Hi everyone,

I'm having my second baby in late spring and i'm looking for a baby carrier to use in the hotter weather. I had my first baby in late spring too and used a baby bjorn original, but it hurt my back and i think it was too hot for him as well. After he was six months i went onto the Ergo and that was great, but i'm looking for something that is good for babies up to six months in warm weather. I thought the close baby carrier looked good, but would that be too warm? I'm not sure i'm keen on a sling, i like the idea of even spread support. Also, do most people buy their baby carriers off the net? It seems most of the baby stores seem to stock just the baby bjorn or cheaper versions of it.

Also, just one more thing while i'm here. I carried my son until he was 18 months old and people would always say 'oh isn't he heavy?' blah blah negative. I felt like i had to constantly justify carrying my baby while getting these sympathetic looks! If only they knew how lovely and easy it is. On another note though, i did sometimes get positive comments from people too which was always nice

Thanks,
Jess
