Hindsight is a bitch, ain’t it? Of course you can always make the right decision after you make the wrong one. This is a curse in my life, it starts with Grayson, and it continues through Fantasy Football. You know the problem, you have 3 solid running backs, and you inevitably bench the guy who scores the most, week after week.
The same can be said for making decisions about products before your baby is born. How should you know which diaper to buy, which pacifier they’ll like or, in this post’s case, which baby carrier to buy?
You’ll inevitably chose the wrong one, because, as much as you try, you’re not fully informed to make the right decision.
When picking our Baby Bjorn, we made a giant mistake. We went cheap. Honestly, we couldn’t see the difference on the box. We were flying through Babies R Us, doing our registry and not really thinking about things too much. This is how you get in trouble. So, we thought, “These all look remarkably similar. I guess we should just get the cheapest one.”
Fast forward to today, Gray is 10 weeks 13.3 lbs, and our backs almost rip in two when we carry him. Thanks, Baby Bjorn Original.
If you can afford it, my friends say to try out the ERGObaby Baby Carrier.
Just do your back a favor, and think this through more than we did.
We did the exact same thing! I saw you mention the Bjorne in earlier posts and almost said something. The Ergo is amazing, even if the styling is a bit tree-hugger chic.
Yeah, totally. Don’t do what I did and to dish out $80 for a counterfeit ERGObaby though. It’s just not cool.
My husband went to REI and got a legit one and we’ve spent a good two hours trying to figure it out but it’s worth it like you said!
