Baby carriers/slings/pouches

^sis try mong basahin yung blog ni the painter's wife. Ang dami nyang posts about saya, and meron din syang comparison between versatekk and ssk.

ako I use ssk, pareho kaming masaya ni baby at love namin yun. Ok din yung fit for us nung smallest size. Kaya nagdadalawang isip ako sa versatekk, kasi nabasa ko na mas stretcheable yung versatekk compared sa ssk, baka mas bumaba yung position ni baby sa versatek. Nabasa ko rin kasi, na pag medium ka sa ssk, adviseable kunin yung small na versatek dahil nga mas stretchable. In my case, wala namang extra small na versatekk.

And sabi sa review mas madali daw ilagay si baby sa versatek, pero sakin naman, hindi naman ako hirap sa paglagay at pagtanggal kay baby.

about the color, hindi ko rin nakuha yung preferred color ko na brown. Pero happy na rin ako sa pink, favorite color ko naman. Sa babyland din ako bumili. Mas maganda sis, tawag ka  muna sa branch ng babyland na pupuntahan mo, minsan kasi walang stock nung preferred color at size mo.

i own an ssk Saya, and we still use it my baby is 9 months na i was also able to try the versatek in babyland, i carried baby on it with the tangan position facing me. I was planning kasi to get both..wala lang hehe.
So, to compare SSK vs. Versatek, the versatek fabric is cooler than ssk,given that we were in an airconditioned place..the tela kasi yung type na lalamig din pag nasa malamig ka. So im not sure kung paano na pag outdoors at mainit. I also think that the versatek's fabric would not be absorbent to pawis. Eh pawisin pa naman si baby.
Masmadali nga isuot ang versatek kasi madulas yung tela and reversible sya so no need to fuss if im using the right side.  tama yung sabi mo sis glamorosa, mas stretchy yung fabric ng versatek so baka masnaka-lundo si baby pag mabigat na sya.
Sa ssk, though medyo mainit sya in days na well - mainit naman talaga, but because the fabric is absorbent, okay pa din naman, naabsorb kasi yung sweat. Kasi in places and during times na malamig naman, it can also serve as another layer to keep baby warm.
So i decided na wag na lang kumuha ng versatek since the ssk is serving its purpose na din naman. i got the color black plain.. Mahirap lang minsan when both loops are plain nakakaconfuse if im pulling/fixing the right loop, di ko madetermine since pareho nga ng color. Kaya naisip ko yun pala purpose nung ssk na one loop plain and the other loop printed

Oo nga noh, yun pala yung use ng magkaibang print ng loop. Plain din kasi sakin eh. Kaya ang ginagawa ko yung may tag ang nakalagay sa shoulder, yung wala sa waist. Or minsan naman, kung ano yung mas maluwag na loop sa kanan (pag nakababa na), yun yung sinasabit ko sa shoulder.

Thank you sa tips! I'll call Babyland Eastwood Mall muna before we go there to make sure we'll have choices.

Buti nalang I saw this post. Sumasakit na kasi ang arms and backs namin ni hubby sa kaka karga kay baby. I'm planning on buying a Saya carrier, based on the comments here. Mukhang mas mailalabas namin si baby pag ganito kasi pag nasa stroller siya iyak siya ng iyak.

[Khaleesi]

Mukhang ergo baby carrier ang sagot sa pangangailangan ko. Sis Khaleesi, ilang months baby mo nung ginamit mo sa kanya ang ergo baby carrier mo?

5 months sis. pwede naman yung ergo carrier 4 months and up. if baby is less than four months old you'll need an ergo infant insert.

i used jellybean sling for my second baby.. from 1st month nya upto mga 7months.. its easy to breastfeed using it plus nafefree pa yung 1 hand ko.. i stopped using it around his 7th month kc ang hirap magshift from breastfeeding positon to sitting position.. pwede pa cya gamitin sana if i want to carry him around lang but since most of the time hindi ko kasama hubby ko sa pag gagala, ad on lang cya sa bitbit ko so i stopped using it na

Hello mommies, may question lang ako and medyo related pa naman siya with this thread.  I hope I can get some feedback...

Bibili kasi ako ng Saya carrier. My question is do you/would you share your carrier/sling/pouch with the yaya?

Nabibigatan na kasi kami kay baby kaya kahit sa bahay plano namin gamitin yun. Sumasakit na mga braso at likod namin. Si yaya pa naman ang nag kakarga kay baby during the day kasi nag work ako.

I plan to share it with hubby of course but kung sa yaya, masyado na bang personal yun?  Parang ayaw ko kasi naglilinis and nagluluto ang yaya syempre mapapawisan and madudumihan, tapos ako susuot ng carrier after. Tsaka baka pag lagi niyang gamit yung carrier, baka masyadong maging attached na yung baby sa kanya, gusto ko sakin lang hehe.

Gusto ko lang malaman if you share your carrier with the yaya. Sould I get another carrier just for the yaya? Or that is probably too much? Hoping for some enlightenment....

[glamorosa_09]

I only share my saya with my mom (pag nasa kanila kami)... BIG NO NO sa maid or kahit sa ibang tao.
Parang damit/bolero ang saya. Para saken personal thing sya like my blouses. 
And syempre ako lang and my mom (sometimes) ang pwedeng maka-karga ng ganun sa baby ko.

Hubby of course is pwede, kaya malaking tao hubby ko. May iba naman syang type of carrier.

[skits]

anong carrier ng hubby mo? i'm looking for one for my hubby, malaking tao din sya eh and we can't share the saya.

[MalditaMum]

Thanks glamorosa, na confirm ang iniisip ko hirap nga lang mag explain kung bakit hindi ko siya papahiramin. Feeling ko gusto kasi gamitin ng yaya eh.

[bb]

ok ba yung disney n baby carrier? kelan pwede isakay si baby dun?

[Grayce]

try baby bjorn. me and hubby uses baby bjorn for my baby and it fits my hubby naman. my hubby's on the huge side btw.

[skits]

^saan available to sis?

[Grayce]

^you can check mothercare parang meron ako nakita sa gb5 branch before. also rustan's try mo rin check.

[_pink12_]

Don't buy the MacLaren baby carrier, ang sakit sa batok kasi dun nacoconcentrate yung weight ni baby eh. Look for the ones na meron din strap sa waist para dun madistribute ang weight ni baby.

[Grayce]

^mababa lang rin  ang weight ng maclaren baby carrier

We also have a baby bjorn, and we used it extensively with my first baby, especially si hubby. Ako kasi nung more than 6 months na si baby sumasakit na yung back ko sa carrier, hehe. Bigat na kasi ni baby nun. But kay hubby talagang super sulit and baby bjorn. Nung more than 1 na si baby, yung stroller naman ang sulit gamitin. Until now that he's almost 3, we still use the stroller when we go to the mall.

Now we're expecting our second child, and I'm thinking of buying a ring sling. I like the fact that you can use it to breastfeed? Dati kasi kakangawit din magbreastfeed pag lumalabas kami... sa bahay kasi I have a boppy pillow, hehe. Hassle naman kasi kung dadalhin ko pa yung pillow pag lumalabas. To anyone who used the ring sling, okay talaga sya for breastfeeding babies? Di ba mahirap?

We have the ergo baby carrier. No back/shoulder pain. I highly recommend it.
