I know there were a few discussions about carriers..what did everyone end up buying and why? How are you liking baby wearing so far?
I swore up and down I would not buy a carrier and now we're in the market for one. We have a vacation planned for September and will definitely need something with great back support and breathable so DD doesn't overheat. Any suggestions?
Re: Baby Carriers
I also was gifted a ring sling and can't make it work, which makes me sad, haha.
I have a woven wrap and a Lillebaby. I like both for different reasons. The Lille is way easier to use than a wrap, but more expensive.
ETA: you can use the different positions when baby is old enough on your vacation. Not while she's an infant.
I also bought the boba wrap I need to play with it some more, DH used it a couple times successfully, when I tried DS was fussy so I need to try it again. I'd really like to teach DS to BF in the wrap as he gets older and has more head/neck control. I can say I am a little annoyed with how much my shirts slide around while putting on the wrap (which I'm sure would happen with any wrap style carrier). I've heard some people put wraps on at home and then when they arrive at the store they take baby out of the carseat and put them in the wrap, I may try that soon.
DS is 3 weeks and hasn't been in a stroller yet because we prefer wearing him since he is so content in the carrier and he is still little and it is fairly cold out it is reassuring to be able to feel that is nice and warm.

I just have a Snugli brand carrier from Ross.
I bought it originally to use with little cousin (girl) and now I have a little boy but I have still been using this one with him anyway although the design is kinda girly. I also had a Spiderman one that's really cute from someone on a local for sale site on facebook but I am just comfortable with my old one and confident in its support so I haven't even tried the Spiderman one yet.

No idea if you could purchase one in the US but I'm convinced it's the best there is.
Pretty expensive though.

I loooove my ergo jacket that fits the baby inside- I couple it with the Gemini.

Eta...I bought mine for nearly half price the Lillebaby website. They often have open box sales, but mine was brand new with tags!
