Carriers

Recommend your carrier.  Is the ergo still the best to purchase.  Is the 360 worth it.  I thought the forward facing position was not good for the baby.

    Depending on age and what we are doing I like different things. For the record I hated the ergo. For little babies I like the k'tan or a ring sling. Once they have head control I love the Beco's (both the soleil and the gemini.

    I thought the Ergo was awesome until I tried a Beco Gemini.  It was easier to put on and take off and more comfortable than the Ergo, if you can believe it.  I sold my Ergo and bought the Gemini.  Haven't regretted it!

    For the first 3-4 months I loved the Baby K'Tan.  So easy and comfortable.  

    Once he got older though we moved to the Boba (soft structured carrier, not the wrap) and love that.  I have a regular 4G Boba and an air.  Love the AIR because it packs super small, but it has less support, so I wouldn't use it for long periods of time.  We got it specifically to go back and forth to day care (we walk 2 blocks).  For most other things we use the regular Boba and are big fans.

    My baby isn't here yet, but I tried the Ergo and Beco Soleil in a store. I found the Soleil easier to use and more comfortable, especially with weight in it. I'm short - only 5"2' - and I've read other reviewers say the Beco was better for their short statures then the Ergo. I would definitely recommend trying a few on (with weight - a gallon of water works well).

    I liked the moby the first couple of months. Now we use the ergo 360, and I love it! My nosey little guy is often much happier facing outward, and I think it's really comfortable.

    I loved the Moby for months 0-4ish. From 4-8 months I used everything from the Moby, to the Ergo, to an occasional original Beco carrier (like model 1.0 I think, it was given to me free). By 8 months we were strictly Ergo, and we still use it nearly every day to walk the dog. And I'm 25 weeks pregnant and my son is 2!

    I hated the Ktan. I love my Infantino Mei Tei and Beco Gemini

    @DreamingBabies‌ why didn't you like the k'tan? I'm thinking about getting one for while I'm on mat leave with this LO so I can still play with DD

    Beco Gemini for sure! You can use I with a newborn, you just use the flap to support their head. Super easy to put on. 4 ways to use it. Can't say enough good things.

    Though the Baby Gear Guy is releasing a new carrier in Sept with Boba and I bet that one will be amazing!
