caboo carrier

[Dory85]

I'm so sorry for another one of these threads but does the caboo carrier support the baby properly or is it a crotch dangler? Its so hard to tell from pictures!

It is like a stretchy wrap and supports the natural curve of the newborn. It is just a bit more structured so you don't have to tie yourself. I have one and I like it for my ten week old. I would have got a stretchy wrap to tie myself but I got a Caboo for free so use that. It will not support the baby for a long time though (like up to toddlerhood) since it is stretchy, so I plan to swicth to a mei tai when she gets too big for it. She is 11 weeks now and comfy in it at about 12 lbs.

so I didn't answer the question! No they are not a crotch dangler. You can either froggy legs inside like this:

or have legs out seated like this:

It's not a crotch dangler. You spread the fabric out so it reaches knee to knee. It's a lovely carrier but I stopped using mine at about 4 months as my LO used to arch her back and try to pop out of it. They say they can be used for toddlers but you will probably find your LO too heavy for the stretchy material, long before they are a toddler.
I'll definitely be using it again when I have another baby, if that helps at all!
