I did have time though to try on a mate's BabyBjorn carrier. Although he said they didn't use it too much. I think I'll be using it quite a lot, well just until I've grafted a handle on to the babies back for easy carrying !
Seriously though I could put the carrier on easily and do everything up with one hand and it felt comfy and secure
Not sure how easy wit will be with a wriggling baby in there, but I guess I'll find out !.
Looking at this brand which looks good they range from £50 to £120, although they all look very similar.
Anyone know any differences ?
Also are the other brands any good.
I'll probably head to John Lewis and try them all out when I have some free time.
This weekend though I'm flying off to Sicily to go see my sister and my new niece who was born a few weeks ago. Time for some practice lifting and throwing the baby around. At least I can see how I manage with some easy tasks and that gives me a few months to work out if I need to adapt more.
Will let you know how it goes.
We got one of Mothercare's own and within a week we went back and spent the extra money on the babybjorn. Far more comfortable and the weight distribution was much better, I would recommend a good, branded one, it's worth the extra money because if you get a cheaper one you'll end up spending the money you saved on a chiropractor!!
ReplyDeleteHi Rob, great to read all your tips and how you're getting on, please keep the advice coming! My boyfriend (another Rob) had a stroke just 2 months ago and our first baby is due in the next 2 months. He hasn't got any functional movement in his right arm yet, so it's great to hear how it can be done! Please keep the blogs coming!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah,
DeleteI need to add more to this blog. Time flies since Jake was born. Got a few posts in my head I need to sit down and write. Congratulations btw :)
I hope some of my posts help. If there is anything else, or questions you both have then just ask.
