        Is it worth the $120?

          • The Boba looks a lot like an Ergo to me.

              The carry looked a little higher to me.... maybe I'll stick with the mei tai.

                The Boba Air carries like ST's Ergo.

                • MN - I just messaged you on FB for a picture of DD in a mei tai in a high back carry so you can see what it looks like.

                      And if you search for her on YouTube, she has lots of tutorials.

                      • I got on Bloo Kangaroo's carrier list!
                        I think I'm going to go with the XP or the XTP style. My two year old has outgrown the weight limit (!!!) on most shopping carts, and a leash would just mean a child laying in the floor, connected to me, while having a tantrum. Ain't nobody got time for that!

                          • Okay guys, help a girl out. With dd, I used my Ergo a ton and DH loved the Bjorn. This time around, ds (almost 7 months) loves to be forward facing and I cannot stand the ergo side carry (it hurts) so I've been using the Bjorn. My back is killing me, but I really need to be able to wear him because I am frequently multitasking with the 3-yr old (dd) and him. Any recs for a better SSC that will let ds front face out?

                            • Some people have luck using a scrunchy or other "tie" to cinch the between the legs/crotch part of an SSC or mei tai to make front facing easier.

                              What about a high back carry?

                              • I borrowed and really liked the Beco Gemini w/ DS2. It allows for forward facing and was much more comfortable than the Bjorn, IMHO.
