Baby Carriers

I am obsessed with baby carriers. I have a bad back and when I had my son I was always in search of the perfect carrier. I had even given up on baby wearing for a few months after he was born. I tried many and FINALLY found one I was content with. The Beco Butterfly. I loved the carrier. I still love it, but I discovered a carrier called the Boba today and I'm not feeling so content anymore. I want a carrier that goes higher up in the back for my son. He is ALWAYS struggling. One day I had him on my back and my daughter in the Moby and a saleslady was so worried he was just going to flip over the top. While I was feeling like he wasn't going to, I did not like the struggling feeling.

I love my Beco for my daughter. Just stick her in the infant insert and I can wear her for hours. Same with the Moby. I need to remind myself how awesome the Beco is and how it will still work for my son. I feel like the Beco doesn't get much love. Everyone is all about the Ergo. I can't say I know too much about the Ergo. I only wore it once, but in my experience the Beco was better for my back. I liked that I didn't need a waist extension with the Beco (yep I'm a big girl). Plus it comes with the infant insert. No shelling out an extra $30 on top of the $110+. I also feel like the Beco insert is safer, but that's just my feeling. I like that the Beco is good for "new" carriers like myself. I don't have to worry about my son falling out if I unstrap the bottom. Which I do sometimes to distribute weight. I also like the ease of putting him on my back. No worrying he's going to fall. With the Boba I would have to learn to do all that. While the Beco isn't perfect I could sing it's praises all night. It got me back into baby wearing and I love carrying each and both of my children in it.

So while the Boba would be nice for my son I don't have endless money to go out and buy one. So I MUST stay content with my Beco!
