like Bjorn), but now I am looking at maybe a Moby, Peanut Shell, K'Tan, Kangaroo Carrier, etc...

I am kind of sick of wasting money on ones that don't work/hurt.

Advice, tips, especially for older babies? Which carrier do you prefer?



Answer
We had some issues with hating carriers after a short time (especially since our son, born tiny, has ended up being rather large.) It's only recently that I figured out that if you GO to Baby's R Us and ask a manager, they will send someone over to the carrier aisle to unpack and let you try any carrier they sell. It takes a while, obviously, but we brought our son and really took our time over it this last time.

We were looking for a backpack and ended up buying the Kelty TC 2.1 and could not be happier with it - I know you're not looking for a backpack style carrier, but if your baby is getting over 20-22 pounds, it's worth checking out. It is very adjustable, and acts basically exactly like a hiking pack, except with a space for a baby.

Baby wearing moms I have a question?

What kind of carrier do you use? I have a Baby Bjorn carrier for my son but he is almost 20lbs almost getting to be too big for it. So what kind of carrier is good for a heavier baby? I have a Kelty backpack carrier and I just can't get it to feel right. So I am looking for something that is easy for me to wear and comfortable for the both of us. Any recommendations?


Answer
A good friend of mine who is very thrifty recommended the Ergo to me, she said it was the one expensive baby item that she bought, and that it was worth every penny. So I ponied up the 115.00$ for one, and I'll tell anyone who'll listen it is the best carrier out there.

I also like my Moby but I have a hard time getting it on. and to stay put once I have it on.
