So I've been avoiding purchasing an Ergo or any other fancy high price carrier mainly because of the price and also because Carter is not really into being carried any other way but in our arms. Which used to be cool, but he's freakin heavy now! So I broke down and bought a carrier. The gal at
HappyBottomus in KC probably thought I was crazy but she was still very helpful. If anyone is in the Overland Park area I suggest you check them out. I, eventually after trying on a few with Carter (who protested the entire time) chose the
Beco Butterfly 2. It's really comfortable and Carter actually like it! Here's the color I chose :

Awesome! Have you tried back carrying? Nora thinks it's the Bee's Knees! Kind of like a less exhaustive piggy back ride!
ReplyDeleteI've got an Ergo and I'm still not in love with it. Which is disappointing. I'm using it for Elliott now, I haven't tried putting Delaney in it in awhile.
ReplyDeleteI love that Beco!
