Personally, I’ve found that the Ergo (pricey, but worth it to me!) is the best baby carrier for doing things, though not the snuggliest It holds the baby securely and with a bigger baby, he can be on your back and you are totally hands free! (your hands are free with a front carry too, but I always am distracted by little hands grabbing at me and a little face looking for attention ;D )

Perfect timing on this post! I am on the market for finding some babywear! Love the looks of the Hugamonkey and ModMum… Decisions…

yay for babywearing! i wore my 14-month-old all over the place today. someone thought i was pregnant, which was a real low point but a small price to pay for having a happy kid and two hands free.

Seriously…your post couldn’t have come at a better time! I have been wondering about these as I am expecting my second. I used the Baby Bjorn for my first but don’t think that will give me the best mobility to do things. I’ll be checking out what is available at the W.MI Mom Sale this weekend. Thanks for the suggestions!

I loved wearing my daughter. It came a point that she was too heavy though. It hurt my shoulders. I loved the Moby when she was little because it was so secure. When she was older I liked the peanut shell and wore her mostly on my hip. The Maya sling wrap killed my shoulder, the ring really dug into my skin. I wanted the Ergo one, but even resale was expensive! I just read an article, posted on my FB in fact, and they are warning mothers to be careful about slings. Small babies have suffocated in the sling while they were laying down against their mother. It is quite sad! .-= LaVonne´s last blog ..What a Deal Wednesday! =-.

I couldn't have done the whole second kid thing without my sling! (I bought a very simple sling at BRU, Boppy brand, I knew if it was too complicated, I wouldn't use it.) I used it at home, while shopping, in waiting rooms, while getting things done or just sitting in our rocker. Plus my daughter had colic and the sling was a huge part of our soothing ritual. Couldn't have lived without it. .-= Eos Mom´s last blog ..Blitz It Friday =-.

I am a lot crunchier than I ever thought I would be since I had Doodlebug. I have been wearing him since his first week home from the hospital. We started with the Moby and switched to the Mei Tai when he was about 7 months and 18 pounds (I will switch much sooner next time!) I’m pretty much a utilitarian baby wearer, he goes on my back when we go out to shop or try to get housework done or when he’s sick and cranky and needs to be held 24/7 but I do love it and don’t know how I’d survive without it.

The Moby and a basic mei tai are my favorite carriers. I use the Moby about 6 months, then baby gets too heavy and I switch to the mei tai. I sewed both myself. Love them! I almost always wear my son when I go out, even at 8 months. I don't wear him much around the house though, just never have. I like to keep my wraps in the car. .-= Kate´s last blog ..Thoughts on Children =-.
