    Ergo style carrier that does up at the sides/front?

    I've been trying to find a carrier similar to the Ergo that does up at the sides or front but haven't had much luck. I have 2 dodgy wrists (one has been fused and doesn't bend at all) and can't even do up my bra at the back, so I need something fairly easy to do up which is also supportive for me and my 8.5kg chubba bub.

    Does anyone know of one?

    I tried a HAB style, but I'd prefer something with clips. I've been using the original Bjorn but it's getting more and more uncomfortable!

    The ABA carrier has clips - it's pretty good, and was my first carrier before I bought my HAB

    Maybe the manduca? Or basically any SSC that crosses over the back when in front carry. Beco's are good - one of my favs.

    I'm trying a manduca on the weekend though so I can let you know what my review is of that!

    I was actually looking at the Manduca this morning but saw that it had a clip across the back like the Ergo so dismissed it. Of course, now I've just gone back and looked at pics in some of the other colours and see it can cross over! Thanks Mel! I'd love to hear your review

    I just bought myself a Beco Butterfly :-) Thanks for the suggestions!

    Awesome I liked my beco!!

    Manduca was good too - have a pic on fb with dd3 asleep in it. She slept for about 2.5 hours in it!
