Baby Carrier

I cannot express how awesome my Ergo is. If you love to travel, if you get fed up being stuck in crowds, if you long for the freedom of two hands and if you're accustomed to travelling light then get yourself an Ergo!

We've done a number of flights with our bub, when he was young he just slept, now that he's older we throw him on the back and then we've both got two hands for passports, luggage etc and he's entertained looking around and feeling part of the action. When he gets tired on the plane, just strap him in the front position, hood up and walk the isles once or twice and he's fast asleep. The hood gives some important sensory deprivation which you want for active, alert babies in particular. 

My little man is also an exceedingly lazy child. At almost 19mths he makes no effort whatsoever to hold on when I'm carrying him. He's just a big fat, smiley lug of a kid - who I adore, but who can easily ruin my back and arm muscles carrying anywhere for any period of time. I'm pretty strong and fit too. The Ergo side carry position means I'm still hands free, he can still sit back like he's lord & master and my back isn't ruined.  

I could naff on for longer, but I've tried other major carriers. All the others kids grow out of quickly and without a hip belt they WILL pull on your neck and shoulders.  

BTW -  Some might question the "10" for easy to use. A small investment in time (maybe a few hours of playing with your kid) to master the back position will reward you for 3 or more years. I call that easy.
