    Driving 5/ 6 hours (without counting breaks) for Thanksgiving with a 2 month old. Would you do it?

    @graced1257 Unless someone close to him attending that Thanksgiving was literally dying - no way. Not in a million years.

    @boboc I’ve posted there twice in the past 2 weeks - first with a $100 budget (zero offers), then a $150 budget (remember retail is $150-170) and only got 2 offers of ‘play quality’ (stained and fraying) carriers. After paying shipping on top that’d be more than buying new which has shipping...

    @rcalabrese Yo also a teacher on mat leave (10 week old baby) with a tender c-section scar. It’s still pricey but Sakura Bloom’s Scout is very similar and in stock with 20% off currently ( ‘springlove’ discount code). The colours they have in stock currently (I assume their permanent...

    @belleclear Ofc it was. Did you see the (very long) post from a woman asking for a ‘good price’ on ~cake~ as a gift to her ‘rainbow baby’ from it’s ‘angel sibling’ … I had to pick my jaw off the floor that she was trying to use a miscarriage to score a LE colour of a carrier!!!

    Considering baby bjorn mini but not sure if it’s right for me!

    @wrshamblinjr As others have said you should avoid the BB Mini - not hip healthy for baby, suffocation risk, uncomfortable for parents and very short lifespan. If you want something super easy and comfy for wearing around the house go for the Ergo Embrace, or if you want something more...

    @obelex I think right now HB have been having production/supply issues for almost a year now so the demand is high for all carriers regardless of colour and condition. I’ve been obsessively looking for 2 weeks and haven’t found a single second hand carrier going for less than $150 and retail is...

    @109550992 I actually like the colour but it is made of corduroy which will be way too hot for summer weather. Yeah, idk if I’m getting a big too conspiracy theory ish but then having multiple different breakdowns in production/manufacturing relationships does seem fishy.

    @ayodeji Thank you! I tried Integra, Connecta and Kahu as apron style carriers but the lack of leg padding upset my baby! I also didn’t like that the sun hood was not detachable and just flapped around when not in use.

    @spartta …designer poop collectors lol I actually like wool clothes for kids - but I knit them myself with machine washable yarn. Don’t think I’d pay retail price for casual wool stuff for kids.

    @heidi8 I understand collecting things that don’t depreciate much in quality/value with normal usage eg fountain pens, books, art etc. But surely baby items are by definition not collector items as 1. babies grow out of things so fast 2. babies pee/poo/vomit on everything 3. normal wear&tear...

    After a lot of research (and trying half a dozen slings at my local library) I have learn that a Happy Baby Original carrier is one that both myself and my baby like (she likes structured carriers like Ergo/Tula but thick waistbands aggravate my c section scar, I like soft/lightweight carriers...
