    HIre for Baby only do Baby Bjorns hun not sure if there are any other places liek this t hough. COuld you get someone to make you one? There are lots of patterns for Mei Teis online and they are easy to make and the fabric would ony cost around $30.....mine is nearly done!

    If you join google group baby carriers downunder, they have a lending library, though I think it's only a few weeks at a time, so I don't know if that will help...you might pick up a second hand one there though...

    If I keep favouring our BabyHawk over the Pikkolo, you might be able to borrow mine, but it's hard to tell...sorry, that's not very helpful is it.

    Is there a reason you don't want to use your ergo from birth? I used mine with DD#2 right from the start and it was brilliant.

    Otherwise, I have only seen baby bjorns for hire too - nothing like huge advertising dollars to convince the majority of the market there are no other baby carriers out there!
