Argh! Why are carriers so expensive!?

oohlalagirl

We're on a limited budget, but we would like to get a new carrier. All we have now is a Moby and a pouch sling. The Moby is great, but I'd like something easier to take on and off and the pouch sling makes my back/hip hurt. Does anyone know where I can find a decent price carrier? I'm looking for a buckle/soft structured carrier.

Are you opposed to used?  There are lots of great carriers on the FSOT forum at thebabywearer.com.

Buy used!  You can usually get a really great deal.

Good luck!

Not at all opposed to used. I'm searching TBW now, but I'm so unfamiliar with the website...

Did you find the FSOT forum ok?  TBW has a great search function (unlike the bump!) so you can search for carriers if you have an idea of what you want - beco, ergo, etc.  You could search for "buckle" too which would bring up some smaller brands of carrier as well.

I didn't know that! Thanks for the tip, that will make searching MUCH easier!

I see good deals on Ergos on craigslist all the time. Good luck!
