i don't know where else to post this, but i wanted to ask...

have any of you with small children used baby carriers? i have bounced back and forth between a couple different ones, but with my arthritis and fibro, the bigger the babe gets the more my back is killing me. it makes me really sad because i want to be able to carry him for long periods of time & he loves it.

what kind do you with arthritis recommend if you've found a comfortable one?

It's been a few years but I used a Bjorn carrier, however once she got to a little over 20 pounds I couldn't take it anymore and just went to the stroller. The last time I carried her in it was when she was about 8 months old. She didn't mind the transition to the stroller actually so it was more me missing carrying her than anything else

I've heard other people say that the Snugli was more comfortable for them.

Regardless, the carrying days end all too soon one way or another!

I understand how it is not being able to carry the little ones. I was in the same position. My baby is now 2 & still wants me to pick her up but it's too painful. I tend to sit down then let her sit on me. It'll be worse if your baby sees you struggling with pain. I found that my girls loved the stroller...gave them a sort of freedom I guess. Maybe get a pram that enable's the baby to face you as you walk ..then you can still interact. Goodluck...I know how your feel.
