XP: Carrier for around the house?

cndmexbaby

The bjorn is killing my back and I am sick of my moby - I can never get it quite right and it's frustrating. I am tired of all the material.

 However, my baby naps best when she is worn to sleep. I need a carrier/sling that is easy to use around the house so I can wear her and get some stuff done. I would appreciate recommendations!

Thanks!

A Baby K'Tan.  Snuggly like a moby, but easy.

Edit:  I love my Ergo Performance.  It is also great, but the K'Tan is closer to a moby. If I were only going to have one, it would be the Ergo.

Your LO may be too heavy for the moby which could be the cause of your problems... if you want to try another wrap, I'd recommend a woven. Alternately, I've heard very good things about the ergo. Unlike the bjorn, it should be better on your back. Or have you tried a ring sling? There are SO many baby carrier options. May I also recommend you read NCBelle's babywearing guide? https://www.becomingmamas.com/babywearing-2/

I don't think so - she is not even 12 pounds yet. But I am just not good with wraps.

I have heard great things about the Ergo - is it good for around the house? I find that the Bjorn blocks my view and gets in the way when I am trying to get certain asks done. I have looked at ring slings but she doesn't have full head control yet so I am not sure that is the right fit. I don't really want to wait to get something new because naps are becoming a huge frustration!

I have checked out that website. Thanks.

Easy sounds good to me!

As much as I love my Ergo, in a front carry, it will block your view a bit.  They sell the K'Tan, Ergo, and ring slings at the Buy Buy Baby near me.  You might consider trying them on if there is a store near you.  (Also, Bed Bath & Beyond or Buy Buy Baby 20% off coupons can be used on the K'Tan and some of the other carriers there, which is a nice bonus.)
