Help me before my brain melts. I'm losing the plot trying to find the right baby carrier for me and ds. He absolutely hated the baby bjorn, I think he found it too restricting around his body and shoulders. He is only 10 weeks so would he be too small for the Ergo? or should I try the hugabub? I think he might quite like to look outwards soon. Is the ergo good for a fidgety into everything baby? Does it allow the baby to look around easily? Or how about the hugabub? Help!

I loved my babytrekker. Carried dd on my front, then facing out, then on my back from about 5 or 6 months, right up til now. She's two, and I can still use it for my three year old. Use it regularly and you get stronger as they grow, so they don;t feel much heavier now than they did a year ago. it's on www.babytrekker.com and I got mine because a mner recommended it!!

I absolutely loved and still love my huggababy. I cant reccomend it enough.
I carried dd in it from birth to 16 weeks, and still carry her now sometimes - she is 33 months and counting

I carry DS (17 months) everyday in our
Ergo . It's fab but does take a bit of practice at first. I know people who carry their 3 year olds in Ergos so you should be able to use it for a while. You can wear the baby on your front, back or hip but DS always goes on my back. For a young baby like yours, you can get a 'newborn insert' so make the carrier better for a little one.

I also have a
Kangaroo Korner Adjustable Fleece Pouch which is great for a small baby - I often use it with my 16 week old mindee but the Ergo is far more comfy for longer periods. When I get the Ergo out, DS jumps up and down shouting 'up, up, up!'
