You can always rent a stroller in the park, if it gets to be too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674802 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:57:55 +0000 anonysquire 674802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: haha, we travel too much! It keeps us sane :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674797 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:55:58 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 674797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Monkula: Totally do-able!</p> <p>My now 2.5 year old was really light, but we could wear her all day until she was about 13 months (then she really wanted to walk). I still wear her for hikes.</p> <p>An infant can easily be worn all day.</p> <p>Maybe bring an umbrella stroller to give yourself a break, but our girls would only sleep in babywearing while we were out and about. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674718 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:36:48 +0000 sorrycharlie 674718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I personally couldn't, because I get warm really easily - never mind in Disney. I'm usually sweating bullets and I haven't even been with a baby yet, lol. We are going to Disney in May, LO will be 8 months and we're bringing the city mini - and the ergo just for the airport! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674663 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:22:40 +0000 Foodnerd81 674663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't actually baby worn yet but I hear some kids just like it a lot more than others, too, which you won't know until you try. I agree with others on having both with you, and getting a good supportive carrier like a beco or ergo. I also hear a back carry is better for long days like that than a front carry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674660 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:21:57 +0000 yoursilverlining 674660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd bring/rent a stroller just for all the baby gear. I can comfortably babywear LO in a sling for several hours, but not haul her and diaper bag and camera and stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674654 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:20:33 +0000 immabeetoo 674654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: figured you were on top of it and that's awesome! I'm jealous of all your travel plans! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674633 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:17:25 +0000 anonysquire 674633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: thanks! Our caseworker said as long as we let them know 2 weeks before we leave there would be no problem getting approval from the judge. We of course would let them know before 2 weeks and if for some reason the kids couldn't gone would find respite :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674590 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:09:07 +0000 immabeetoo 674590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I think you're talking about fostering right?? Just a heads up, I know depending on the parental situation you can't take foster kids out of state or need court approval. I'm sure you could use respite care if you made plans and kids couldn't go though! I'm no expert and you probably already know that but I figured I'd mention it since DH and I were just talking about it.</p> <p>I cannot imagine baby wearing all day let alone carrying all the gear for a day so if I were you I'd plan on a stroller and an ergo! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674579 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:06:02 +0000 3littlebees 674579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: It will probably be way too hot in July to baby wear for that long! I would definitely encourage you to take the carrier and a stroller. We have an annual pass to Disneyland and go at least once a month. My almost 4 year old still sits in the stroller...he will walk and take breaks in the stroller. As a previous poster stated, a stroller also comes in handy to store your belongings in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674578 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 17:05:54 +0000 anonysquire 674578@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674553 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:59:02 +0000 mrsjazz 674553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: I guess it depends on how old/heavy the baby is. I've actually carried 2 carriers and a stroller with me on an outing before! One was similar to a Moby but less fabric so it fit in the diaper bag, the other I kept in the bucket of the stroller.</p> <p>But if you find a carrier that you find really comfortable, I think you can bypass bringing both. You should probably have one with a hood since you'll be in the sun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674550 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:58:08 +0000 hilsy85 674550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: most umbrella strollers can't be used until 6 months or so, unless they recline. So you could use a snap and go, which is a frame that the car seat snaps into. But honestly I can't imagine bing outside all day with an infant anywhere, especially not in the hot sun at a crowded park...just something to think about! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674549 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:57:52 +0000 tysonja 674549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: i think for whole day trips kids up to 3 yrs old still love the stroller! esp if there is a lot of walking! :)<br /> it's also useful for toting around bags/shopping/food when not in use by the little person :)</p> <p>i do love babywearing, but it does get achy after a few hours, and can be hot, even when the weather is cool :). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674545 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:56:08 +0000 tysonja 674545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>for a whole day out i think i would ideally love to have the carrier (ergo or beco) and the stroller :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674543 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:55:37 +0000 anonysquire 674543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I'm not sure what a umbrella stroller or snap and go is. How old is too old for a stroller? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674542 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:55:25 +0000 Running Elley 674542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh gosh I definitely couldn't! E is almost 20 pounds. Just wearing him for a nap in the Ergo at the zoo the other day hurt my back! I'd take a stroller too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674536 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:54:26 +0000 hilsy85 674536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Well depending on how old the baby is you might not be able to use an umbrella stroller...but you could use a snap and go in that case! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674533 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:52:42 +0000 anonysquire 674533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: would that be too neurotic if I brought an ergo, a soft carrier and a stroller? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674530 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:49:39 +0000 mrsjazz 674530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: Depends on the size of the baby. When my LO was smaller I would wear her all day, but she was tiny and it only started bothering me after a long day. Now that she's almost 1, I would need breaks, and I'm sure she would, too. </p> <p>I'd make sure you have a carrier that both you and DH find comfortable so you can trade off. For older/heavier babies, back carrying with an ergonomic carrier would be best...for me it would have to be a soft-structured carrier, but I would also bring a light umbrella stroller. My LO likes both. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674512 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:40:26 +0000 anonysquire 674512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Monkula: not sure how old the child would be. Just kind of planning a bit for a "maybe".</p> <p>I want to baby wear but I have no experience with it, so do you think I would totally fail at it? We're going to Disneyland in july and for Christmas and we may or may not have an infant with us. Anyways I'm just trying to figure out what would be best! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674506 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 16:37:23 +0000 Mrs. Twine 674506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Weagle; that's what I was thinking. An amusement park for a little one might get a little much sometimes and a carrier is just more comforting than a stroller in those situations. Little one might love the busyness, or might be scared, or love some things and need breaks from others. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674380 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:48:35 +0000 Weagle 674380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would take the carrier and stroller. LO really likes both, but the carrier is especially necessary for when she's overstimulated. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674367 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:46:09 +0000 ladyfingers 674367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO and I get sweaty for 20 minutes in target. Can't imagine all day at an amusement park! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674365 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:45:45 +0000 Mrs. Twine 674365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks; I was starting to wonder if I was the only one! I wore my (then) 4-year-old at Disney. I think it's totally do-able. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674361 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:44:56 +0000 Beehive 674361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stroller would be much easier. We just went on a trip with our LO where we couldn't use the stroller (too many bridges/stairs everywhere), and DH and I alternated wearing him, so we each wore him for probably 4 hours or so each day. That was plenty! Our shoulders were definitely aching by the end of the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674344 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:42:02 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 674344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I babywore all day even at home. Our first really needed that and it's great for bonding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674324 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:36:39 +0000 pl0508 674324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO only weighs 12 lbs and there is no way! Stroller for sure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-wearing-all-day#post-674298 Thu, 28 Mar 2013 15:27:52 +0000 sarac 674298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hell to the no. I had to stop baby wearing when she hit about 15 pounds, I just didn't have the strength. Now I have far more, but I can't comfortably baby wear for more than a few hours. </p>
