she is not a little baby anymore (all 18lbs) and with my sciatica i have to be very careful to make sure that my back is not strained.
love the product..how you can change positions without removing baby and harness for various purposes...how daddy can wear it comfortably, too; how well it is made.
after reading many online reviews, asking other baby-wearers, and trying four other baby carriers, it is my opinion that the ergo is the best carrier for my baby and for me.
wearing a baby, or carrying a baby in a whatever device or strap or piece of inorganic or organic fabric is also suppose to be functional and comfortable.
i tried several carriers (including the baby bjorn) and my baby hate them all.
breathable fabric cons: a little on the pricey side the bottom line: a great product to use to carry your baby.
the only reason i gave it 4 stars is becuase it is a little difficult to manuever baby in and out.
the adjustments are easy to make and the product, once you get the hang of it, is easy to use with baby.
this product keeps both the baby and the wearer cool and comfortable.
i used to have one of the original baby bjorn carriers with the snaps, but the new design of this one makes it much easier!
my baby wants to be held nonstop and this product has been wonderful for us.
and used it when my baby was only a few days old.
i love that i can totally cover my baby to make it dark adn quiet so he can nap while i carry on with life.
i practiced in the house and around the neighborhood a couple of times to find out how to tie it and the best position for my baby.
i was a major skeptic when it came to baby wearing/wraps but after 7 weeks at home with a colicy baby with reflux and an active and very jealous 3 year old, i was getting desparate!
this takes a little bit of getting use to, but it is by far the least complicated thing that i have for my baby.
there are so many things i love about this sling - flexible fabric that cuddled my baby when he was only a few days old...and long lasting (he is now 18 months old and i use it to carry him on my hip)
he was a colic baby and the only way i could get him to sleep was by putting him in our peanut shell.
they have just the right amount of stretch to grow with baby.
i have a colicy 8 week old baby and i haven't got anything done around the house b/c of him needing to be held all the time.
it's comfortable without pulling on your back and allows you full control of your baby.
this product was recommended to me by several medical practitioners so i of course opted for it over the baby bjorn or popular sling.
i always put my baby in it to grocery shop, which takes at least an hour each time (we walk to the grocery store and back).
with the moby, weight is more evenly distributed (across shoulders and back) and it is the most comfortable way of carrying baby i've found.
my son was too small for baby carriers like the bjorn at birth so i tried the moby wrap and we love it.
mom has found it to have a more natural feeling/carrying position and less painful on the back than the baby bjorn.
i received a different carrier and both me and my baby hated it.
as for the product itself, yes it looks strong enough for a baby to be held up right without having him/her look as if she is ready to fall out like cheap brands.
we even took it on a 3-hour hike once and our baby was so comfortable and slept the whole time.
i have used it for shopping hands free, for hiking with the baby, and for getting things done around the house.
i recieved the bjorn as a gift and it is one of the most benifical product in my collection of baby essentials.
this is a great product i used it with both of my kids and have it stored for baby number three.
the 'active' part of this carrier is extra back support and a nice feature but i was unsure how much more support it gave over the standard baby bjorn.
we decided to purchase the active carrier because we planned to use it frequently and we were warned that we would have a big baby, therefore, we opted for the extra support of the active model.
i have a big baby, and this product made it comfortable to carry him, with the lumbar support.
this product works better if your baby is a little older, when he is too young his head bounced around alot and so you have to use one hand to support it.
i would definitely recommend purchasing this product to any mommy that does a lot of traveling, has a baby that likes to be held or just have free hands for other stuff, like taking care of another
yes, this is a positive review and i told you that i loved it so...then i figured out that because it is the perfect length and width of fabric you can make up your own positions and "tie" your baby
it's better than the bjorn style because baby is snuggled right up to you.
but i was still afraid to put baby in it.
we are new parents to twins, and i purchased this sling because of the ability to actually have two newborns in here it once.
great alternative to the knot-wrap baby carriers.
my baby and i love this new baby carrier.
this is a fabulous baby carrier.
very comfortable for me and baby.
i used it on a hike with my other kids and my baby was very happy and comfortable and so was i!
i recommend it to everyone with a baby or toddler.
i haven't tried this particular mei tai, but i'm so excited to see target getting carriers that are better for baby's spine and mom's back!
much sturdier, more durable and supportive than less structured or unpadded mei tais, and a third of the price of my babyhawk!
my daughter is 2 and a half months old and weighs 13 lbs i tired a sling and hated it i liked the baby bjorn but even the one with the lumbar supprt hurt my shoulders.
in all i would say this is a pretty great product considering it is inexpensive compared to other brands.i did find that when my baby was about a month old and i took her out with me on a shopping
i have no doubt that this product would be able to handle a baby up to 26 pounds, but i wouldn't want to put that sort of strain on my shoulders.
it was so nice to have my little boy near me and not worrying about carrying and balancing a heavy carseat (especially after my c-section!) or using the baby seats in the shopping carts.
my baby is 4 months now and loves to go along with me when i water the lawn, go to the store and even grandma loves it too.
i put this carrier on my baby registry and was given it as a gift at my shower.
he is a big baby though so i am not sure how long i will get to use it because i am sure he will soon be too heavey despite how big they say baby can be for it.
my baby is six months, and 22lbs, this sling is such a help with out it i wouldn't be able to carry him everywhere with me!
i prefer to carry my baby around with me and this makes it so much easier.
at first it may seem confusing, how to fold it, where to put the baby, etc, but you'll have it down with a little practice and then wonder how you ever thought it was hard.
i had to return the size 3 i purchased (it was too tight) for a size 4 (for a newborn).
my baby ktan is so easy to wear and feels like a t-shirt.
however, i think the baby ktan baby carrier is quickly becoming my favorite.
carried my 10 month old baby in this sling at the airport for almost 2 hours due to delays.
she also likes the baby bjorn, but the hotsling lets her rest without having to hold her head up all of the time.
a very convenient way to have the baby with me while i do some things around the house, eat a meal or check my email.
i have a 3 week old baby who loves this sling.
i bought this when my son was 11 months old because he was getting too heavy to carry but my stroller and hiking backpack were both too cumbersome for many places.
my daughter loved it when she was a baby.
our baby loves her sling- and settles down immediatly after we put her in it.
it makes such a difference to try it on with baby because if it's too low it will be extremely uncomfortable.
i have a baby wrap that i've been using since he was born, which is nice, but it's kind of a process.
i sing "goin bye byes" from baby clean fun (www.babycleanfun.com) to my 8 month old as i load her in the carrier to take a walk.
it is one of the few baby carriers that fit people of tiny stature.
although i do like it, i don't love it for summer because the material is a little thick; my baby gets too hot in it, and so do i.
didn't find out about these until baby was 7 months old- wow i wish i had found it before.
(bending over is a little hard to do unless you place one hand on the baby)and nursing is really not practical, other than that it is absolutely perfect!
