Recommend a carrier
I am planning on getting a carrier for my husband's birthday in a few weeks. I know he wants a carrier that buckles, baby can face in or out, and he wants to start wearing when baby is a newborn. I have been looking at the Ergo, but wasn't sure about the baby facing out position. Any other carriers you would recommend? TIA

Re: Recommend a carrier
Ergo does not face out. They designed it so that it is not possbile as the research shows that it is healthier for baby's spine to be in a 'froggy" position with their legs at a ninety degree or greater angle with full seat support and this is best achieved by facing in. There are a host of other reasons that people will point to as to why baby should face in.
Ergo can be used from newborn, but it requirs an insert to do so. I don't know mucb about the other carriers. I would stay away from the bjorn type though.
