My LO still isn't very heavy though, so not sure how it holds up to a heavier child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-1#post-866856 Wed, 19 Jun 2013 07:19:14 +0000 Mrs. Twine 866856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Navy_Mommy; Want to be my new best friend and partner in crime on the babywearing front? ;) We think alike. I was just about to pop in and say that a ring sling might not be the best if you want back carries to be a reasonable option. But they are great for easy hip carries! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-1#post-865968 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:09:40 +0000 Navy_Mommy 865968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you want to do hip AND back carries down the road I would recommend a woven wrap. You CAN do a ring sling on your back but I find it terribly uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-1#post-865966 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 16:09:09 +0000 lolabee 865966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle: @pelikila: wonderful, thanks ladies!

Any suggestions on brand(s)? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-1#post-865698 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:16:13 +0000 allison 865698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just ordered a ring sling for hip carries. I've used a Seven Sling, and I like it, too. I'd like it more if it was a little bit bigger.</p> <p>FWIW, I've tried the Ergo in hip carry mode a couple times, and I hated it! The front strap was all up on my neck and it was very uncomfortable. If I were you, I wouldn't buy an Ergo just for the hip carry option. But I do love my Ergo for front carry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-1#post-865681 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 14:09:21 +0000 Weagle 865681@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a ring sling for hip carries. Love it. It's very supportive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-1#post-865382 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:42:36 +0000 lolabee 865382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was initially thinking ring sling but read that it wasn't much support?! Oh boy I'm not sure how I'll make a decision. We have a Baby Bjorn, do you think the Ergo is too similar to purchase? The Beco, from pics does look like it may be a bit odd for a hip carry. Will look into the hotsling. Thanks!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-1#post-865361 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:36:02 +0000 Mrs. Twine 865361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I want to be able to do a hip and back carry, I love having a wrap around. My favorites are the Wrapsody Baby ones (which are also inexpensive, as wraps go!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-1#post-865353 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:32:24 +0000 mrskc 865353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Beco with a hip carry is odd for me. I bought a ring sling to hip carry and so far I love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-1#post-865347 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:29:53 +0000 Katrocap 865347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an Ergo. Right now I only front carry but plan to do hip carry in the future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-1#post-865344 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:29:26 +0000 mrsjazz 865344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't do a hip carry, but I know the Beco Gemini has a hip carry (in addition to front, facing out, and back). I carry my 14-month-old in a Tula toddler carrier. I still mostly carry her in the front carry facing me, the Tula allows for her legs to wrap around me so that they don't hit against my legs and can also be worn on the back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-1#post-865328 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:24:47 +0000 yoursilverlining 865328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We hip carry in a HotSling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-1#post-865322 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:22:13 +0000 T.H.O.U. 865322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The Ergo has a hip carry. I've tried it but I prefer just to wear here on the front but a bit off centered. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-1#post-865310 Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:16:58 +0000 lolabee 865310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Curious what baby wearers like for a hip carry? I would like to buy something that I can use for a hip and back carry as LO gets older. He's getting to heavy to lug around all the time. Would love to hear some suggestions! </p>
