I have a Jazzsling and another sling and I can't praise them enough! Although it was too hot to wear my baby when he was born, i use it with him now and he absolutely loves being close to his mummy and being able to see the world from up high as we walk around, i love it too, it doesn't even feel like i am carrying a 12kg child. I have a dodgy back too and it is never sore after i carry him, even if its for a couple of hours.
My aunty is the manager of a baby store and she NEVER recommends the baby bjorn and the like to any customers because she too knows they are not good for baby's spine. She always recommends a sling and thats how I found out about my slings (i purchased mine from ebay).
I LOVE my slings and I will definately be using them for my next baby.
We bought a BB for DS before he was born coz we saw them everywhere and were told they were the best and i hate it. DS is a big bub and i cant carry him in it at all. I know that part of it is coz im weak and do get a sore back but i could only carry him for 3 months in it. I had him in it for 10 minutes the other day and i still have the pain in my lower back. DH can wear it and does but only for short periods as i am concerned about the legs dangling so we mainly use it if we need to jump in and out of the car when we are shopping. I wish wish wish we had bought an ergo but ds hates it coz he isn't used to having his legs spread and prefers to face outwards. I wish i had found this article when we were shopping for carriers. Everyone has the right to make their own decisions for their children and i respect that i just wish i had made a different decision.
