These two models appear to be the same despite the bag. Looking for opinions on shoulder bag vs. the backpack. I'm going to return to work and will be using it a lot while there.

Answer
I just think it depends on which style you prefer. Would you carry the backpack on your back? Or just want to sling the bag over your shoulder? I have also been looking at the pumps for when I have this baby in August. I think I will be going with the shoulder bag, just because that is the style I prefer.

Sling vs. Carrier, the sling just isn't working out, help?

I have a sling and a carrier (kinda like a back pack that goes in front). I tried to put my baby in the sling because I left the carrier in the car. I had it all the way tightened but she just drooped all the way down to my knees almost. It was very uncomfortable and heavy on my back. Is it because my baby is too big for a sling now, or maybe because I'm just so short (5'even)? Does anyone else use a carrier vs. a sling? All I see people on here talk about are slings.

Answer
I hated my sling, and my front carrier, and so did my daughter. The moment she could sit with support I started using a proper child-carrying backpack (it was a Macpac, designed for carrying toddlers up mountains). Best thing I ever bought. I almost never even used a pushchair.

If that photo in your avatar is the baby you are talking about, she'd be fine in that style of backpack. She needs full head and neck control, but not to be able to sit alone.

I'm 5'2, btw.
