Hiking / long walks with baby

Following because I'm struggling to find a good baby carrier for my 1st baby too😂x

I use the ergobaby omni carrier and I love it. I had an ergobaby original with my first and also liked that x

@Samantha is it the omni breeze or dream? Or are they the same thing 😂 xx

@Maariyah it’s actually the omni 360, I just had to go check 😂 there’s so many different kinds that it is so confusing 😂 xx

I would check to see if you have a sling library near you so you can try out different carrier options and see what you like best before making a purchase as they are all so expensive and different people have different preferences and needs. You can usually rent out carriers as well. I have an ergobaby Omni 360 that I bought when pregnant with my first. I like that it's really quick and easy to get baby in and it's very supportive when carrying baby on my front. However, I would probably make a different choice now, one of the reasons I bought it was to have more options to carry and I realized I didn't like to world face and I find this carrier extremely uncomfy when back carrying so it wasn't fit for purpose for me. Also he completely outgrew it by 18 months so it didn't have the longevity I was hoping for. I've found the Facebook page 'baby wearing UK' really helpful for info and advice.

I use the momcozy carrier and I love it!

I asked this on another group and was recommended a sling library! I went to a 121 with them today and it was so helpful. They asked my requirements, budget etc and then showed me options and I got to try them out. I’ve come away with a Beco 8 to trial for a few weeks. Really easy to get on by yourself, can inwards and outwards face and back carry (once old enough) and it’s really affordable. Only £70 on Amazon or discounted if you have the baby list!x

I have the babybjorn and I go out on long walks / hikes & it’s fab ! Really comfortable material for you & the baby once they’re in!i Also got mine of vinted for £25 as they sell for 100+ xxx

Momcozy is good. You can wear it yourself with no help. No unnecessary straps and buckles.

I have the baby bjorn harmony, got great back support and have had my little one in it for three hours with no dramas. He is probably near a stone now. Works for my husband aswell.
