I actually love it. It doesn't go on the hips, it goes on your waist. Tight. The weight of your child will make it droop a little, but it's not uncomfortable. The eco straps makes it comfy because the weight is transferred to your shoulders and upper back in addition to your lower back. I still use it for my 2.5 year old when we travel. You can place it above your hip on the side or in front. But I like it in front. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-nari-hip-hugger-or-another-ff-carrier#post-1900782 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 14:30:31 +0000 littlebug 1900782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Beco Gemini is good for FF. I've also used it for hip carries. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-nari-hip-hugger-or-another-ff-carrier#post-1900756 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 14:19:32 +0000 catomd00 1900756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like my beco Gemini for ff and a ring sling for up and down/quick trips. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-nari-hip-hugger-or-another-ff-carrier#post-1900744 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 14:11:54 +0000 Arden 1900744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mauxie: I don't really FF but I've heard pretty good things about the ergo 360 and if you already love the ergo it might be a good option. </p> <p>My LO also likes to see, so I use either a hip carry or a very high back carry. For hip carries I use a ring sling or woven wrap (you can hip carry in an ergo but I don't find it comfortable) and for high back carries I use a woven wrap or a mei tai. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-nari-hip-hugger-or-another-ff-carrier#post-1900740 Tue, 14 Oct 2014 14:09:27 +0000 mauxie 1900740@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: I did try the hip carry once with DD but since she was happy just facing me so I didn't bother trying it again. Thanks for the suggestion! I always forget about that option. I'll try it out with DS.</p> <p>@Arden: Okay~ skipping the nari! I have a moby wrap but am so used to the ergo now that I find it hard to do, if that makes sense.. I guess I need to just practice and will also try out the ergo on my hip :) </p> <p>Do you have any FF suggestions? I kind of cringe inside when I see babies FF but DS will twist soooo much in the ergo to look around.. I think he just really likes that view. We also try just sitting him in the stroller but he definitely prefers to be held. I do use the back carry option and wear him a little higher on my waist so he can look out, but am considering getting something that has a FF option for when he is extra curious..</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-nari-hip-hugger-or-another-ff-carrier#post-1899643 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 17:51:30 +0000 Arden 1899643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The reviews I've heard are not great, that it's super uncomfortable. </p> <p>For FF I'd use a ring sling with the Buddha carry.</p> <p>But the nari is a hip carry, not a front carry, and you can hip carry with a ring sling, mei tai, woven wrap, lots of carriers. I'd recommend a ring sling for quick up and down and comfort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-nari-hip-hugger-or-another-ff-carrier#post-1899632 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 17:37:46 +0000 jetsa 1899632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is it a carrier? I've never heard of it but it looks to me like it's just a seat to help you support LO. I just can't see it being comfortable but I've never tried one.<br /> Have you tried your ergo in the hip carry method? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-nari-hip-hugger-or-another-ff-carrier#post-1899618 Mon, 13 Oct 2014 17:13:25 +0000 mauxie 1899618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone have the baby nari hip seat? With or without the extra eco strap??</p> <p>DS likes my regular ergo but I'm considering getting another carrier so he can face out at times. I'd rather he have a "seat" so he isn't dangling. I've heard mixed reviews on the ergo 360 so am looking into the nari hip seat. I figure I can use this with DD as well since she likes to be picked up and put down constantly when we're out..</p> <p>Anyone have experience with the nari? THanks!! :) </p>
