    How about SS? I want to but don't. I have a Maya wrap but never really got the hang of it, though I didn't try very hard. I would really like to though so that I could get more stuff done. Our new dumb apartment doesn't have washer and dryer hook-ups, and I don't want to have to wait for my husband to get home to do laundry. I'd like to be able to wear her and do laundry and other things!

    I wear DS in the baby bjorn for walks and when we are out and about.  He doesn't like being in it around the house.

    I have an ergo and a moby. Baby prefers the moby. I thinking she might like to be worn on my back in the ergo but I'm not talented enough at this point to get help there solo.
  • Options
    Now? Only Boba, and I wear her quite a bit outside the house. Newborn days were my Loveyduds wrap, and inbetween (4 weeks to 3.5 months) was my soft structured Belle Baby carrier.
  • Options
    I bought a moby with DD1 and hated it.  I went with a ring sling this time and we use it quite a bit, she loves it and it doesn't hurt my back to hold her.  I also have a carrier for when she is a bit bigger but I can't remember the brand off hand.

    DD won't let me wear her in anything but our Lovevyduds wrap. She screams in anything else.

    I has this grand vision of being an awesome baby wearer and I bought a lille baby, but in reality, I suck at baby wearing. I need to keep trying so it's easier to take my 3 guys places alone.

    We have a lillebaby and love it! Now if only I could get the hang of breastfeeding with it on...

    I forgot ktan and sling- doh!


    I use a moby, woven, gauze, and SSC. We borrowed a ktan for awhile too.

    I have an Infantino carrier that I like a lot. It was a little confusing to figure out all the straps at first but I've got it pretty well down pat now :)

    I have an Ergo, Mei Tai, K'Tan and Moby.  I never use the Moby anymore, and should really sell it.  I alternate between the others, depending on my mood.

    @TallaB‌ does your LO face forward with legs out or facing you?

    We have a Bjorn on borrow, but mostly SO uses it.

    I borrowed a Moby and a Hotsling (I think?) too but I had trouble getting her into either of them.

    @mbethmcgill She still faces me.  One day i'll face her out, i'm sure she wants to see everything!

    K'Tan, Beco and (old school) Bjorn. I only use the Bjorn for short periods but it's so much easier than the Beco
  • Options
    Ktan as a tiny baby under 10 lbs. we use ergo 360- facing out. He hates being constricted! He loves that carrier- highly recommended. We had a hand me down original ergo but he wanted to face forward.

    I liked my K'tan for ease of use but never found a size that was comfy for me and LO. And LO got so sweaty in it! I also have a couple cheap Infantino's and just got an Ergo. So far, the Ergo is working out the best for both LO's comfort and mine.

    We have a k'tan and another wrap but I don't have the name in my head atm. But since we got the ergo it's the only one I use. But she hates it in the house so I usually just use it for shopping, walking the dog or hiking on the weekends with DH and the fur baby.

    I'm really just a 'wanabee' wearer.  I belong to my local International Babywearing chapter.  For $30/yr I have access to their extensive lending  library.  Returned an Ergo today and checked out an Infantino Mei Tei.  I have a Moby and borrowing RS from SIL.  Baby doesnt seem to love any of them so far.  I am really impressed with the wrappers out there.  So many different carries, it could be considered an art.

    SS, sort of: I WANT to babywear and have a mei tai, but I'm still getting used to getting LO in it myself and she doesn't seem to care for it much, so I don't want to try and force her in the hope she'll just adjust to it. =/

    I feel like I tried everything but my boobs make it hard. Hated the moby, k'tan didn't fit me, and baby girl fusses in the ring sling and MeiTai. Partly, I'm sure, because I'm not awesome at the ring sling, but I think my boobs make it hard for her. I'm so big with such a small waist (comparatively) that she curves in an arc around my breasts. Trying out hip carries an they're more successful. Need to break out the boba; hoping she'll like something I don't have to tightly tie her into better.

    I don't wear her often, but I have the k'tan and the ergo. I like both, but I don't like the k'tan for older infants. I will probably craigslist it or give it to my SIL in a couple months.

    This, but a beco Gemini instead of the ergo. I want to start wearing her more but we haven't had cause to yet since the stroller's been easy.

    We have a Moby and recently just got a Girasol wrap ring sling conversion that I am in love with !! So much faster when we are on the go and LO loves it

    I have a moby, Maya and a structured one. I forget the brand. I wish I would have got into baby wearing with my first. So much easier!

    Combination of things. I had the K'tan and loved it. We use the ergo now. I want to buy a woven wrap and ring sling soon.

    I have a mei tai and I like it but I've really only used it a few times. Most of the time I just don't think about it until it's too late.

    We have the ktan we used up until a few weeks ago and loved. Now we mostly use the ergo which is even more awesome now that I've mastered breast feeding in it. If u haven't tried yet and want to I encourage u to go for it! Just loosen the straps and put an and and anais blanket over u (pull the corners through the loops on the straps) and nobody can see what you're doing. So nice when were out and about and I don't want to keep getting her out to feed her

    How long do your LO's stand in them? Mine currently lasts only a short time before she will fuss to get out. Is it just a matter of getting used to it?
