Baby Carrier Carrier, Baby

想問下邊款 Baby Carrier 好用? 我買左個二手Jolly Jumper既carrier，好難著上身，ＢＢ唔舒服，唔鐘意用。

係度買好定叫人係香港幫我買好？

仲有，香港有好多媽咪買Baby Legs既leggings比ＢＢ，有無人有買？好唔好用？

you need to try these on yourself, everybody is different

baby carrier..we have the snugli and also baby bjorn
it really depends on how often and how long you will carry the baby for..

if it's just for a short shopping trip, an inexpensive snugli is enough
but if you are going to carry baby for more than 1 hr...i would strongly suggest you try to get a baby bjorn

the babiesrus/toysrus in new west/coquitlam has all the baby carriers for you to try before you buy
we tried...snugli, eddie bauer, baby bjorn classic, sling

after trying all those, the baby bjorn was the best and most comfortable one to use

although you can try to snugli, the straps will make your shoulders sore very easily. it is best to get something with back support..something that will be close to the middle of your back so the weight is evenly distributed

also..we got our baby bjorn at a swap meet...or you can check out craiglist
the regular price is $100 but we got one for $30

or if you tried a snugli and you want one..haha..i can sell one to you too.

but like what shutterbug said..you need to try these on before you buy. go to the toysrus and use their sample and carry the baby around for a while and see how you fee

oops..forgot to mention baby legs...
baby legs are quite expensive here (i think $15 - $20?). you can make your own by cutting adult socks! just cut the bottom off and 套 it onto the baby's legs
also...i think their main purpose is to look nice and cute on a baby..not necessary useful unless your baby is crawling on gravel..haha..
we have carpet everywhere here..so there's really no need to use baby legs. instead you can get baby stockings if you want to keep your baby's legs warm

in HK, i find that they sell a lot of cute but useless stuff for babies...especially at shops like 荷花..because in HK, kids are a big market. most kids clothes in HK are more expensive than adults because parents are willing to buy buy buy for their 金菠蘿.

and also the baby carriers in HK are just 翻版 of what they sell here..of course with a different name. I saw "baby lucky" (looks EXACTLY and designed 100% like baby bjorn) in HK for $199.

i agree baby bjorn is great, hopefully you can find one at a swap meet.

i used combi and aprica, they both work well.

我睇網站好多人介紹Baby Bjorn好用，我都想買，諗全年尾會帶個Ｂ返香港行下，到時可以用。

三月會去swapmeet睇下有無得賣，二百蚊一個真係好貴。

the combi ones I saw in HK were about $700..that's almost the same price as baby bjorn!

swap meets are a HUGE garage sale..usually inside a community centre. Kids swap meet sellers are only allowed to sell baby - 12 year old stuff. So..there are lots of baby clothes, strollers, carriers, toys...anything you can think of that is related to a baby or a kid. There are also car seats, breastpump..etc. There are some free swapmeets but usually they are smaller (maybe 30-40 tables?). The paid swap meets ($1 - $5 admission) usually have maybe 100 tables or 2 gyms full of items for sale.

the website above will let you know of when and where all the swap meets are!
I love going to the one in Cloverdale because they are the least expensive and people are quite generous. The ones in Richmond always sell expensive and pretty worn stuff.
