Catbird Baby Pikkolo Soft Structured Baby Carrier —
For my first baby, I used the Baby Bjorn and a sling. They worked just fine until my baby got to be around 15 pounds, then I had to stop wearing her or suffer through the back pain. After that, I learned that the Baby Bjorn is not good for a baby's spine anyways. I sold my Bjorn and began my search for the perfect carrier for baby #2. I used the Moby Wrap when #2 was a newborn and really liked it, but as he got heavier, I found the material too stretchy to be supportive. So... I got a mei tai. This was ok, but the straps were so long, it was hard to get it on without the straps dragging on the ground. I borrowed an Ergo, but that seemed kind of bulky and my baby decided that he preferred to face forward, which he couldn't do in the Ergo. After doing some more research, I bought a Pikkolo and have been sooooooo happy with it!! It is mei tai inspired (without the long straps) and is quite similar to the Baby Bjorn, except much more comfortable for both mom and baby! It has memory foam in the shoulder straps, and an adjustable waist so you can make the body narrower to allow infants to ride legs-out or older babies to face forward. My baby is now over 16 pounds and the Pikkolo is still super comfortable. I've even tried it out with my 3 year old in a back carry and it was suprisingly comfortable!! It's also super convenient to get on and off and very easy to make adjustments! I LOVE it and am selling all my other carriers!! =)
