We used to use one of those babybjorn baby carriers to take DS out for walks in the field (the type of walks that my mamas and papas mpx chassis "doesn't do"!!!!). Now he is bigger (10.5kg) and cannot fit in the carrier we have. Does anyone know or other things we can carry him in as he cannot quite walk yet!

Hi, I have a bushbaby carrier,(framed back pack) and an ergo and I carry ds (20 months and 13kg) everywhere in the ergo,On my back now, but on my front when he was smaller, and find the bush baby heavy and uncomfortable.
The ergo is very comfortable,unless youre very petite (size 6-8)apparently. They can take a while to get used to, to be able to put it on your back with baby in it, but once their in it's great.
I've written so much about it recently , I think I should be on commission,
by the way freerange kids also sell them.
