Ergo users, a question

ViveVive member
in July 2012 Moms
Is anyone using their ergo in any position other than baby in the front cuddled against your chest yet?

I have stopped using the insert a week or so ago [he'd nearly cleared the lower weight limit, and has pretty amazing neck control]. But he wants to look at what I'm doing... And is becoming a little owl like [ie twisting his neck as far around as possible] to do so.

Seeing as the ergo doesn't allow them to face outward I thought I might try the hip position... But I would love to hear other people have done this first.

    I have used all three. Emery loves the back carry position and I can get more done around the house this way. Unfortunately she likes to lick and puke on my back lol!

    Hip carry is super uncomfortable for me in the Ergo. Back carry is easier on my back, but harder to do. I have a Beco Gemini that allows a forward facing front carry, but that's hard on your back too. Is a ring sling an option for you? They're pretty inexpensive and best for a hip carry.

    Ahem. Ring slings seem to go for around 80 to 100 dollars here [I just looked]. Yeah it's less than a new ergo but still not cheap.

    Whaaaaat?! I'm off to shop. Is EBay an option? Is it the shipping that makes them so expensive? 80 dollars is ridiculous

    I have a Maya Wrap ring sling and I loved it w Caleb. Hunters pushing 19lbs and I need more support than it offers. Maybe it should travel to AU

    eBay might be an option if I knew which ones were trustworthy... And it might partially be the shipping, but most likely it's just the "Australia" tax ie charge more because it's Australia and we can [and historically we paid more because we were so low against the USD, but now that we are even well charge the same anyway because people are used to it].

    Thebabywearer.com has a swap site where moms sell or trade carriers, wraps and slings. I've heard great things about Sleeping Baby Slings too
