They are great, glad that you like it!! DD has been to the footy a few times in it - including the anzac day game when she was 3.5 weeks old & she slept right through everything

Oooh Sloane, how does DS go at the footy? DH is itching to go but I've been a bit hesitant.

Lol hijacking, but it's my own thread so I figure I'm allowed!!!

I can't believe that wearing the CC I end up with less back pain/fatigue than if I'm holding her.

Carriers like HAB, Close, Ergo are great for bubs with hip issues as they hold legs in similar position to brace. Bjorn one not so good,(Bellybelly posted a pic on FB today). I used a HAB with DD while in a brace no problem, and is more comfy would think as not lying on bar. I also used Ergo, close carrier was not really around when had DD so never looked. HAB I like wearing it but can be an issue getting on and off as need to remember how to tie not drop ends in puddles etc. if had my time again would just by HAB style from a SAHM (will PM you link) as is just a piece of material. They ate good to get before birth in my opinion so can practice tying etc (I used kermit).

Can you please pm me the link too!

dd is great at the footy - I've just ordered a new carrier because I found she was getting a bit heavy. Never had so many people want to look at a baby and ooh and ahh over her - older men have been fascinated by the cc and think it's great!! We don't take ds to games that clash with his sleep - he's enough of a handful without it being sleep time too. He needs space to move around and tbh I don't really watch as much of the game when he comes. But he does love the atmosphere and cheering. He was fine with the noise when he was little but at 20 ish months took a quarter to adjust to the noisr. He was so excited when he realised that therr were lots of people wearing the same top as him. The facilities aren't bad but are def easiest to get to on level 1. And at both the g and etihad there are tvs in the parents rooms so you can still watch the game!

Sweet, DD1 is 3 so I wondered how she'd go and knew your DS was a bit younger. Thanks Sloane

No worries! I remember when I pg I saw a 3ish year old sitting with his parents and he was watching a dvd on a portable dvd player...cue a 'no child of mine...' moment. In hindsight, it's not a bad idea at all! I think it depends alot on temperament too - ds is unlikely to evet sit still for too long. Last time we took him we stood for a quarter, sat the next and repeated in the second half!
