MomCozy - Carrier
Once we had our second child we quickly realized we would have to divide and conquer certain tasks, which meant one of us would be on newborn duty while the other wrangled our three year old. I set out to find an easy to fasten carrier and stumbled upon the MomCozy carrier. The price point is unbeatable and the ability to clip myself into it is exactly what I was looking for. For short wear times around the house or quick trips to the store, this carrier is GREAT.
Sleepy Wrap
During the first few months with our babies we liked to use a wrap carrier. They are still in their "scrunch" position so, for us, this felt like the most natural method to wear them.. Plus who doesn't LOVE the newborn snuggles?! It does require you to tie it around yourself, but once you do it a couple times it is easy to master. At such a great price ($25) it is nice to have this in the arsenal.
MomCozy - Hip Seat
As our oldest became more interested in moving between forward facing and face to face I purchased a hip seat. This is an awesome dupe for the $85 Tushbaby name brand. At only $50 it has been wonderful for us. And now with our second baby, I am using it to support a cradle carry as I feed him to give my arms some support while I'm walking around with my toddler. Super versatile! Not to mention the huge storage compartment it has for wipes, diapers, change of clothes, phone, bottle, keys, etc. Highly recommend.
Ergobaby
We were gifted one of these carriers from my sister and LOVE it. Although it can be tricky to clip in the back without some help. The ergobaby is ideal for outside wear as it has a sunshade that can be clipped on to shield your little one. I have worn this carrier for hours with a 20 lb child and experienced only minimal back pain. As I mentioned, this was a hand-me-down and has been WELL LOVED between four children and over twelve years and it STILL looks and performs like we got it last year! So durable! Needless to say, this investment is well worth it.
Luvdbaby - Hiking backpack
Most hiking backpacks will run you about $300. For us that was a bit steep, so after many days of searching for a more affordable option we purchased this backpack and are not disappointed. It has many positive reviews and was much cheaper than some of the competing brands. There is plenty of storage room to pack your lunch and other baby necessities. It comes with a detachable sunshade and complimentary baby changing pad! It does not make carrying a 30 lb toddler on your back any easier... but it does make it more comfortable!
