Thanks Lea - thats sort of what I had in mind! We used a Ryco carrier for Izzy but I couldn't use it for long because it hurt my shoulders so DH mainly used it if we went to the shops etc... this time around I will have my hands full wth Izzy and don't want to use my P & T when bub is tiny so will use the sling and my stroller for grocery shopping etc... Not too sure how often I will use it at home - will see how we go!
