mybat: A baby carrier should really be a must for anyone with a toddler and a newborn. I have a babyBjorn, and I couldn’t have managed without it when my oldest ones were little. Whether your toddler is happy to have a new baby to “play” with or to “love” (too much of that kind of playing/loving, your newborn can do without!) or is outright jealous and aggressive towards your little one, a baby carrier can literally be a lifesaver.

It gives comfort to the baby because he/she is snuggled up to Mommy, and keeps the baby safe from being harmed by big brother/sister.

The only thing is that it limits Mommy’s activities when the baby is being carried this way. You can’t just bend over to pick up things, etc.

I have never found it to be a problem re: tznius. You just have to adjust your clothes in front of a mirror after you put it on, to make sure that your top is laying the right way and not being pulled improperly one way or another. Then everything stays in place after that.

I googled the Ergo, and it looks a little bulky and pricey. I have the babyBjorn original and I was always happy with it.
