Help me with baby carriers please
I'm debating on what sort of baby carrier to get and could really do with some advice and suggestions
I used a baby Bjorn for DS but I had to stop using it at about 10 months due to weight, it was just too uncomfortable. I've since learned that they are considered bad for baby from a posture perspective.
So I'm tossing up between a Beco / Ergo http://www.becobabycarrier.com/
http://store.ergobaby.com/
OR
a sling like this http://www.babaslings.com/index.php
What I'm after is
- best comfort for bub and of course safety
- longevity, I'd like to use it to at least a year
- ideally easy to breast feed in
- ease of use
- comfort or me, I plan to use it often
I like the beco/ergo because it seems structurally sound, and seems like it would be comfortable to wear. Though I'm unsure on the babies comfort, seems to be very baby Bjorn like. There isn't the range of position as there is with a sling. And I'm not certain about the ease of breast feeding.
I like the sling because of the range of positioning options for baby, i love the many different wys bby can lie and sit, and the ease of breast feeding. Though I'm unsure of the safety, they look like baby will just fall out! And I'm not sure on comfort for me as the wearer, and then I've heard stuff about how a babies spine should always be straight and rigid, which it wouldn't be in a sling
I'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions, if you have any experience, or any alternate options please please share. The carrier is going to be one of my more important purchases so I want to get it right.
