I love my ergo have used it heaps with both kids for front and back carry. From around 4 months until 2 years! Very easy to use and supportive and I find comfortable.
My ergo has been the best buy...I can carry my 4yr old on my back, if I have to. My 2yrold has used it since birth.
for long walks it is great.
I also have an aba mei tai...it was only $40 brand new (before members discount)...it is good too...can wear front or back...takes a few practises, but once you get the nack, is fine.
Any of the carriers on mothers direct are good for your back add for baby too.avoid crotch danglers.
I think i might go to the local shop that sells carriers and test out the ergo. If that feels comfy LuluHB maybe i could take you up on your offer of a loan?
Kim thanks for the offer also, i'll see how the ergo fees first up and take it from there
Catherine i had a look at Mothers Direct, i see the $40 mei tai so i know that's there if i need it. Thanks
