The Babywearing Thread

[ides]

Neither of my kids have been happy in a carrier while I'm too still. It's great for grocery stores, but unless I'm vacuuming, I haven't really found it that useful to wear them around the house.

Same here. If I wasn't on the move he wanted out.

Good to know.

I'm DROOLING over the new Petunia Pickle Bottom Ergos. Someday!

One of the moms at the ballet studio has one. It is gorgeous!

Gardening in the Ergo. It's the only thing that kept him happy this morning.

So cute! Love the bean!

He needs a matching hat!

BlooKangaroo makes a toddler and even a pre-k sized carrier. My fish Kanga is the XT for extra tall toddler. It's very similar to the Olives and Applesauce one. Both are highly rated. I went with the Kanga because O&A wasn't offering customs when I needed the Fish carrier.

Man I think I might miss baby wearing as much or more than nursing!

Just thought I'd mention this here since I noticed it; looks like a bunch of mei tai stuff is on sale at amazon through the 24th: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_ba...node=165796011

Well I broke down and got a Sport Ergo. It was $60 at Marshall's and too much of a deal to turn down ($110 retail!). I've avoided them because they are so freaking bulky, but apparently the sport is not as bulky as the original and it's big enough for DH to use. I was planning on getting a Becco Butterfly.

I love my Ergo! It does get pretty toasty, but I think A was just a little furnace You'll want the infant insert - I had much better luck with it than the other work-around a people try and use.

Well the sport is supposed to be more breathable than the original. So you do have to get the infant insert huh?

[TulipsAndSunscreen]

We got it and never used it. We just stuck receiving blankets in there and it was fine.

My Ergo never fit me correctly (my torso is too short so I could never cinch it enough...ironically it fit DH better at almost 6'8'' than me at 5'0''). I LOVE my mei tai.

I tried a towel/blanket and it just didn't work. I think the insert is what made it warm/not so breathable, but I didn't feel as secure without it, and she wasn't as comfy.

Why are they so damn ugly?

The petunia pickle bottom ones are drool worthy. Vgirl has a neat lightweight one. In general we live the ergo though.

This is what I have. ST's baby does fine with front or back carry and it folds into itself to make a pouch and fits in my purse.

The carriers or the insert? We got a navy/gray one so that DH could wear her, too (he doesn't like to draw attention to himself). I'm sure we'll both wear her at Disney, though!
