Hey Ladies,

Has anyone found a good baby carrier that you like?  There are so many slings, wraps, front and hip carriers.  I just don't know where to begin.

Any suggestions?

I bought a used baby bjorn front carrier off of craigslist or ebay (can't remember) for $20.  I LOVED it.  Unfortunately, Libby would throw up almost every time I put her in there.  Oh, and then she would fall asleep.  I am hoping our 2nd likes it.

I tried the Moby, slings and regular carriers.

In the beginning, this is what Jantzen used................







Now, Jantzen LOVES this one and it's quite comfy for babies over 15 pounds...............

I am so going to buy one of those hip hammocks !

Cooper can't fit into his Chicco one any more (He only liked it front facing). 

That is awesome !  Thanks for posting.... I didn't even know these existed.

My sister got it as a gift for her daughter and gave it to me about 2 months ago since her daughter outgrew it. He loves it. I go grocery shopping with him in it and it's so nice. He can look around front and back of me and flirt with all the people he sees!

 I have the Hotsling and a Moby wrap.  i find the Hotsling uncomfortable unless you have a tiny newborn.  Alex was fine in it until he hit about 8lbs and then it was just too heavy and hurt my back/neck.  

The moby wrap I find okay, but I still haven't perfected getting it wrapped tight enough that I feel secure in removing my hands from supporting his body while in it.  I also think that with 200000 feet of fabric, it's a bit cumbersome to shove into the diaper bag.

I have one of just about everything LOL but I use my Maya wrap the most. I have a very wide back, and I am still about 50 lbs overweight, and I find that the Moby (and most other carriers) just does not have enough fabric to fit me and baby comfortably.

The maya takes time, and alot of practice to get it right, but once you get it and know how to do it, its simple and quick to get on. I literally wear mine about 18 hours a day, and I am never sore or hurt from it.

I loved my Baby Bjorn! I used it for all 4 kids and  just gave it to a friend expecting her first.  If you are large you can get a larger one.  I loved having the baby in there from birth and then when they were bigger.  You never needed to hold then with one hand or anything and it is comfy on your back even when they get heavier.

I love love love my www.loveyduds.com wrap, it's basically the moby wrap but more colorful.  My daughter didn't like the Snugli or the sling but loved this.  If it's something that you think your baby might like make your own first and try it.  I went to Walmart and bought 5-6 yards of cheap $2/yd fabric, cut it in half the long way and then folded it in 1/2 again.  I then wrapped according to directions and my baby loved it!  The way it wraps you can hold 4 different ways from newborn to 30lbs.  If it wasn't for the shoulder surgery I had 12 days ago I'd still be carrying her in it and she's almost 1 now.
