We used the baby bjorn after 4 weeks and then I bought an ergo because of the crotch dangling. We didn't like the ergo though because the straps would never stay on our shoulders (both me and DH!). My mom got me a Pognae and we absolutely love it so we sold the ergo.</p> <p>@pastemoo: while the baby bjorn isn't ideal, it's still safe to use (or else you wouldn't see them everywhere!). We never used it for longer than a 1-1.5 hrs.. I would recommend a moby for a newborn and they're relatively inexpensive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here/page/2#post-181517 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 08:11:34 +0000 loveisstrange 181517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, so I've been doing some research. </p> <p>Ergo or Beco Butterfly 2? Which one did you like better? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here/page/2#post-181499 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 07:59:35 +0000 purrpletulips 181499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Used our Moby wrap with DD when she was tiny then moved to an Ergo with infant insert, now we mainly just use the Ergo. I've developed a small stash for use with our next: Moby, a ring sling I made, Maya Wrap, Hotsling pouch, French pouch sling (basically a pouch with ribbons at the shoulder to make it somewhat adjustable), and the Ergo. I am looking for a reasonably prices Mei Tei as well. I plan on doing a lot of baby wearing when #2 arrives since it will be easier to keep up with DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here/page/2#post-181478 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 07:37:57 +0000 pelikila 181478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When my son was little I loved wearing him in my HAVA ring sling. Now that he is over 20 pounds I prefer to wear him in my Boba 3G. I waffled between the Beco Butterfly and the Boba and I like the foot/leg support the Boba has for toddlers. Both my husband and I use the Boba and we love it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here/page/2#post-181477 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 07:36:50 +0000 Chastenet 181477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO still isn't born, so haven't worn him/her yet...But I did buy a baby K'tan for when he/she arrives. Have any of you tried that one? I read great reviews and liked its versatility and the fact that there isn't tying involved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here/page/2#post-181467 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 07:23:30 +0000 pastemoo 181467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone know of modifications to the baby bjorn to make it safer? I only have that (a gift) and a pouch sling (also no good for a newborn) and I really need some hands free time. Any recommendations? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here/page/2#post-181164 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 19:24:38 +0000 meredithNYC 181164@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: Ah, okay, that's fair enough! I just have a VERY stubborn English bulldog who I can't imagine will ever get the hang of obediently walking by the side of the stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here/page/2#post-181163 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 19:23:38 +0000 T.H.O.U. 181163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love my ERGO! We have the green performance. I also like the strap covers and now want some from etsy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here/page/2#post-181161 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 19:22:42 +0000 Navy_Mommy 181161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: I have 2 dogs and I usually shower right after our walk so I like being able to leave him in the stroller once we get home to keep napping. Plus, I'm talking power walking so I don't want to sweat all over the carrier in the California heat! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here/page/2#post-181148 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 19:03:09 +0000 meredithNYC 181148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Okay, that's reassuring. Now I just need to start doing some practice runs with the baby in the Ergo minus the dog for now. One thing at a time and all that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here/page/2#post-181132 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 18:49:54 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 181132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: We have one in the ergo and one in the stroller while walking the dog... We used to just do Ergo, no stroller. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here/page/2#post-181117 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 18:36:04 +0000 meredithNYC 181117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: I was thinking about using the Ergo while walking my dog. Do you find the stroller easier? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here/page/2#post-181094 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 18:17:52 +0000 Arden 181094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to be one! Plan on it. We shall see. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here/page/2#post-181081 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 18:11:56 +0000 chopsuey 181081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a moby and REALLY wanted to wear my baby 24/7. When she was born, she ALWAYS stretched her legs out. It was almost impossible to get her in the moby because her knees didn't want to bend. She used to stretch out when she was in my belly too. </p> <p>We started wearing her in the ergo when she got older. :) Still carry her around in the Ergo from time to time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here/page/2#post-181077 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 18:03:36 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 181077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone else floored by the cost of the Girasol! Otherwise it looks awesome. