I bought a Bjorn Mini (or something) and it worked well when LO was a tiny newborn but from it maxed out at about 5kg. It doesn’t wrap around waist/lower back but just hangs off of upper back and therefore it is agony* after about ten minutes.

I feel pretty desperate to get a better one so that I can properly walk the dog in nearby fields which aren’t pram appropriate. (If the dog doesn’t get a good run soon I’ll be selling him to the first bidder 😉)

My main requirements are back support. But hopefully it goes without saying that it needs to be safe. He’s not quite sitting up yet but almost there.

*agony is a slight exaggeration but it’s not great

(I did look on mumsnet review pages but none of them seem to really mention back support)

We wish we'd bought a tula earlier (same company as ergobaby)

I still have DS in there most days for dog walking at 2.2 and 15 kg (toddler size one now)

Both DH and I have dodgy backs but find it fairly comfortable up there
