wow wasn’t expecting this many responses!
Wife uses a stokke carrier (I think it’s a baby bjorn style thing) that she got off gumtree but I prefer using the wrap – it’s faff to try and put on when you’re outside (it’s quite long so it’s hard to stop bits trailing on the ground) but once it’s on it’s pretty straightforward to adjust. It packs down nice and small relative to a other carriers too. I just like how snug she feels in it, and it feels less obtrusive, I can get on with doing stuff like making the tea whilst and see what I’m doing.
sirrormj – not sure how thick the boba wraps are, I’ve been using a hana wrap, I’ve never really had any issue with overheating with it (apart from when worn over a jumper in a warm room), it seems pretty breathable and thin. I guess some people run hotter than others. Regarding looks I know they’re a bit strange on a guy but I’m inclined not to GAS – it’s a nice way to spend time with my daughter!
I’ve been to see our local sling library which is what got me onto the stretchy wraps, I just figured I’d ask on here as I figured you lot would be more aligned with my hobbies!
We bought a secondhand Osprey Poco before she was born but we’re waiting for her to be big enough to use it. Also I’ve pinched my nephew’s Bumbo too! She goes in it for a few mins at a time but struggles to keep upright after much longer
