Jennifer,

What brand do you use? I never rule things out and am willing to try
whatever. Thanks.

Bridgit,

I'm a big believer in carriers and I use one exclusively with my 30+ lb
son. After trying numerous carriers, I've come to the conclusion that
much like strollers, there isn't really one brand or model that will
work for everyone and there are a LOT of choices out there. Of course it
isn't for everyone but for me, a carrier is much less burdensome than a
stroller. It gives me the freedom to go wherever I want without worrying
about folding or steps.

My son who is an active walker loves his carrier. I wouldn't call it
restrictive. He is at the level of conversation which he loves. He can
move his legs and arms. And I can hold hands with my husband if I want
and never worry about guiding the stroller. I have found a carrier I
love that is comfortable and causes no pain.

Definitely to each his own! Whatever works for individual parents is
great. just my perspective on how a carrier works for me.  On Apr 24,
