[blparent] Carriers?

[Leanne Merren]

I never watched the DVD, but from what I know of it, I don't see how it 
would go on your hip.  I couldn't imagine feeling comfortable with the child 
on my hip in busy places anyway, but that's just me.

>> Hey LM,
>> Which Beco are you speaking of?  I ask because I have the Butterfly II,

>> front and back though and I absolutely love it.  I still carry Kaelyn in 
>> it and she's 3 and weighs 35 lbs.  I used it when I flew alone with her 
>> when she was around 2 years old, and we had a long way to go on the train 
>> from the airport to the hotel.  I put the hood on it while I was wearing 
>> it on the front, and I could let her recline in it and take a nap on the 
>> train, and I sat comfortably without her putting strain on my back.  The 
>> ride was almost an hour long.  I was impressed that I could still let her 
>> sleep in a carrier at 2 years old.  I probably looked pretty funny with 
>> her on my front, a backpack diaper bag on my back and pulling a rolly 
>> suitcase. :-)  But ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

>> I also had a wrap when Kaelyn was small but it was the Ultimate Wrap from 
>> BRU.  I loved carrying her in that, and I could even nurse her in it and 
>> keep my hands free to do other things.  With 2 other kids that helped a 
>> lot.
