    As much as I would love to take your money...LOL....I am not going to give you a bum steer...In all honesty I think the Oh Snap! is a better option for you hun, especially if you have long bodied children.....you will find the pikkolo very limited in your particular case.....

    Sorry to hijack - I really like the look of the Ohsnap and am sorely tempted to get one (they are sooo pretty too!), but was just wondering what size/age kid you could wear in them? Was thinking if DD could still fit in it (she's not quite 2 but am thinking about next summer when we go camping, so she'd be 2.5-3). Coz the ability to have DD in this and DS in the piccolo might be a selling point. ( Or am tempted to do the naughty and have it turn up one day!)

    Gosh don't tell me that! LOL. I sent it on the first, I thought it would have been there by now? But I haven't sent anything to TAS before so maybe it takes longer?

    SammyRo......Depending on the size of your child of course but the Oh Snap should be fine for those ages.....it is best suited to bubs over the age of six months and is really a toddler carrier....much bigger than the pikkolo...hoipe that helps.....

    Bahahahahahaha!!!! Well she was ok to me the other day, it was the guy in there that was SOOOO rude. I even took Sterla in there with me today for protection, and he actually wasn't as mean as he usually is.

    I secretly think they are hiding my sling just cos they hate me.

    Hi ladies.... sorry to hijack but since you are all a fountain of knowledge I need your advice please ....... I am after a hip wearing carrier and I notice that Suse mentioned the Scootababy- are there any places in Aus that sell them??? Its for my little Charlie bear- she is almost 9 months and 9.5kgs and is getting heavy and wriggly on the hip - as she hates the pram and is going through the cling on stage so I need a great carrier for her! Plus we are going to Fiji in August and def not taking the pram so would like a carrier to use instead.... I have HAB but I am cr@p at wearing it and I feel like I am constantly fixing it and to be honest worried that I haven't got it on properly!!!

    So after that long winded speech can anyone help or suggestion anything?

    Cheers ladies

    I don't have a hip carrier (other than the hot sling - which I hardly use bahahaha) and I don't have a babyhawk oh snap either anymore, I sold it because it wasn't very comfy on me.

    But - if you want some recommendations to other carriers, I have a kleinsmekker mei tai, and a beco butterfly II at the moment, both of which are awesome
