OH YA!!!

I've worn all my kids quite extensively - indoors and out. Much to the shagrin of my maternal elders yet with the support of my partner!! Doing dishes, cooking, dancing, shopping, hiking - you name it! Heck I even had body parts waxed while carrying a babe! As they have grown out of baby hood they have become very confident, little or no sepration anxiety, super independant and yet close to me - ie not stifled acting - Yep, I have suffered with my back and right hip! But it was worth it. I did begin to pay more attention to posture though. The best baby carriers I have enjoyed is a wonderful traditional feeling wrap with about 6 feet of cloth - my hubby calls it "the dance" to get it wrapped in a specific way, and the next best thing was the Ergo Baby Carrier. Can be snuggly type in front, a hip (which I didn't use it for) and a backpack. I have tried many other things and those were my faves. Enjoy!!

yup, us too. eventually, dishes had to get done .. dinner had to be made.

i wish in the very early days i had used a moby .. she would have loved it, but she was just as snug & happy in the fleece hotsling.

if anything, it helped her sleep ... she wouldn't nap solo, so wearing her was a lifesaver.

Yes, I wore both kids when doing stuff around the house. They liked it. They sleep well. No back problems. Ergo carrier was the most comfy for me.

i love my ergo!

he alwys hated the sling....i keep trying

we have used and continue to use ring sling, fitted sling, fitted water slings (we both have these because we both like to swim or shower with her but are not the same size), ergo, and moby-d carriers... for chores i like the moby or the fitted sling. my partner likes the ergo and uses it almost exclusively. he LOVES his ergo.

i never got the beco because there were problems with the ordering process due to a recall on the butterfly so i have opted to wait on my own more structured carrier...well, that and it is HOT here in austin. right now we use the peanut shell and the water sling (both fitted) most often as they are so easy and so light.
