[Review] The most long lasting Baby Carrier

Baby Bjorn
My first impression of the brand was good, just because I like the name. The carrier it self does refer to  simple and sleek aesthetic as it sounds.  Thanks to my friend J. for this lovely gift.

It is very light and stylish looking, even my husband loves using it (Some Asian men are shy to use a baby carrier.) It is also easy to put on even when you are alone. The little one always seems comfortable to fall asleep during my window shopping.  It is very useful until my girl turned 8 month old. My shoulder could not bear her weight anymore and it was constantly in pain and as stiff as a rock.

Not the product's fault though...

Life time: 2mos-8mos

Mama-way pouch carrier.
During the period I was still excited to shop with my new status as a mom. I bought it on impulse. To explain what an impulsive shopper I was, I actually did bought two at the second purchase and post it to J. in the states for her second baby. The baby pouch is not as useful as people online described. And It's too hard to get the sizes right. It is not adjustable at all and hard to get the right size as the babies outgrow too fast I bought the first one and it was way to small.( Well, I have to admit I thought I was still an 'S', at least a 'Medium', but I was wrong. )  And the second time, it finally fit but can only last the baby for 2 months before I had to put it aside. It was good at the beginning as it saves a lot of strength from the shoulder as it Maybe I just don't know how to use it the right way. Or I should have got their other design that comes with the adjustable strap.

Life time: 10mos-12mos.


Cotton Candy X carrier

The X shape carrier was another impulse during my treasure hunt. The price was very affordable as I found it from taobao But it's too painful on the shoulder. It didn't even last a week. I had to seal it in the storage bag in tears...to be fair though, a friend of mine had been using it for almost two years. Her boy is a lot bigger than my girl in terms of size and weight. It might just because I'm too weak.

Life time: 1 week.

Ergo Baby

The most practical and long lasting baby carrier. If knew about this one earlier, I wouldn't have wasted so much money in different products. The special cushion for infants can also be purchased separately. Having this means having all. You don't need another one. I have tried mountain claiming with it and it was effortless to carry my girl up and down. She loves to be called as little monkey on my back. When she grew to 22 months, she started to dislike it due to the restriction of her movements, however it was only temporary. Over a period of time, when she started to understand more of what I say, she was okay to sit in it when I didn't take the stroller out.

The latest photo of demonstration is here while my daughter is 2 year and 5 month old.

Life time: 14mos- current
