How are the mother care 2 /3 position carriers for comfort of babies ? I had a Baby Bjorn and i bought one of the MC one's also, it was terrible, so uncomfortable for me to wear, it really hurt my back and not easy to put on. I recommend the Baby Bjorn.

Thanks greenish , I am very much interested in taking baby carriers but I am concern regarding the support to baby's spine specially when they cannot sit unaided If your budget stretches far enough...go for the Ergo. You will not be disappointed. I love that the one carrier fits all babies, goes from front to hip to back and supports their head if they fall asleep. If you buy the canvas front pouch (as an extra) you can fit everything you need in the carrier and have both hands free at all times. :D You can buy the Ergo online at http://www.babysouk.com (and I think I read they will deliver within a day or so)

I have the Boba wrap for my little girl who is 6 weeks old. It was 225 dhs on www.luxelittle.com. It us basically a really long piece of stretchy fabric that you wrap around your body and up over your shoulders. Your baby will be next to your skin which has great health benefits for your baby. My LO loves it and as she loves to be held is ideal for me. It is very comfy to wear too. I had it delivered to the house the day after I ordered it for an extra 25 dhs.

How are the mother care 2 /3 position carriers for comfort of babies ? I don't know anything about them and have never actually seen one. From a quick look on the website, they do have the wide-leg support so that's a plus. Are the babywearing workshops still happening in Dubai? Perfect opportunity to have a look at many of the options and talk to experienced Mums about the advantages & disadvantages of each.

Ergo carriers are one of the best on the market...they carry baby in an anatomically correct, supportive position to avoid pressure on the hips and spine. You can use an Ergo to carry a newborn, baby or toddler on your front, hip or back. They are available in Dubai, although I'm not sure where (at least one online retailer with quick delivery I believe). I have used our Ergo for all three children, my son when he was 20kg (!!), and it's still perfect so another family is getting some use out of it. Good value for money. ;) http://store.ergobaby.com/ With apologies Jalapeno, most of the Baby Bjorn carriers are not very good for the baby's spine. I *think* the Baby Bjorn "Comfort Carrier" is the only one that offers the option of having the baby's full hips and upper legs supported. Any that have the narrow strap between the legs, allowing the legs to dangle straight down are the poorly designed ones.

I use a baby Bjorn (front carrier) and my 4 month loves it. I've been using it since she was born. Very convenient for me too as I also have an 18 month old. It's so simple and quick to put on and to put her in.
