We dostill put DD in the back carry, though, and she's almost 27 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-carry-with-soft-carriers-such-as-ergo#post-281433 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:41:13 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 281433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We do back carry a lot, but hip carry always feels awkward to me, and I think to the girls! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-carry-with-soft-carriers-such-as-ergo#post-281411 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 11:30:10 +0000 purrpletulips 281411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never tried the hip carry, the how to intimidated me too much. We took DD at 18m to Disney World and used the Ergo the entire time, left our stroller in the room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-carry-with-soft-carriers-such-as-ergo#post-281245 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 09:41:16 +0000 chopsuey 281245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: we've back carried a few times :) usually when we're out Lo sits in the umbrella stroller or she walks. Miss the days when she wasn't mobile! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-carry-with-soft-carriers-such-as-ergo#post-281160 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 08:26:09 +0000 Downward Dog 281160@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never tried the hip carry but I often use the back carry. It's much more comfortable for me, and better for stuff like washing dishes. We've got it down now, I just lean forward and swing my LO around to the back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-carry-with-soft-carriers-such-as-ergo#post-281151 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 08:12:18 +0000 T.H.O.U. 281151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Have you tried the back carry? Its not our favorite but it makes do sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-carry-with-soft-carriers-such-as-ergo#post-281145 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 08:05:31 +0000 chopsuey 281145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hehe we stopped putting Lo in the ergo, but sometimes I'm tempted to make DH carry her around in it. I would, but I have a huge belly now!<br /> We've never tried side carrying..! Maybe one day </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-carry-with-soft-carriers-such-as-ergo#post-281099 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 07:06:31 +0000 looch 281099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still put my 20 month old in the Ergo when he's being extremely clingy, never thought I'd need to do it, but you do what you have to, you know?</p> <p>I tried the hip carry, but I don't like it because it strains my spine too much and I already have a bit of a curve there that I need to avoid aggravating. On my other hip, my right hand isn't free, so it's not as useful for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hip-carry-with-soft-carriers-such-as-ergo#post-281089 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 06:55:19 +0000 T.H.O.U. 281089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you use a hip carrier with a soft carrier (besides a sling)? I tried to watch the youtube videos for a hip carry with my Ergo and it felt awkward with my LO in it. Like the strap was right by her face. </p> <p>My back was out this weekend and she just wanted to be held. In order to get some stuff done around the house I just carried her around in the Ergo and she was happy as could be! Who would have thought a 1 year old who loves to run and play would be happy being carried around by mom! AP Win! </p>
