[blparent] Carriers?

Tue Apr 26 20:43:49 UTC 2011

Hi everyone,
Leann is right, the butterfly cannot be used with a hip carry. But the ergo
can. I have gotten my baby in to the butterfly a few times now and he seems
to really like it. I love that you don't hneed a bulky insert for infants.
It's great.

The butterfly is the one I'm speaking of. My friend out here purchased one
and we sat down to watch the DVD and figure out how to use it. Supposedly,
from what I understand, you can carry children on your hip.

I totally get doing what you got to do. When I traveled to Puerto Rico for
my grandfather's funeral, I kept Erik strapped to me from the security gate
onward--even throughout the flight.It kept him calm and happy and I could
carry my luggage.

Thanks,
LM
