What can you say about a Baby Carrier? Do you use it?  

We haven't bought a carrier for our baby and I think we won't be buying one. I have seen people use baby carriers and I don't feel comfortable about it because it is like you are just taking a bag with you. I think our babies should be taken care with a lot of effort not just for convenience or something like that. I am not against people who use carriers but I think it would be safer for me to just carried my baby as is.

My baby has two carriers... but only used one ones... and that was when it was raining and i had to buy her diapers... there is only the two of us in the apartment... so i have no one to ask to do that errand... and i surely cannot leave her alone in the apartment because she was only like 19 months old during that time...

She doesn't really like it... i guess that is because that was the first time... and she is already big to be using a carrier...

I never used them, I have four kids and I always had a carrier for them when they were babies but I just never felt comfortable in using it. I think I put each of them in one just one time and that was it I would much rather push a pushchair instead.

Hi! I have watched this at Unang Hirit before, they were promoting their products like baby carriers but modified . My favorite would be the Reversible Nursing Bib, mothers can nurse their babies discreetly with this product. But it's already sold out when i checked it coz i wanna avail it for my sister, she's nursing her baby. Anyways, you might want to check their other products like the leakproof and stay dry cloth diapers and diaper bags. Since you enjoy carrying your baby but he doesnt fit for his carrier anymore, this one is a thumbs up - baby pouches and the limited Ring Slings. You can check out their fashionable baby items in their online store at multiply, their user id is indigomanila Pictures, instructions on how to use it and prices at the site. I think some of their items are on sale now

I only used a baby carrier for two of my five children.
I used a front one for my first baby at the time we lived in a third floor flat and the lift was constantly breaking down. So it got very tiring carrying his pushchair up and down three flights of stairs. I found it much easier to just put him in the baby carrier.
I also used one with my daughter but not that often, most of the time, if i was only going a short distance i would carry her.

My oldest son is 4 1/2 years old. I bought a baby carrier for him when he was a baby but i never used it. My youngest child is almost three months old and at first i didnt buy a baby carrier because i didnt think i would use it. But when he was about a month old i went and bought one and it is a life saver. My son usually will not let anyone hold him but me and he wants me to hold him all the time. If it werent for the carrier i would never get anything done. I love it.

I've used both the hotsling and the ergo. I still use the ergo with my 20 month old. I started out using the hotsling as a pouch sling when he was a new born and smaller (he was 8 weeks premature) because it offered more stability and safety for him based on his size and weight. When he grew more and was able to sit in the ergo better without using the infant insert for a side carry I used the frog carry both front and back (legs splayed across like a frog).

I went bush camping with both carriers almost two years ago and went hiking (we're talking moderate to heavy trails here) with both the hotsling and ergo strapped on. I have my two youngest slung in their carriers (second youngest at the time was 2 yrs old and 35 to 37 lbs) while hiking up and down hills and climbing.

I think carriers can be very useful. They allow you to have your hands free while doing house chores and other tasks all the while being able to tend to your baby when baby needs you and keeping baby close, feeling safe and feeling comforted and secure. It's a proven fact that for preemies kanga care (keeping baby close with skin to skin contact) can help a preemie grow, regulate temperature better, regulate heart rate and breathing better and over all helps them to heal much better than not using kanga care methods.

I loved my hotsling (I passed it along to another mother as a gift) and I still love my ergo. It comes in handy!

I used to own one for my baby but I only used it once. My ex bf had big tummy if he use it to carry our baby....it wont ever fit him. I prefer carrying my baby that use that one. My baby almost fell on that thing.

Yea we had the Baby Bjorn which lets him dangle from the front. It was ok because i could go and get other things done around the house when he wasn't totally wound up. But truthfully i didn't use it near as much as i thought i would. I would have much rather had one of the carriers that you use for hiking or something like that. I've brought him to concerts and other things like that but when he was in the front with the Baby Bjorn it was kind of a pain in the but after a while.

hello mitziverde:-) i am single and doesn't have a baby yet but i have lots of pamangkins (nephews and nieces) that i love to carry around. i like looking at moms with bab carriers, they seem so cute and convenient but if i had a bay, i don't think i will be comfortable with a baby carrier, i will probably be worried that the baby will slip or something hehe.
