I have a Moby Wrap, a Hotslings, and a BabyTrekker. Each has its own usefulness, but I could never figure out how to nurse in them.
Lately, as DS become more clingy, I found myself longing a mei tai, because I couldn’t figure out how to do back carry properly in any of my carriers neither.
So I bought myself a Kozy Carrier. It’s nothing fancy, just a mei tai. My mom, who only knew mei tai, showed me how to do back carry with it. My hands are finally free to do chores!
Then I bought a Beco Butterfly 2 in Carnival print. It’s pretty and comfortable–so much chicer (is that a word?) than the 10-year-old BabyTrekker I received for free. The downside of the Beco is it becomes personal: I don’t want anyone else to mess with my strap settings. Everyone else can choose between the Kozy and the BabyTrekker!
