Or at least going into BBB and trying them on. We're looking for something both DH and I can use. </p> <p>@PinkElephant: Thanks -- hadn't heard of those. And the BabyBjorn One and Ergo 360 are both supposed to be better than the traditional "crotch danglers" so that's why I'd be okay with either of them too. </p> <p>@Pumuckl: LO isn't scheduled to arrive until July so we're just researching gear for our registry. We already have a wrap that I'll use when LO is tiny. I bet DH would be interested in the backpack style carrier too, especially for taking on hikes. Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-360-v-babybjorn-one#post-1600936 Wed, 30 Apr 2014 04:32:58 +0000 Pumuckl 1600936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How old is your LO?<br /> We didn't use a carrier that could forward face for DH but instead got a backpack style carrier (an Osprey Poco). We started using it once LO was able to sit when put in a sitting position - so at around 6m. DH and LO love it. Maybe this would be an option too? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-360-v-babybjorn-one#post-1600798 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 22:10:45 +0000 PinkElephant 1600798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Two other carriers that are supposed to be great and safer for forward facing than traditional Bjorn carriers (in terms of hip development) are iAngel and Pognae. They're similar styles, both with a hipseat component. I don't own one because we have wayyyy too many carriers already, but am tempted to buy for baby #2 - my friends who have them love them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-360-v-babybjorn-one#post-1600609 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 20:03:47 +0000 pastemoo 1600609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@NorCalWayfarer: I also got the Beco Gemini... can you try any, or find your local babywearing group and rent from their lending library before investing&gt; </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-360-v-babybjorn-one#post-1600590 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 19:52:58 +0000 Greentea 1600590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am an ergo person!

We just always have her facing in. She looks around to the side and up at me, and it's more comfortable for me. But she can face forward too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-360-v-babybjorn-one#post-1600454 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 18:38:12 +0000 GrapeCrush 1600454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Love my beco Gemini!

I wouldn't want to forward face a tiny baby because their head's too floppy, and the Gemini gives you a lot of flexibility because it can be used inward facing, forward facing, hip carry or back carry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-360-v-babybjorn-one#post-1600319 Tue, 29 Apr 2014 16:58:32 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1600319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsbookworm: Good point -- it did just come out.</p> <p>@junebugmama: Thanks! Love his reviews! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-360-v-babybjorn-one#post-1593899 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 19:32:21 +0000 mrsbookworm 1593899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think the Ergo 360 just came out last week, so I don't know how many people will have experience with it. Wellroundedny did a whole series about using it in NYC last week. It might give you some perspective... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-360-v-babybjorn-one#post-1593897 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 19:31:08 +0000 Foodnerd81 1593897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't tried either of those, but my Beco Gemini can face forward. I have only tried it a couple of times and didn't really like it, but having that option is what swayed me to the Beco over the Ergo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-360-v-babybjorn-one#post-1593890 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 19:24:39 +0000 junebugmama 1593890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>There was a review by one of favorite baby gurus, "The Baby Guy". He said the ergo 360, so that's why I'm suggestion it. Everything he's recommended I've really loved. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ergo-360-v-babybjorn-one#post-1593871 Fri, 25 Apr 2014 19:09:13 +0000 NorCalWayfarer 1593871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH really wants a forward facing carrier and it looks like both BabyBjorn (One) and Ergo (360) make a carrier that has this option while being more hip friendly than other options. I'm not looking to get into a debate about whether forward carrying is healthy or not -- DH really wants to be able to front-carry LO and I'm okay with it. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with both the Ergo 360 and the BabyBjorn One and would recommend one over the other and why? Thanks! </p>
