I got a Yamo when second son was born and found it very comfortable to carry him, on my front at first, and then on my back. I still use this carrier as it is easy to take with me when he starts off walking and then wants to be carried. I also use it for my 4.5 year old son when his legs get tired on a longer walk when little brother is in the stroller.

It is light, portable, surprisingly comfortable. It allowed my son to take a nap while delayed at an airport, snuggled up against me.

We do have a baby carrier with a frame but it gets little use these days being too big and bulky to take places.

Yamo make soft structured carriers. Like a Mei Tai but with buckles and they are brilliant. I have been carrying my 11mths son (20 odd pounds) around. So much easier than a pushchair and it's a lovely colour red. My son loves it as he gets to see what's going on.

About a squillion times better than a baby bjorn.
