Does anyone know what soft structured baby carrier I found online and lost?

that_one_g

A couple of months ago I was searching for a soft structured baby carrier. I came across a brand I hadn't heard of before that was a backpack style. I could SWEAR it was called a Joey but every search for a Joey only brings me to a sling. The site compared their carrier, which is only sold through them directly, to frame-like carriers. They also give one carrier to a needy mom for every carrier bought. It went to 75lbs...I'm trying to think if there's anything else about it. The site had a picture of one of the makers as a baby in a framed carrier with her...dad, I think. I thought it had the tagline "the best backpack baby carrier..." but all my searching is for naught. It sold for around $75. I lost my bookmarks and now I don't know where it is. Can anyone help??

*to clarify* It's soft, like an Ergo, but cheaper ($75), sold ONLY on their website (to keep the cost down they said). I'm not looking for a type but a specific carrier. I like that they donate one for every one bought.
Ok, guess I didn't need to copy the first part, sorry for the repeat.

Also, it went to 75lbs.
Ah ha! The babywearer forum found it for me!

What baby sling/carrier did you use?

Alright, I'm going cross eyed here trying to research all the different baby slings and carriers. So I'm asking you mums and dads :)
Did you use a baby sling or carrier? Which brand/type did you use?
How well did it work?
How much did it cost?
Anything else you want to tell me about it or recommend or any advice you wanna give?


I'm due with my 2nd baby in a couple weeks here and have a 2 year old. I never used a sling before, but definitely think it sounds like a super idea now.
Thanks, "Two Pretty". Someone gave me a Snugli, and I don't even have the baby yet, and it took me and another person to figure out just how to put it on! It looks flimsy and uncomfortable - like the baby could fall out of it. So I'm glad that my gut feeling was right on this one.

Answer
If you are looking for a quality carrier- first I recommend you stay far far away from anything mass made and sold in stores ( bjorn, snugli, infantino and there may be other brands)

There are many different kinds of carriers so research is important. Most common kinds of carriers are pouch, wraps, ring-slings and soft-structured (SSC).

A few popular POUCH slings are hotslings, and peanut shell ( I own one of each, and I personally liked my hotsling better- though they are very similar) One thing you must keep in mind is pouch slings are done by SIZE, usually height and weight or about t-shirt size. It is very important to get the proper size pouch for comfort and safety reasons. When you have the sling on ( without baby) it should be snug against your body. ( avg price for a pouch is about $40- $65)

WRAPS could include the most popular ( i love mine) Moby wrap, or any other mei tai. Wraps are typically long pieces of fabric that tie after being wrapped around the body, and hold the baby close to your chest.

The moby is about 6 yards of fabric that you strategically wrap around your body, The moby is really great for very young babies and typically till about 3 months or when they are holding their head up and wanting to look around more.
The mei tai is great for all ages and is a rectangular fabric attached to four long pieces of fabric you wrap and tie around your body. (avg price for a wrap is about $40- 65)

RING SLINGS ( most popular is a maya wrap) Is about 3-4 yards of fabric that is secured on one end with a ring. They are very similiar to a pouch sling, as they drape over only one shoulder.

These as many carriers/ slings can be crafted at home. Please be cautious sewing a homemade- or purchasing a homemade ring sling- as you must be certain they used sling rings instead of cheaper craft rings (which could be potentially dangerous for your baby.)
(avg price for a ring sling is $40-$50)

A SOFT STRUCTURED CARRIED (SSC) is more in a backpack style , my personal favorites are the Becco, and Ergo.

What is really great about these is you can wear these for very long periods of time comfortably. SSC are by far my favorite. You can typically wear them front, side or back. You can usually wear throughout the toddler years as well. (avg price for SSC $125-180)

*****
Every carrier you should be able to nurse comfortably in it.

Every woman has their own preferance when it comes to carriers- I have tried each and every one and found that each stage in the infants life, I had a different preferance on how to carry our own little one.
