Looking for a child carrier that would be suitable for carrying an 18mnth old and also a tiny 3 year old. Looking one to wear on DH's back on a walking holiday. Any suggestions/recommendations please, or anyone selling a second hand one. TIA

we have this one and it was good from when DS was about 6 months old, still good now and he is 11kg http://www.kathmandu.com.au/Boys/0-18_months/40342/Karinjo_Child_Carrier.html not sure if you can buy it in Dubai, but if you fin an expat selling it, def a good midrange one, although if its for flying, I think mothercare does one with wheels too. <em>edited by kiwispiers on 10/07/2011</em>

hated the baby bjorn (so did my son). love love love our ergo...get a cocoon insert for NB or whatever they are called.-a must for travel. get it from babysouk so you dont buy a fake. used a moby wrab for early months...liked it! use the ring sling on occasion as it stuffs into the stroller or bag easier than anything else...just cant use it for long periods.

Yes, I think thats it. It's the designer type shop opposite the elephant. Someone told me they were selling them and I went in and asked as it doesn't look like a baby type shop, there is a small window display that you can see as you walk in or out of Paris Galleries. They had about 4 left when I got mine a week ago.

mpenny101 replied : I too recommend the Ergo. Have been breaking my back with my 8 kgs DD in a Baby Bjorn, somebody mentioned to me Ergos were in stock in Brauhaus in Ibn Battuta so I tried it on and it felt a dream. Bought it and spent the rest of the day giving piggy back rides to my 18 kgs 4 yr old DS who thought it was hilarious he fitted! Summer travelling has instantly got easier. Brauhaus ? Is it the name of the shop ? TIA

The Moby wrap was a God send from 0 to 12 months. Now we are loving our Ergo which is kind on the back when your baby weighs more. There are different Ergo models, I like the Ergo Sport.

We have a similar one to this http://www.childcarriers.com/Deuter-Kid-Comfort-II.pro - it hurts my back a bit - I tried the Ergo uncomfortable too ... The bigger carrier is perfect for DH to carry DD in.

Def second the Ergo, DH and i both have one (i have orig, he has performance) and its great - can easily switch between our 1 yr old and nearly 3 yr old without having to alter the settings at all. Great investment, use it especially when travelling at the airport etc....

Hi. I was just going to advertise ours for sale! It's a navy blue bushbaby premier ( have a look on their website for details about it) used twice due to our daughter prefering to walk! If you're interested mail me on rachball2000athotmaildotcom

If you're looking for a brand recommendation, I think you can't go past the Ergo. I have occasionally been carrying one child and been able to switch to the other one without having to adjust the carrier. It's amazingly comfortable, all of the wieght is taken by your hips so you don't really even feel the weight of the child. I have carried a 20kg toddler for hours and not been uncomfortable...and I'm NOT fit and strong. ;) My Ergo has survived three children and has now been passed onto a friend to use for hers. It's indestructable. :D I believe the parent company now ships internationally. http://www.ergobabycarrier.com/ ETA - you can use it on your front, back or hip and there's an infant insert available for newborns. <em>edited by Green-ish on 28/06/2011</em>

I probably don't want a new one. Had a look on dubizzle and there was only 1. I will keep looking over the next few weeks.

I found a second hand one on Dubizzle when I needed one. Couldn't find any new ones back then.
