How much do you love your carrier?

Omg, bought a Close Carrier, and I have my life back again

I love it! DD can happily sleep away while I do washing, get food ready, put clothes away...it's the best!

DD fits in so well, it's comfy and looks awesome. What carrier do you have, and why do you love it?

Humungous Gigantor!!

I have used a hug-a-bub since birth and more recently got a ring sling. Love them both

PZ I have an ergo and I love it for all the same reasons

I used it from as soon as we were out of hospy, it was my life saver. Sometimes the only way to get things done was to have dd in it.
I love it, use it more than my pram. It's light, comfy & so easy to put on!

LOVE mine too. Have DD2 snoozing in it right now. I always give her a sleep in it at the same time DD1 has a nap because she will sleep for longer and then I get maximum time-out LOL.

I had a HAB for both girls when they were small and now have DD2 in an ergo, love them both!

I have 2 beetlebums.

They are just awesome

Um, I don't love mine. Or better yet, Annabelle doesn't. It's a Peanut Shell one, and she looks comfy, I feel super comfy - she's in exactly the same position as when I'm holding her, but she'll cry unless I am actually holding her which defeats the whole purpose of the sling! Hilarious really, she'll cry until I put my arms around her, then she's all happy. As soon as I let the sling take her weight, she's cranky again lol.

Might just be the type of carrier though. I've also got a Combi Carrier - she doesn't like it in infant mode (lying down) but I tried it with her upright and facing me and she loved it - just a little too young for that yet!

I have a close carrier, Annabel hates it

Idont know if I should sell it and buy an Ergo ... sigh

Lol Belle, maybe it's the baby name that does it!

I have a close carrier - absolutely love it! It's so comfy and DD sleeps so well in it. Need to find another carrier soon though, as DD is going to start getting a bit heavy for the close carrier soon.

**Sterla** · July 22nd, 2011, 01:54 PM

Ooh... very, very interested!!!

**Arimeh** · July 22nd, 2011, 01:56 PM

Its the one I used to have - before I swapped it for the orange one?

**luna moth** · July 22nd, 2011, 03:15 PM

I have 8. I love them all, each in their own special way.

If I had to pick one favourite..... probably the mei tai, a godsend in the Brissie summer, and SOOOO comfy.

But I remember the Close carrier raptures PZ. Sanity saver.

I had a Peanut Shell with DS1 which was great while he was small but it put too much strain on one shoulder when he got heavier. I also used a Baby Bjorn which was ok but I didn't have the one with lumbar support.

This time around I have an Ergo Carrier and it is fantastic. In fact, my DS2 is asleep in it right now. He has reflux but he'll sleep great in the Ergo. I would 100% recommend it to anyone. I've only had it for about 6 weeks but it's already worth it! He can be in it for a couple of hours and I still don't get a sore back (he's about 6.5kg at the moment).

I had a close carrier and loved it!! Used it daily from when Harrison was a newborn until he was 9 months was ace he slept so well in it and I could do anything everything.

I have an ergo that I still use lots Harrison sleeps in it, Jacob goes in it at times too.
