Baby Carrier Rave!
Thanks to Calla's recommendation, I ordered this hotsling . I used it to tour museums and walk around on a weekend trip. I LOVED it. Best part: you can use it from newborn through 3 years of age. I carried one of my 23lb 11 month olds for hours and no sore arms, neck or back. It's genius!

Re: Baby Carrier Rave!
Looks good...I think I might get one.
If you are in-between sizes...should you order the smaller or bigger size?

Re: Baby Carrier Rave!
I'm so glad you liked it!!
If in between sizes you can try to shrink it or bring it to a tailor to be stiched in a little. A little tight is better than a little loose, but too tight is no good either!
My favorite part about the hotsling was how little space it takes up in a diaper bag -- so you can just leave it in there all the time.

Re: Baby Carrier Rave!
they have a wide variety on Amazon - that's where I purchased it from. I needed it in a pinch and did 2 day shipping very inexpensively.
Thanks again, Calla!

Are you allowed to try them on in the store do you know? I was thinking of getting one because I hate my carrier thing I have. It kills my back and is sooo uncomfy.

If it's in the packaging mine was in, you're able to open and repackage it easily.

Cool. I wonder what kind of patterns they have. I should go check it out this weekend. I want to look at their montage of strollers as well. Does BBB ever have coupons? If so, how do you get on their mailing list?

Re: Baby Carrier Rave!
I'm a huge fan of carriers.
Does the baby face in or out? DD only likes to face out or to be on my hip.

I think they had like 15 or something there. And it did look like you could take them out and try them on.
I think when my bjorn starts to be cumbersome I will look into one of these.

I totally think you can use for your 2 year old and will come in handy for a new baby too.
The baby can sit on your hip - that's the only way it will allow you to carry a baby older than 8 months.
BBB has coupons - just ask to be put on their mailing list in the store or write an email to them from their website.

Re: Baby Carrier Rave!
So I went today to BBB and bought a hotsling. It feels too big though, so I need to take it back and get a size 2. I carried her in the front carrying position for about 10 minutes. She seemed to low though. Then I tried the hip and it was too loose, even with it folder over the shoulder. Now my neck is killing me!! Maybe it's because it wasn't positioned correctly or something. I'm going to try the size 2 and see how that works. I bought the reversible and actually don't like it because when you do the hip carry and when you fold it over, you can see the other color and it looks weird to me.
