i love to use it when i go to places that aren't stroller-friendly, or when my baby needs to get out of her stroller and stretch her legs.
we bring it everywhere and our baby stays content in the baby bjorn for longer periods of time than in his stroller.
if your back is notoriously bad, try to be realistic and invest in a stroller....no product will work.
the baby bjorn is a very convenient product if i go somewhere that a stroller cannot go - like for a hike.
this is a great carrier - it is so much easier to use than trying to manuever a stroller in some tight spaces and my 5 month old loves being able to look at everything and everyone while we are out
the fact that it transforms from a backpack carrier to a stroller is absolutely awesome.
the kelty convertible baby backpack is so simple to convert from stroller to backpack.
the width and how compact the stroller is proved to be an asset on the cruise ship (with its very narrow halls).
the ability to carry our daughter and use as a stroller is invaluable when ferries and sand are involved.
my family loved this stroller/ backpack.
i've worn the moby when my baby is still in the stroller and have gotten comments on my stylish wrap (folks not realizing that it's a carrier).
this product is great when you don't want to bring a big stroller or travel system around and when you want to do house work and be hands free.
it is comfortable (can get a bit warm) and i love the fact that i can do things around the house, take walks with my son in it (he hates his stroller) and breastfeed in it too!
we take the dog for walks in it and i have used it in place of a stroller many times.
it's a lot better that a stroller because i can take him up stairs and everywhere i go.
a carrier is so much more convenient than a stroller and this is very comfortable so far -- we keep adjusting it as she grows.
it is supportive enough that i often use it when i go for a walk instead of the stroller and it doesn't bother my back and gives me a bit more of a workout since i am carrying my baby instead of
she is now 7,5 month old and is getting a bit heavy, but we are still using it for short hikes and walks in places where one cannot go with a stroller.
my son does not like the stroller or the car seat but he doesn't cry in the baby carrier.
our daughter loves the baby bjorn since she can see everything from a higher point of view than she can with her stroller, so i would recommend this for younger/lighter babies.
- take the 2 year old for a walk in the stroller while baby is in wrap
also, walks are a lot more fun with her close to me instead of in her stroller and it's a better workout for me!
this product is great for when you want to take a walk in the mall and you dont feel like bringing a stroller.my daughter loves being in it she is alert to everything while shes in it.
i use it around the house as i pick up and do basic housework, and then use it when i take my three children on a walk and place two kids in the stroller and one in the carrier.
or if we are at the mall i can throw it on and stick her in it and i wont have to get the stroller or carseat out.
we use it everywhere, it beats lugging the stroller around.
we used it more than our stroller.
it was better than a stroller for going through security because you didn't have to take the baby out to put a stroller through the x-ray machine.
wraps come in a variety of colors and are even available in silk for those dressier occasions when you don't want to have to carry your baby on your hip or push them around in a cumbersome stroller.
carrying our baby has been such a joy, and buying this carrier is a lot cheaper than buying those huge stroller/travel systems!
it takes me less time getting him on my back then it does to get the stroller out of the back of my car and opened up.
easy to get him in, rolls up into my bag/stroller when not in use.
i purchased this for my 2 year old (30 pounds) since she will no longer use the stroller, yet gets tired and refuses to walk.
this carrier was comfortable for me and my daughter and came in a nice carrying case that i could just throw into the car to have in case i decided to use it instead of a stroller or carrying her.
i'll probably use it most for running quick errands -- hate dragging the stroller out for small trips.
she wouldn't even go in the stroller...as you can imagine this made doing most activities impossible!
we don't even use the stroller right now because he's so much happier in this!
my husband and i have both carries our baby around in this on vacation and it is much easier than pullingout the stroller every time you go in somewhere.
it is very liberating to be able to go out with the babies without a stroller, and to be able to take walks around the block with our dogs without trying to wrangle a stroller and dog leashes.
most of the time, new moms under estimate the value of baby carrier but this carrier is much more easier to handle than a bulky stroller.
i don't bother taking a stroller anywhere i just tie the wrap and go.
my little one will stay in the sling for hours when out although he can get tired and fussy in the stroller.
i don't get much use out of my sit-n-stand stroller, lol.
it's great for in the supermarket, at the mall, or even disney when your baby (newborn to about 4 years) gets cranky with sitting in the cart or stroller, or when the stroller is inconvenient.
groceries or laundry with my son in the sling, and it is so much easier to navigate around than a stroller, and the bonus is that he is so peaceful in it.
it's easy to get her in and out of - and she truly prefers to be in the sling over her carseat/stroller during outings.
i hate taking stroller because it is so big.
when he was newborn, the stroller was almost useless as the sling kept him snug and warm.
we bought a larger kelty child carrier when my older daughter was born and have loved it for hiking, but when we were preparing for a trip to london, we realized travelling with two strollers (or a
so we didn't need a stroller.
we take our daughter everywhere in this, the stroller has become a cat bed!
i mainly use it when she doesnt want to stay in the stroller.
it was small enough to roll up and keep in my purse for the times when my lo got tired of the stroller or car seat, it looks awesome and it very comfortable.
i have two kids and i love to have one in my hotsling while the other is in the stroller/shopping cart.
my son is 2 years old now & yes, he still fits in it -- when he's really tired of walking & we don't have the stroller, the slingeeze hugs him to me, letting him rest/nap, while keeping me hands free.
my 7 month old daughter likes to be in her stroller only for short periods of time so i bring the sling along on our outings.
couldn't take his stroller after 15 minutes when we went shopping.
he is almost 10 mos and loves to be in the slingeeze when he's tired of sitting in the stroller.
it is great for walking the dog and carrying the baby instead of a stroller.
i bought this backpack as an alternative to using a stroller.
i just got a puppy and was having a hard time managing the stroller and the leash on our walks.
due to the cobble streets and roads that are not stroller friendly we had hoped this backpack would be the answer to travelling with a young child.
sometimes a stroller was good, but other times a backpack was the way to go.
how i use it: when i dont want a stroller - walking the dog, walking about town on errands in the snow (urban living), riding the bus or subway, wearing it on extended playground/zoo visits in case
i have a baby who hates to be in seats, such as a bouncy seat or even a stroller, and especially the car seat, so trips to the store where i'd try to stick the car seat in the shopping cart like
we have 2 dogs and it is difficult to walk them with a stroller (they keep getting run over or tangled).
it also helped us to eliminate the need of a bulky double stroller.
it is a great alternative to a bulky stroller.
i know i'll use them for sure :) when we went with my husband to purchase a double stroller for our two children than we found out what our son hits his head on baby's car seat at any double stroller.
a great alternative to lugging around a stroller.
