Hi,
I have a baby bjorn for my three month old yet I am looking for another option. The bjorn kills my back and I feel it is limited. Any moms use a carrier/sling that you preferred over the bjorn? I am reading up on the Ergo and that looks interesting. I am not sure I would like a wrap as I will get frustrated trying to tie it and always worry that i did not do it right. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I really liked our Beco carrier. They have beautiful fabric panels, too, so you might find something pretty you like to ‘wear’, since the carrier sometimes seems like clothing.:slight_smile:

I have had back trouble too, and found that this was great for me. And it’s massively adjustable, so my husband (he’s a foot taller than I am) could use it too. Alas, b/c he did, I didn’t get the pretty fabric. C’est la vie.

I LOVE my ergo, one of the best baby purchases I made. Never hurt my back and the kids were cozy in them.

I use a wrap that i made myself. 5 yards of woven fabric and tyed like a mobi wrap.

I like my beco butterfly (similar to an ergo). One thing I really love about it is that it has an extra pannel, so you can transfer baby while still in carrier from person to person. Also, you can unbuckle the waist belt with baby still in carrier (a great option if you need to use the restroom while wearing baby,

I’ve owned 6 baby wearing devices. Ergo is the one for me.

I vote for Ergo. Used with my firstborn and husband and son both loved it. I just had twins, so I got an Ergo sport… it’s supposed to be a more breathable weave. We’ll see.

moby wrap or hot slings,that is what I loved … the wrap is really easy to use and is more comfortable and secure than you would think. I loved the ease of putting my wrap/sling on before we got into the car and then taking my son out of the car seat and going, no stroller, no draging the car seat around and both hands free with out adjusting straps and clasps.

I love love love love my Baby K’Tan. Its a soft wrap carrier, but not in the same style as the Moby. Instead of being one long piece of fabric, its two loops of fabric. Those two loops of fabric mean no tying, so its easy to do when no one else is around.
