When I had my first child, the baby carrier I received as a gift was plain and simple, but when my daughter got to be around 16 pounds, it was almost completely unusable! I was in so much pain carrying her! When my son was born, I learned about how many different kinds of baby carriers there were, and how it was so much easier to carry a baby if the weight was more evenly distributed.
I recently purchased a Ball Baby Overall carrier from Have a Ball Baby. Having tried a wrap before, I felt that it was comfortable, but could be bulky and a little confusing. But the Ball Baby Overall carrier basically takes some of the benefits of the wraps and the ease of a Mei Tai and combines them. The result is a Mei Tai with wide straps that can help distribute the weight of your baby across your shoulders and on your hips. Another great feature of the Ball Baby Overall carrier is the size – it can fold up very small and fit into a diaper bag easily. Also, the straps are the same pattern as the carrier, so the look is unique!
Ball Baby Overall carriers come in a variety of patterns and colors. Our favorite is the Scarlett Swirl! You can find Ball Baby Overall carriers at http://www.haveaballbaby.com/, and if you enter our website name in the notes section, you will get a 10% refund on your order.
