why did i just buy a new carrier???

Question for the pros

when did you start to wear LO on your back?? I now walk sideways as Rosalie wants to watch

and the ringsling kills my back so cant wear that one now

Sorry for the fugly photo but I thought it was funny

Also I properly almost died walking up a hill like this

^

That's some good exercise!

I started at 6 months because I have a very large baby, so I'd say at around 20lbs. They get a cooler view from the back once they hit that age. Getting a bit more independent and want to look at the world rather than our familiar mug...

Nice pics ladies! :thumbsup:

Jessabella, what did you get? One of my new SSCs arrived!

[flat pic to actually show it properly...]

It's a Robyn's Nest Birdie Buckle, with a solarveil panel [good for the summer...I'm thinking ahead!]

Wow Blob! Cool pic

I first tried Finley on my back at about 5 months, but have only recently started back carrying on a regular basis at about 8 months. I found it a bit uncomfortable for a while...not sure if it was just that I wasn't adjusting the carrier properly/wrapping well enough/my muscles needed to acclimatise to a different carry...or a combination of the above, who knows.

I still do front carries as well but not so much these days...he's about 19lb and it gets awkward trying to do things around him!

that carrier ^ is soooo gorgeous.

i wear frank on my back now, i presume its fine, he seems just as supported as on the front and just as happy

Blob, i'm not remotely surprised you almost died

K went on my back at 5 months, I didn't trust his head control before that

AFC, another enviable carrier you have there!
I have been carrying Lou on my back since about 7 months. He seems to enjoy it

I did manage to try a back carry in the wrap at the weekend, with help from my Mom, it didn't go so well, lots of tutting from the mother and it seemed to sag after an hour or so, but it was REALLY comfy for Louie and me

Ergo wearers: how tight do you wear the carrier when your LO is on the back? Ivy just seems so far down when I put her on my back I'm wondering if I'm wearing it too loose? I can't tighten the chest straps any more than they are!

Haha, my mum used to get all grabby watching me put LO on my back as well

Sounds like a good start though!
