Lol at Euan Suse, perhaps he won't get so excitable as he gets used to being carried? Then again, if he loves it...well, you can't contain the enthusiasm of a kid really can you...

Rans used the Pikkolo at the shops tonight (thing we bought yesterday was annoyingly faulty!) and reckoned it was super comfy and easy. Wants to use it on an outing with Riv though, so he can give it a proper comfort test with a heavy kid.

Willow, I've not used an Ergo, I might see if I can try one at the next nappy meetup, but if you're considering more kids, I think the Pikkolo's a winner, since you can use it from newborn without needing an insert. Also, in the Pikkolo kids can face outwards - Riv's too big for that and Si's not there yet...but I know that Riv loved it in the Bjorn when he was younger. The Pikkolo also has a head rest, so if you have a problem like Suse describes where sleeping bub's head lolls back, it can be supported.

I would have thought the CBB MT's would have a sleeping hood Suse, since the Pikkolo's do...? Weird.
