Carrier for an 11kg bub?

[sunshine_sieben]

The Eergo is really comfy and easy to use. I still use it sometimes (for travel) with my almost 2 year old. Actually haven't used it for a while though, due to my belly getting in the way,...

Hi,
Tennykins - I like my peanut shell sling which I now use to carry my DD on my hip. I wouldn't like to do it for hours, but an hour or two is fine. She is about 11 kgs and I can see it working for a while yet.
Take care.

I just got an Ergo - Charlotte is about 10kgs - and I was actually really surprised how comfy it was. I have a new Ergo sports one, and I only wore her tonight for the first time in it, for about 45 min doing the dishes (back carry) and she was happy as and I barely noticed she was there.
Will try it going for a walk tomorrow see how we go
And Daryl likes it cos it isnt covered in flowers lol

My biggest concern is the cost of the Ergo if it hurts my shoulder IYKWIM. Marlene, any chance I'd be able to have a try of your Ergo on the weekend?

You sure can Sarah!!

Well thanks to Marlene (thanks hun), we tested out the Ergo today while on a trip to the Blue Mountains & I must say I'm impressed My shoulders are fine tonight & I had it on for a few hours all up (off an on). I have two concerns now.... How on earth do you do the clip near the shoulders up on your own?? I had to get Aaron to do it! And will I use it enough to warrant buying one?!

I do it while straps are lose if i have bubs on front. by putting hands on the behind head.

Well, I find that if you have the straps high enough (the ones behind your neck), they are easy to reach.
And I have to say, I got more than my money's worth from my Ergo. Don't know if you will, depends on your circumstances. But you can always resell it. I have heard their resale value is pretty good.
I have also heard that the black one can bleach out quite a bit from sun etc. So I got the tan one instead. Something you might consider if you're thinking of reselling down the line. Also, baby spew stands out way more on black,...

Were you front or back carrying? If you google the ergo website had video instructions on how to put the carrier on in the various positions when I went there a while back. It's easy once you get the hang of it!

hi i personally recommend woman wrap as they are more comfortable because they are padded and less weight is on solders which makes them easy to carry
