Ergo - front position...

I will have the pikkolos in a few weeks Willow if that helps. I am
Just waiting for their stocks to come in again

Front facing - from my extensive collection they can face forward in the BB, peanut shell and HAB. Not the ergo though but that is ok - they can be carried on the back or hip. You can try all of mine if you like

Ooooh Mel, that's a big help! I did have a quick peek on your site but didn't think you carried them. Could you let me know when you get them in? I won't be buying one for a few weeks anyway so that would be perfect.

Michelle - I have the BB and loved it with DD but she was a light weight and this is sumo boy we're talking about! With my dodgy shoulder, he is just too heavy to have hanging off me all day. A few hours at playgroup just about kills me and I'm crippled for days afterwards

I don't know how much of a problem him not being about to face out would be but I'd prefer to have that option. He loves it in the BB.

I have a 100knots ring sling that I'm sure would be fantastic if I could work out how to use the darn thing! I haven't used it since he was a newborn.

Yep - the little man is getting too heavy for the BB too (and he is only 8kg). I find the peanut sling fine for short trips and distances - great for a hip carry and front facing me when he is tired and needing a sleep. Ergo is great for longer distances and he lurves the back carry - thinks it's a horsy ride with the initial jiggling The HAB is surprisingly good for forward facing carry as well as the facing in one. I haven't tried the pikkolo so I can't say how they are - DH would shoot me if I bought another one

Yeah, the BB is still OK for quick preschool drop offs etc but I want something I can wear for longer trips, shopping etc.
