Glad you are so happy with your new carrier Kate

After reading these posts, I have just been having a look on youtube, and think they look great too. Would anyone recommend them for older babies? DD is nearly 6 months, and about 8.5kgs. I have a sling but she only goes in the hip carry now and doesnt sleep that way so would love a carrier that she would actually sleep in. Thanks in advance x

Another fan here!! I would have another baby to be able to use mine again. I just loved newborn cuddles in it. Glad everyone else feels the same.

Manhattan, I would think think you might be better with an ergo or another ssc instead of the close for your DD. My DS (6m) is much happier now in the ergo, the stretchy close feels a bit loose now...xo

I would look for a mei tai, SSC or a woven wrap at that age. I was still using the close up to about 7 months with Laa until I tried a woven wrap, then the close was put away for next bub I have never tried an ergo but most people seem to love them - SSC wise I have had a Dream carrier (didnt like), Pikkolo (didnt like) and Beetlebums (Lurrrrve). MT wise I have found Kleinsmekkers to be the only ones that have lasted in this house (have tried bamberoo, ellaroo, cat bird baby, silly goose, eye2eye... umm a few more i think but have forgotten)......... of the wraps I have tried my fave are the didymos linen blends, but ellevill, girasol, neobulle, storchenweige, vatanai are some other brands to check out. (all of my wraps are didymos except the neobulle organic rose, this is one of the most amazing wraps ever IMHO)
