My Turn... Looking at newborn baby wearing options...

[Arimeh]

I got a close carrier for #3 - its a bit too flimsy for Miss M at nearly 10kg, but will be perfect for the newborn.

I've seen Linda and some other girls use theirs and I can't wait to try it out!!

Would you be able to sell a close carrier second hand after 6 months use, as this is my last bub?

[Pretty Butterfly]

I dont see why not..... I have used mine for 6 months now and it looks brand new.. and Ill get a lot of use out of it yet, I haven't even turned Harmony around to outward facing yet!!!

hmmm excuse my ignorance but is this a tie up wrap style??

I have a baba sling and ergo.

once DS was about 4 months old baba sling hurt my neck and couldnt use for long periods. Ergo i love but didnt like with a newborn as never looked comfy with insert, so will be looking for another carrier for same reason baby and 18 month old to run after.

I loved my Peanut Shell!!!! I had 2! A microfleece one and a cotton one for the warmer months. They come in really funky designs too!

had pouch and ergo with insert and found we needed to get a meitai wrap too, it was such a great purchase as the other ones just didnt work right for us till bub got bigger. I found it easier to put on the meitai than the pouch!
there are mei tais made from lightweight material and have clips (like the ergo) rather than tieing.

Feeb - Did you watch that BBC show Bringing up Baby, it is the one from that... Cotton wrap style, but with a buckle... Very cool. I am so close to getting one... Just wanted to get some last opinions on the subject before I finalise my decision...

I love the thought of a mei tie, but as I have the ergo I am not sure if I really can justify one..

And I have tried a pouch, but it wasn't the best for long periods for my back...

See how unsure I am here...

i have the ellaroo ring sling. it has been the best investment. used it from day dot, pretty much all day everyday for the last 2 years and it has NO signs of wear or tear. i like that it can be folded up and shoved into handbags, can be used as an emergency nappy mat and also as a blankie for when you are on a plane and the air-con goes bonkers...

love it!
