I've searched the archive but can't seem to find a concrete pro/con between these.
My stats:
*I have a 4 mo old, around 15 lbs, so she is heavy
*My baby is very curious and refuses to sit in her car seat carrier - I end up carrying her either on my shoulder or facing out when at the grocery store, etc. (help, i need my hands back!)
*I would prefer to carry my baby in an ergonomically correct position, 'sitting' vs 'dangling', hence I've nixed the baby trekker (even though it can face out, which I know my baby likes)
*I'm about average height - 5'5" - and wear a sz 14 and am on the busty side
*My back bothers me some, although I have no actual back 'problem', it's just from carrying her, lol :)
*We used a baby bjorn for a while, which actually worked well for us - she seemed to prefer it to the fleece pouch I have and I could carry her in it for hours, but now it kills my neck/shoulders/back!
Based on that info, do you think that one carrier might be a better choice over the other? Or is it purely a matter of taste and I just need to try them to see?
TIA!
