baby carriers

EIHRHM · June 2012

Did you ladies use a baby carrier? Someone I know has one that they are selling its a Beco and I am thinking of buying it but I am not sure if this is something I should wait till the baby comes to see what he/she fits in and fits on me the best? Any tips would be great!

I have an ergo and beco gemini. I read up on these and they are really similar. Both are well recommended. The beco can forward face while the ergo cannot which is why I decided to get both. My BIL has the bjorn and likes it, but my husband is a big guy and couldn't fit into that one.

We have the Bjorn but HATED it. For #2 im getting the Ergo and Beco Gemini (also for front facing). DS lived in the carrier until he was too big for it. So its a must have for us.

glad you say the bjorn is terrible. I had heard that from other ladies, but BIL swore a million times that it was great.

i also have read that the Bjorn are horrible for the baby as far as their hips go, i dont know how true this is though.

My kids were not carrier kids, so I have cheaper ones for the -5 times they each have been in. Mostly for hiking when I would not carrier them. So for me, I would wait. I have Moby, Infantino and Jeep one. Maybe if I had a "nicer" one it would have worked but I hated wearing one too.

I have an ergo but haven't put baby E in it yet. I heard the bjorn was bad on your lower back, and the ergo distributes the weight to your hips so it's more comfortable for you to wear.

dH refuses to wear a carrier, so it's all me.

We have a Snugli and LOVE it. A loves it too. DH, FIL and I have all used it, it's awesome. We have taken A on a couple hikes and it was comfortable for me to even use and what a work out. We also use the Moby quite often, especially in the evenings when she's fussy and doesn't want to be put down and I need to cook or prep for the next day.

I bought a Bjorn for K but ended up returning it before we could use it as she already had issues with her hips. The moby is way too complicated for me!

Now with S I have a Beco Gemini and I love it. Ive been using it since he was 4 weeks old.

Ergo or Beco are the most ergonomic and best for baby's hips. Although, I have heard that Infantino has made an ergonomic carrier very similar to to the Ergo for a lot less. You want one that will keep baby in the natural seated position, NOT dangling from the crotch (which the Bjorn does).

I LOVE our Ergo! I used it with G until I was too pregnant to carry him any longer and now use it for J every day.
