    Hi

    DS and I love baby wearing.. I always do a fwcc or a reinforced kangaroo carry, but I find it hurts my neck (Kangaroo carry, not FWCC) Do you think it's the wrap or the carry?

    I have a new addiction to woven wraps, so I have sold all my stretchy wraps bar 2 to fund my new woven..

    Thanks T - I've fixed it

    Might be either BAL....? I've not done much front carrying in a wrap - except a stretchy when DS was very little

    Whee, just had a lovely day out cruising Freo wearing my boy. First on my back and then later on my front, where he snuggled in for a snooze And so much easier trying to negotiate the markets (which are really crowded) without a bulky pram to contend with.

    I am wondering though, has anyone got any suggestions for comfy bags to wear with a carrier? My ergo backpack hooks onto a buckled ssc quite well, not so great with a ring sling or the km, so I've been using a shoulder bag, but can't do it across the body so it gets heavy on the shoulder after a while as it's unbalanced (unlike DS).

    I think you can get special bags. Also it's possible to tie them on to the shoulder strap. Weight can be an issue if you're carrying lots of things, though = I tend to use a granny trolley if we're going far afield for any length of time. The nappy bag usually stays in the car, though.

    I'm not usually carrying all that much, weight wise. Just a nappy or 2, wet bag and change mat plus my purse, phone and keys. Maybe a toy and a bib as well. If I'm out for a long trip away from the car and back up supplies it's usually with DH who can carry the backpack separately. Might have a search around to see if there's any nice tie shoulder bags so they can be untied and threaded through the shoulder strap.

    you can probably jerry rig yourself something - slip a tie under the strap and then tie the bag on that way...? i've never done it, but presume it would work?