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here/page/2#post-181071 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 17:47:06 +0000 Mrsbells 181071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have ergo sport with the infant insert and I like the ergo because it allows the baby to sit especially when she is older and heavier. I never liked the look of babies dangling in babybjorn carriers but I was given one as a gift a few weeks ago and I used it at the store and my baby loved it... I really wasnt expecting her to like it but she loved it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here#post-181066 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 17:41:26 +0000 Navy_Mommy 181066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: babywearing + vacuuming = instant nap. Babywearing + loading the dishwasher = instant burp. </p> <p>Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here#post-181043 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 17:14:42 +0000 MsMini 181043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear Sawyer from time to time, mostly for show walks and stuff, we alternate between stroller and wearing, he might actually like the stroller a bit more at the moment. It has been hot/humid here, and I think he gets too hot when I wear him outside, when we are inside with the AC I do wear him to get stuff done around the house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here#post-181041 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 17:11:36 +0000 Navy_Mommy 181041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: if he's only two weeks his legs won't dangle yet because the "relaxed" position for a two week old is still scrunched up. As he gets older his legs will dangle. Most babywearing pages and swaps consider bjorns to be unsafe and don't allow users to buy or sell them on their pages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here#post-181033 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:59:14 +0000 pastemoo 181033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: His legs don't dangle like that when I put him in there--not sure why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here#post-181021 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:42:33 +0000 loveisstrange 181021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg, what are all these wraps you guys are talking about? I really need to do some more research. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here#post-181016 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:34:53 +0000 Mrs. Pen 181016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: I asked DH for a girasol for Mothers Day - and I didn't get one :( so after mothers day, I asked if I could buy one and he said not unless I sold something to get the money on my own :( boo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here#post-181015 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:33:18 +0000 mrsjazz 181015@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love Paxbaby!</p> <p>I want to wear LO more but she's not that cool with it, I hope she starts to like it more. She hates the Moby (and it's too hot). She's not a fan of the Maya wrap and the only one she will tolerate is our Beco Gemini. </p> <p>I'm thinking of getting a Tula wrap, does anyone have one? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here#post-181012 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:32:14 +0000 Navy_Mommy 181012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Coco Bee: any Girasol cream weft is basically the wrap of my dreams! And I actually emailed with Paxbaby Jillian while i was in the hospital in labor about our custom cover, lol. She's awesome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here#post-181011 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:30:27 +0000 Navy_Mommy 181011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: Bjorns really aren't the best thing for babies; they're "crotch-danglers." The image in my OP explains why they aren't good... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here#post-181010 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:29:29 +0000 Mrs. Pen 181010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a babywearer! however, Cobi does not like it. I don't know what's wrong with him! He likes the moby, but now that he's 12 lbs, it's getting uncomfortable for me. I liked the moby in the beginning, he took many of his newborn naps. But now that he's bigger it hurts my back and he's too high up.</p> <p>He despises the Beco Gemini - even though I love the beco. It's so supportive and doesn't hurt me at all. I used it all of last summer with the little boy i nanny. i'm hoping that Cobi grows into it.</p> <p>So happy to see another admirer of Paxbaby! She is so dang cool. I follow her on FB and her posts are great. I reallly REALLY want a girasol!! ahh sooo bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here#post-181008 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:27:32 +0000 pastemoo 181008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I &lt;3 my baby bjorn carrier, but can't figure out my sevenslings sling... LO is only 2 weeks, so I haven't been out much... or home much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here#post-180993 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:10:36 +0000 matador84 180993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjacks I couldn't remember where I read about them! All the reviews and boards seem to blend together these days. I will probably get one...I like they way they look way better. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-other-babywearers-here#post-180986 Wed, 06 Jun 2012 16:03:21 +0000 loveisstrange 180986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: Zippy Jr. was 10lbs 8oz at birth and is 13lbs 2oz at 2 months. She's 90th for weight and 100th for length. lol</p> <p>@MegWag: ;) Of course they are. </p>
