DD loves to face out.  She has a bjorn but I have heard bad things about them.  Anyone have a carrier that faces baby out and in they would recommend?

    Most carriers that are worth their salt don't have a facing out option because of the research that indicates baby's need to face in (hip placement, overstimulation, etc.)  That being said, pikkolo faces out and I have heard some good things about them but i don't have any experience with them.  You could also face out with a ring sling or a wrap if you desired.  A high back carry can have the same effect for babies that like to see out, but is easier on your back and better on their hips.

    I would find something you can do a back carry with rather than facing her out.  DS loves to see around and a high back carry works great with him.

    The Beco Gemini will be released soon, and it is supposed to have a front-facing option.

    I have the Pikkolo and I think what makes it good for ffo is that the crotch width is adjustable. I got it from quirkybaby.com (I went to her house and tried on a few different ones and it fit me the best). I am willing to bet that if you emailed her she could tell you the what and why of who does ffo best, Jane is SUPER knowledgeable about babywearing. Hth!
