Without doubt the finest all terrain pushchair you can buy
Kelty Kangaroo Front Baby Carrier
If you haven't yet used a baby sling you won't know quite how hard a normal one can be to load up, there are usually two methods - wear the sling and lower the baby into it, or place the baby in the sling then put it on.
If you put the sling on first then you have to raise the baby to head height and lower its dangling legs into the sling opening just below your chin successfully getting each dangling leg into a leg hole - its quite amusing the first time you try it - then adjust the sling to secure the baby. It's an advantage if you have more than two hands.
If you put the baby into the sling first then its hard to get the sling on yourself.
And once you've achieved that the baby's weight is carried by your shoulders - that's why its called a sling - and remember a baby can double its birth weight in the first six months.
There is a better way to design a baby carrier
...it just costs a bit more to make a product easy to use by someone with only two hands.
The Kelty Kangaroo is a two part modular baby carrier (not a sling):
a harness for you, and
a pouch for the baby
Fitting the harness on yourself and the baby into the pouch are performed separately and each part is independently adjustable so you can both get the ideal fit for comfort and security, without the complication of doing it while loaded.
Four simply quick release clips then integrate the pouch with the harness into a single secure baby carrying unit.
The harness is designed to carry the baby's weight predominantly on the waist belt not the shoulder straps so it's your hips which take the strain not your shoulders.
Simple really.
Combine good design with quality outdoor materials and you have a fully functional baby carrier for active use in those early months.
