Baby Bjorn

We purchased the Baby Bjorn with back support before Stephen was born, and I've used it frequently, especially in the grocery store. But now, with my hip hurting more, I'm beginning to use it in the mornings when he is especially clingy to go downstairs and make coffee and let the dog out. I even used it to walk to the park this weekend with the dog. He likes being in there, and it makes things easier for me because it distributes the weight off my hip and over my back and shoulders. It also gives a great ab workout. I used to use a hotsling, which I loved when he was smaller, but now it is not all that convenient because the position to use at this time would be the hip carry, which is not the most comfortable. It is especially convenient to use the Baby Bjorn while traveling in an airplane, because you can carry the kid straight through security without taking the Baby Bjorn off. I'm trying to find a good backpack carrier for Sean to use, since he likes putting Stephen on his back/shoulders.
