Nelle, Euan's been carried since birth, so you'd reckon he'd be used to the excitement by now!! He's little Mr Up'n'Go though, always wants to be looking around, and woe betide if mummy dares to stop for a second.

Yeah, it is weird that the MT doesn't have a hood, but they're not difficult to make!! kinda like a hanky with straps. I've seen detachable hoods for sale but I can't remember where.

Willow, the Ergo also has a hood - and a pocket. The pocket was the selling point for me (that and timing - I needed it for a trip to Melbourne and wouldn't have got a Pikkolo in time). I think that the Pikkolo is more compact though - it has lighter padding. Nelle, the waist-band on the P is unpadded, isn't it? This doesn't mean less comfort though - far from it. The Ergo is designed to sit more around the hips, where the P is more like a true MT and the waist band sits on the waist - is that right Nelle?

I would so love to get my sewing act into gear and make a MT, I've got some gorgeous Japanese silk that would be awesome for panels. Maybe one day - it's something you wouldn't want to stuff up - is it!?
