Hello all,
I want a new carrier for DD and am looking for some help! We're going on a trip in a few months, and I'll need a better carrier for her, as I'll be wearing her most of the time. Defintely want even support on each shoulder, and something good for my back. I currently have a Maya ring sling and a blue celery wrap. DD is now 6 months, 16.5lbs, 27" (and my back is already getting sore!). I'd like something to last a while, and something that will definitely be good in hot weather in 3 months (average 9 month old), and something good for front carrying for at least the vacation, but also something that will work for bundling up in the winter. I'm 5'9" and hoping to be back to 135lbs soon. DH is 6'3", 230lbs. Ideally, I'd like something that will do both of us, be good for bopping around town, standing with her, walking/hiking with her, and isn't too hot. DD is a furnace, I still haven't lost my pregnancy heat.
I've read a lot on the Ergo, but I think I need something that I can use both outward and inward facing (on the front), and it would be nice to have something easy for her to sleep in too! (I think I'm asking for too much!). Not sure a Baby Bjorn or Belle Baby or Snuggly is right either, but the simplicity/hiking-style does appeal to DH. DD is squirmy and curious, so to be honest, I do more carring of her than putting her in a carrier, but that will need to change soon! Any advice welcomed.
