[blparent] Catbird baby carrier

[Judy Jones]

I'm like you.

Back in the day, I used a snuggly, but once the babies could sit up, we went 
to the frame carrier,  and the only reason our girls graduated from that was 
that they became tall enough to stand up in the carrier when placed on the 
floor.  They both Loooooooooved it.  With that, I was able to carry them 
comfortably.  When back packing in college 40 pounds was comfortable for me 
in a frame pack, and these girls were under that for sure.

Subject: [blparent] Catbird baby carrier

Message When I was looking to buy a carrier there were so many it was very 
hard to make a choice.  I like the catbird because it is easy to put on, 
there are 5 carrying possitions, and very supportive for my back. I can wear 
my babies up to a few hours. The two cons are that there is no good head 
support for a newborn baby. Also, when the baby gets above 15 pounds, if you 
want more back support,  need to purchase an additional belt.  which you 
have to lace through the carrierr.
This is because the belt that goes around your back that comes with the 
original carrier is more narrow and the additional  belt makes it thicker.

At the time when I was looking for a carrier the other brand that I really 
liked wasbeco. There is also a new carrier on the market that is the only 
soft structure carrier that has a good head support for newborns it is 
called manduka. It is very pricey but like I said a baby carrier is my most 
important piece of baby equipment. After my last baby three months ago, I 
got a gift certificate and I used it toward a carrier called baby k tan . 
This is pretty much a pre-wrapped wrapp. I got this because you can use the 
material from wrapping as a head support  which I really needed to have my 
hands completely free. The problem with this rap is that it is not  so 
supportive  above  15 pounds although the company says that you can wear it 
up to 35 pounds.  This rep is cool because it is  already wrapped for you 
and and it is much more supportive than a sling because it goes over both 
shoulders. The material is also very soft. You can also wear your  baby inn 
8  positions although, like I said I really am using it more in the 
beginning for the head support.
As you can see, I am very passionate about carriers. I don't know how anyone 
can live without one. But that's just me
If i   would've heard of the manduka  carrier before I bought my cat bird I 
probably would've bought that. But it wasn't on the market in the US
