Sofia is now 19 months old and I still carry her a lot.
That means that although I use the pushchair, the ergo carrier is always at hand.
Until now it was the perfect solution when she was tired of the pushchair and needed more closeness. But since she has started to walk, she wants to quickly decide when she wants to walk and when she wants to be carried. And the procedure with the ergo carrier is too slow for her, so she also refuses to sit in the ergo. What she prefers is to be carried one-armed, but this is a pain and not very comfortable for me.
So I have done a bit of a research to find a sling that is quickly put on and easy to take Sofia in and out. Of course there are millions of options, but I have decided to try this one:
The SUPPORi baby sling
This sling can be used for children that can sit upright and weight up to 14/15 kg. It is easily put on, is lightweight, does not need much space when stowed away, is washable and made out of a fabric that prevents sweating. In my eyes perfect if you want to carry your child in the summer or even at the beach. You don’t even have to bother if it gets wet.
The only negative point I can see at the moment is that it is not adjustable, so depending on your and your children’s height, you have to choose the correct sling size. This means that it is not probable that your partner is going to need the same size, but you can still buy a second one. Especially if you choose the pink one, ha!
I am waiting to receive my SUPPORi baby sling (and have been moderate with the colour: cream) and will let you know if it works!
If you are interested, you can find them here if you live in Switzerland.
