[blparent] Carrying a baby while out and about

[Tammy, Paul and Colyn]

Hi,

I have a carrier called baby bjorn that I hate, but use when it's necessary. 
I hopefully will be getting a sling next week after I do some research in to 
which one would be the best one for me.  If anybody has any suggestions, 
please email me and share information.  I'd love to hear other people's 
experiences with them.  I Always thought my baby would fell out of a sling, 
or the sling would not be as good as my carrier, but I've heard good things 
from people.  We also have a travel system that we use all the time because 
you can pull the stroller and the car seat clips in to it making it 
unnecessary to carry the heavy carseat while using a cane which is nearly 
impossible with all the other things you have to carry.  It is legal for you 
to take cabs without a car seat here, but I never do because I don't feel 
safe just carrying the baby without something protecting him just in case I 
can't for whatever reason.
