I can get this REALLY cheap, but I don't know if it's worth it. I know I want to get a really good baby carrier, but I am unsure of what style will work best for us.
Info on us: me - 5'6" plus size with large chest. DH is 6'1" and thin. With our son (8.5 years ago) we used the baby bjorn and I bought it with the longer straps. It worked fine, but it was HEAVY carrying him for very long (at birth he was 10 lbs 9 ounces and he was ALWAYS off the charts in height and weight). We tried the NOJO sling, DH liked it and I HATED it. I don't think any ring sling will work for us. I'm due 5/1/05 with another boy and I just have a FEELING he'll be HUGE too. When the baby is 2-3 months old we will be making a European vacation (DH is from Europe) so we will bring our bassinet stroller (MBUS with carrycot), but I also want a comfortable carrier too for the long walks on HOT days too...
SO.... I'm drawn to the wrap slings (like the Ultimate Baby Wrap) and carriers like the ergo or the ABCs, but I'm not sure....
Any experiences to share with me?
