Ergos! and OhSnaps! and Freehands! Oh My!

Yesterday we got the nicest alert that a very smart and savvy mama had blogged the reasons she decided upon an Oh Snap! over an Ergo. I have to agree with her reasoning.

I always tell parents who ask that the Ergo is a great carrier and difficult to improve upon -- certainly, it is all but impossible to beat the price of Ergo without buying used. But there are specific improvements made upon Ergo's orginal soft-structured carrier which as a parent I find useful, stylish and comfortable.

Here are the various soft-structured carriers you will find at Metro Minis today:

Ergo
Beco
Boba
Oh Snap!
Pikkolo by Catbird Baby
the new Freehand SSC
Angelpack
and last but definitely not least,
Scootababy, the only soft-structured *HIP* carrier that we really like.

I have always maintained that babywearing is hot sport, but the summer-worthiness of a carrier depends more on its comfort than on the amount of fabric or the weight of the fabric, or even the weight of the carrier. More on THAT issue in the days to come.

Come to Metro Minis and check them out!
