I want to get a wrap because I think it would be a lot easier at the store when I'm alone (how do you guys go around the grocery store alone with an infant? my infant carseat doesn't fit in the front part on most strollers very securely and when it does I'm so short I have trouble seeing over it, haha! And if I put the carseat in the back of the stroller I don't have much room for anything else! Anyone suggest this or have any other suggestions?
For those of you with the wraps which one do you prefer? Some of them can be quite expensive and I'd rather not spend a lot unless it is really necessary.
Re: Which wrap do you like?
I'm prego right now, but have taken care of lots of babies (i'm a nanny for triplets right now). My fave wrap is the moby wrap. i think it is only sold online. Babies R Us has their own version (which I've heard is better b/c it has a pocket). The BRU one is only sold online and I can't remember the name, however I'm sure you can find it if you know what ur looking for. i'm not a fan of the ring slings or baby bijorn b/c when you bend over the baby swings out in front of youor or almost falls out! I've also hear great things about the Baby Ka'tan. however, I don't know much about it.
Hope i'm not overstepping by posting on this board...
The best way to survive shopping is with a good carrier! Now that I have two, it is the ONLY way I get through it (and it usually goes well!) My favorite carriers are wraps. A stretchy one, like Moby, when they are little and a woven one like Storchenwiege when they outgrow the Moby. You can find both at www.MyLittleMunchkinShop.com
I have had the stretchy wrap from BRU as well and while I like it and the pocket is awesome, I find that baby gets too heavy for it to be comfortable before they would in the Moby. I hope that made sense...
