Baby carrier for bad back?

[Loula]

I have an ergo for when NBA is bigger but am borrowing a hug a bub as of today and all Incan say is bubs and I love it! You really don't feel the weight of bibs once they are in place and all snug. I felt like a new women cause I got both my hands back lol

the close carrier is like a hug-a-bub but easier to get on & off.

i have heard that the ergo is good from when bub is around 4 months but others better for a newborn

I have 3 different ones!

Ergo Love it its easy and comfy from 4 months hated it with a newborn.

Close carrier love it from newborn still put DS2 (8 months) in it and dont get pain in back or neck. (Didn't use with DS1)

Babasling hated it after 4 months as pulled on neck and hurt lower back.

Hope that helps.

I have used an Ergo with 2 of my bubs. I love it! It is easy to use and easy on the back and shoulders. I also have a Hug a Bub but I find it too hot for summer use in my part of the world. I have found the Ergo good for newborns - as long as you have the newborn insert (cost us about $35). Have you looked at the Manduca? Apparently they are very similar to the Ergo.
Good luck!

I thought I had replied to this - sorry!

I have a Kari-Me (sling type carrier) and it was comfortable for hours and hours at a time, even with whiplash and a bad back. I still use it now and DS is three and a half!
