Help me with my back carries please!

[Youremindmeofthebabe]

hello! I have a lovely new (to me) woven wrap. I love it, but am attempting back carries. I have been playing with a back cross carry, but it sits quite low for Ds, who is only 4 months. Is there a type of carry that sits higher up that anyone knows the name of so I can look on you tube for videos? Or, should I jut stick to front carries for now. He's rather heavy already... Thanks!

I got a Karrimor for a quid on ebay (seriously). Used with DS from about 4/5m onwards with great success. He LOVES it. He's now 9.5kg so I find my centre of balance is too high and sometimes feel unstable when climbing over fences ambling along country lanes. I now use the ergo baby carrier on my back - it sits lower, but he's taller now. But DH still uses the Karrimor. The rain cover is crap though ime.

I have found some of the videos here useful - www.youtube.com/user/CosyBabyHappyMommy

Thank you LeBFG- i kind of meant some carries I could do with the woven, but its always good to have info about other carriers- i think DP would like a buckle one. Thanks for replying.

Thanks Rubinosa, i shall check that out.

Hi Loopy! I hoped that you would reply! It's lovely to speak to you again, and hope it's going well with all 4? And DH of course! Thank you for that information, I did see the Jordan back carry when I was looking for how to do a Santa toss somewhere, so might go with that. It's a 7(!) so a lot of excess in the carries that I've tried. When I lose this extra stone I have hanging around and perfect my back ties I shall have to invest in a new shorter sling! Oh, the trauma.. I had a look over on NM on someone elses recommendation, but only looked at the FSOT, which confuddled me a bit! Easily done! I'll pop over.

What's SHBC? I am ignorant...

Thank you for posting! I went to the sling library this week to learn how to back carry and failed miserably nut really want to so am armed with a wrap and the dydimos instruction video to carry on practicing. Will try the links!

It's a bebina. Very comfy but quite thick. I think. I haven't got much to compare it to! It's lovely and colourful.

Ooh! I really want to wave to YRMOTB & Loopy .

I love babywearing too! We had a stretchy wrap for DD when she was teeny (on my front) & have just bought a BECO Butterfly & a Manduca so we can get out n about in the summer. She loves being on our backs. Would LOVE to get a woven wrap but still find it a bit confusing - a little less so after reading this so might end up joining you both. Hope you're both well

Oh wow! lovely to see you... As loopy says, it's so nice to be here with babies! . Get a woven, they are brilliant! I have loved my moby, but ds is far too big now!
