baby carrier...

[bumbly]

which is better?

Tomy Freestyle Click n Go

or Baby Bjorn Active Baby Carrier

..or other for that matter?

anyone have experience of these?

;)

ive not heard of that one but i had bjorn with my dd and i was ok with that. but they do a sport version i think which has more support in the back i think?!

I used the Mothercare 3-in-1.
Used it till dd was 14 months

looks like youll get lots of support with that too! which you need if your going to use it alot

Tomy Freestyle is very nasty, the clip bit digs into your tummy and hurts like hell, you have to hold lo's bottom the whole time so that you don't pass out. SIL got a wonderful sling that does all sorts of things and really doesn't hurt.

My vote would go for a Wilkinet too but I never had a Baby Bjorn to compare with. I really like ring or puch slings for a tiny baby.

they are both rubbish compared to wrap slings, ring slings and pouch slings. search these in the 'products' threads in MN and google to see what i mean.

dont know about the other one but i had the bjorn. i didnt get one with back support which i think would have been a good idea. that being said we use it ALL the time, take 6mo DS to the market and face him outwards nad he kicks and squeals at everyone around. wonderful fun for him.

I had a Tomy and hated it as it was so unconfortable. I loved my Baby Bjorn.

I had the Bjorn for DS1 - and hardly used it - just never 'worked' for me. Got the Tomy Freestyle for DS3 and love it..

Coorie - a fleece pouch sling - dead easy to use, DS (1 month old) loves it!

Don't want to sound too negative, but i found my back really wasn't up to a pouch at all, could only use it for about 10 minutes, dh used it about 2 times and so did I.

I had a bjorn which was kindly lent and quite comfortable, although so glad i didn't fork out for one. Yes try ebay for a saving.
