In a previous post http://myamsterdamlogue.blogspot.nl/2012/05/baby-loves-babybjorn.html I described my purchase of the famous babybjorn carrier and how much my baby loved it.
Well, three months and 2 kgs later the story has changed. While my baby still loves to be carried around in babybjorn where he gets a higher perspective on things, my back has been complaining from the weight it has to carry around. The result was that I had stopped carrying Mr Baby around for more than ten minutes distances.
However, my will for baby wearing hasn't died yet, in fact it has increased. I looked into buying these wonderful long cloth wraps to carry my baby in, but I concluded that these are not meant for lazy bones like me. It takes a good amount of time to put these on. S would surely never try them on, and I didn't want to spend so much money on a carrier that only I can use.
So then I was introduced to the Ergo. It was suggested when I had bought babybjorn, but at that time I refused it because it doesn't allow the baby to face outwards. After using babybjorn I came to realise that with the baby facing outward the back of the parent is much more strained, thus, these carriers like Ergo, Boba and Manduca only have the option of baby facing inward.
They are meant for older babies, weighing from 7 kgs upto 18, which basically means you can even carry you 3 year old in them if you want. Out of these 3 I chose to go with the Ergo because it has been around for a long time and has a lot of accessories to offer (not that I have bought any of these yet). There is absolutely no price difference, but I did get the Ergo slightly cheaper from www.amazon.co.uk
For newborns and babies less than 6 month old Ergo has come up with an infant carry insert. These carriers also give you the option of carrying your baby in three positions - the classic front position, hip carry position, or the back pack position, ideal for toddlers.
When I received my Ergo I tried it on with Mr Baby. It is a completely different feel from babybjorn. To me Ergo felt like I was naturally holding my baby, just with some extra support. I also tried the hip carry position, which I enjoyed even more.
Now the only issue was, will the baby enjoy it. Its safe to say that he loves it. He cannot face outwards, but he can still see side ways. He can look at mama, and if he is sleepy he can doze off and I can cover his face with the little attached hood.
I love baby wearing and I also feel that my baby is much happier and relaxed in the carrier than in his buggy.
Hence, Ergo was a good purchase!
