Would it be better to when riding a bike to carry my baby in a backpack (ergo) or attached to a seat?

I was thinking about this, at least if he is in the backpack and I jump off the bike, he doesn't go down with the bike. How safe are those baby carriers attached to the bike? I know he should be wearing a helmet too.


Answer
Neither. Both of those things just seem to be begging for disaster. How about using a Burley (one of the pull behinds) & placing his infant seat in there? Thats what I would do.

What is the best baby carrier to get?

I'm thinking of the Bjorn or the Ergo. I've used the Bjorn before and liked it. It seems like the Ergo can be used longer since it can switch to the back. Is this true? Which one did you prefer? Also, my back gets sore fairly easily so I'm looking for one that won't make my back ache. Thank you!


Answer
I did a lot of research for my family and a lot of reading on sites by mothers using them and came down to Moby Wrap or Ergo. My husband was afraid the Moby Wrap would unwrap on him (he's bad at knots...) so he wanted something with actual snaps and such (Ergo) and was willing to shell out the hundred or so dollars difference for that, so we got the Ergo. Before then we used an Infantismo with my daughter and my husband hated it, it hurt his back and was very uncomfortable.

The Ergo, we've used it with my 23lb toddler on his back and he found it very comfortable, and she liked it as well. We were going up and down hills too, so it's not like it was an easy walk we were doing! His back did not hurt afterwards, and he didn't feel like his center of gravity was compromised with her on his back (unlike a frame backpack he tried with her.) The other day we put our week old son in the Ergo using the newborn infant insert and he fell asleep, absolutely loving it, and my husband felt like he wasn't wearing anything it was so comfortable and held so close. A true measure of the comfort? Our son pooped. He doesn't poop unless he's completely comfortable. :)

So we went with the Ergo and love it. But I read a lot of good reports on the Moby as well and would have been willing to try that.
