talk to me about moby wrap

I really wanted to like it but didn't, especially with a very young baby. I was constantly worried that she didn't have enough space between her chin and chest and wasn't breathing properly. I used it on occasion once she was older but found it to be awkward to put on, especially standing in a parking lot since the ends would always touch the ground when I was putting it on. I liked my Beco much better but it's totally different.

I have an ego and aa Moby wrap as well as a sling.

I keep the sling in the car for emergencies but I like to use the ergo for errands and the Moby around the house.

With Ds, I got the most use out of the ergo. Used until year and a half. Thought I would use back carry for him too but didn't.

With Dd, who is 2 months, I use all3.

But if I need to use just one, ergo is what I would buy.

I have the ergo. I have been using regularly since dd was four months old. She is now nearly a year and a half old and it still works well for us. Dd hated the infant insert- I think partially it was because she would get very hot.

DS is 16 months and I still use the ergo at times when he wants to be held but I need to get things done. I wear him like a backpack.

Hated the moby. Liked the infantino mei tai. Ergo was good too but my dinosaur arms have trouble buckling it.

I also have a Tula that I haven't used yet.

I've had a few and like my ergo best. It's great for naps around the house when they're having a rough day or two (or week or month!), I use it for the zoo and other places dd would want to see what's going on, with my second it's been a life saver since I can wear the baby and keep dd1 in the cart. I've just started trying the back carry more since I can do more cooking and cleaning with her there and she's happy to watch everything.

thanks everyone!

My little guy only likes the wrap. I have a KTan, it's great and so easy to use. I have a lillebaby carrier and he hates it.

Re: talk to me about your baby carrier (for wearing)

Ergo! I keep it in the car. Great for supermarket, park, etc. Any quick trips you don't/can't use a stroller. I also like it for when they NEED to nap and won't and we are out.

Re: talk to me about your baby carrier (for wearing)

I bought a boba wrap which I think is good for when they are still tiny and we use it around the house.

I also got the boba 4g. I love it but my back isn't used to baby wearing so for now I'm just wearing it for small periods of time around the house (DS is 6 weeks). He seems to really love being worn and falls right to sleep every time so I'm hoping I can make more of an effort to do it this time around. DS1 never seemed to be a fan of being worn so I never really pushed it.

Ergo or boba 4g. I had the boba 3G and loved it. I was going to go with the ergo which I have used and loved but the boba had a slightly higher back so I went with that. I had 3 other carriers that I hated and gave them away. I used the boba until my son was about 2.5. Then he just didn't want to be in it anymore.

Re: talk to me about your baby carrier (for wearing)

I used a Tula since my DS was around 6 or 7 months or so and still use it at 2 years old. I seriously can't imagine how I'd deal without one. We use it all the time- my DH wears him as well, even more than I do.

I have a Chimparoo Trek. It is so soft and comfy. LO loves it and so do I. I use it for fast trips to target or the grocery store. I also bring it to festivals and that sort of thing if he gets restless in the stroller.
