Scootababy Baby Carrier

Having used a moby wrap, a ring sling and a mei tai over the past 2 years I thought I would never find anything as comfortable as my babyhawk for carrying my toddler and new baby in.

I came across the scootababy while looking for reviews on buggyboards (thats mumsnet for you!) as my toddler is in the up/down/up/down stage and while I couldn't carry him and push the buggy it was too hard to keep tieing him in the mei tai for only 5 min until he decided to walk again.

They are quite expensive (I got mine from slumber-roo which had a discount and was delivered within 48 hours!) but I will say it is worth it.

I've been using it most of the day over the past 2 weeks. It takes about 10seconds to get my toddler in and out and about 30s for the baby. It is only supposed to be used after 5months or when they can hold their head up independently but my 3month old has near perfect head control so I feel quite safe doing so.

It is extremely comfortable and I'm considering getting another one to keep in the car!

We've got the newer high-back Scootababy, had it since DS was around 1 year old and he's now 2: I'd really recommend it. I use it for going to/from nursery (as it can be packed in my rucksack after), for outings using public transport or where he walks but may need to be carried on the return journey. I've also got mei tais (Babyhawk and Maya Tie), but I never got the hang of putting him on my back plus I use a rucksack for carrying nappies/food/drinks etc (which helps balance out the weight!). DH uses it too. Great, practical carrier.

This is absolutely our most used and most loved carrier - no contest, Scootababy is the winner!!

Comparing our favourites was difficult as we've used lots including Beco, Babyhawk, Rockin Baby (ring sling & pouch) and they're all great and have their uses BUT ... Scootababy came out on top because it's just soooo useful day-to-day for nipping to the shops and enjoying cosy cuddles and a natter along the way!

If your hip if your little one's favourite place to sit, then the Scootababy is for you!

I read the reviews on here-which I wish I had done for my first sling, and I opted for the Scootababy.

I gave it's first outing today and I have to say it was a huge improvement on the Prexmax. I need to get the hang of fine tuning the fit but even so it was very comfy.

Quite simply the only baby carrier to use. Have had it since 8 months and son now 20 months. He is very tall 94cms and I commute into London with him every day on the tube and in airports makes shifting about very easy.

Had one day with out and never again! Easy to use, easy to clean, adaptable for both parents, friends grand parents and son loves it.
