Bush Baby Baby Cocoon

I purchased my bush baby carrier last April as we were planning a trip to the western United States and knew we would be doing a lot of walking in places unsuitable for a buggy. I wanted a baby back pack which would be comfortable to wear without putting undue strain on my back (or rather my husband’s back)! And would give my then 15 month old good support. We looked at several models prior to making our purchase namely the mothercare (much cheaper) back pack, which we found very uncomfortable as the straps dug in, even when tried out in the shop.

We bought this carrier after trying my brother-in-law's carrier (he has three children so has plenty of experience!).

This carrier says that it offers more support thus muaking it better for both baby and the person who is doing the carrying! I would agree with this statement yes it is more comfortable than your average baby carrier however i like all baby carriers it does get uncomfortable after after a bit- for me it was approx an hour for me.
