Sometimes the Universe is Looking out for you...

I was having a really hard time selling my ergo because of it being pink. I went back to try the ergo sport and compared it to my ergo. The fabric makes a big difference, but after a week of using the beco butterfly doing a back carry in any of them is easy now which was the major reason to buy something else. It is like beco trained me to be able to use the ergo for a back carry. I was having a few problems with the beco butterfly because of my short torso which made it so Babbi could lean out farther and disturb my center of gravity which was horrible for the front carry not so bad for the back carry. The ergo is great for front carry except for the bulky fabric, but I shouldn't be doing front carry anymore since my little one is 26lbs.

I took my ergo and beco to the chiropractor and she told me to get rid of the beco because it would be bad for my shoulders. It pulled them back and down which could lead to problems and nerve damage over time. Luckil, Baby Earth has a great return policy and they are in town. The ergo performance has less padded straps and I'm now wondering if it would be a great 2nd carrier. I also ordered a boba carrier which is geared towards toddlers and is supposed to be highly adjustable and carry much like the ergo, but lighter and better for taller kids since Babbi has a long torso it may work better. We will see. Meanwhile, I am glad I didn't sell my ergo and the pink color has grown on me. I get lots of compliments on it though no one wanted to buy it.
