Hi,
I have a ten-week-old son and have been using an Ellaroo Mei Tai carrier that I really like. But for some reason I just fancy getting another one so there's variety if I want it.
I've read the info online about the different types but still can't make up my mind.
Basically, wraps look good but I think they're a best buy for birth onwards (would definitely get one next time) as they're so ideal when babies are small and I'm thinking that it'd be a pain to have another with even longer straps trailing around. Something simple to put on would be nice. Not totally opposed though.
I like the idea of ring slings/babasling but I've had a troublesome lower back in the last couple of weeks and suspect they could aggravate it so unless I can get a bargain on ebay or a cheap babasling I don't think they're a good buy for me.
Looked at babybjorns but they're expensive new and hard to get a good idea of quality of new ones on ebay as there are so many, plus people on here don't tend to be a fan.
Ideally, I'd like to get something DH could use as well. He's almost six foot and I'm a shortie.
So what's left over? Are there any carriers after that which people would recommend? I'm open to looking at specific brands as that makes it easier to google/find on ebay. I do keep whining about price but it's my birthday next month so I can always get one then - in which case I definitely need to get a fair amount of use for three/four months and beyond!
Sorry for the long message and thanks if you get this far.
