We used a baby bjorn with DD (we got the "active" one with better back support than the original) & it was great. We've kept it for this bubs aswell. DH was still wearing DD in the baby bjorn when she was close to one!
This time round I bought a hug a bub off ebay as I've heard so many great stories of using them when bubs is a newborn so this is what I'll be trying (obvioulsy haven't tried it yet but looking forward to it in the coming days!) DH will prob stick with the baby bjorn as he loved it so much.
DH broke his back in 2001 which is the main reason we got the baby bjorn ACTIVE & he never had any probs with his back while carrying DD in it over all thos months
Renstar I.ve just bought a Jazsling off ebay tonight. It looks similar to a peanut shell though. I was also looking at the bubba rocks ones aswell but they look a bit too complicated for me. I'll let you know how the sling goes when it arrives.
I had a cheaper BB style carrier by Ryco - DON'T go near that either! It is ok for DH on the odd occasion and in fact he used it on the weekend but it kills my shoulders.
If you know somebody who can do some simple sewing, you could make a HAB or even a Mei Tei type carrier fairly easily. I bought material for mum to sew both for me, and they will be made in the next week or so. Cost me about $35 for the material for both, as opposed to triple that for both. There are patterns online that you can use to sew them. Good luck!
Hi Renstar
