My Carrier of Dreams
I jumped at the chance to test out the new Ergobaby OMNI 360 Air Mesh recently. As a military family we split life between the super-hot and dusty Middle east and the UK and I’ve been longing for a carrier to emerge which does it all for us. I need something to perform in hot or cold climates, to have a big weight range to use with both kids, to be washable, stylish for me and cool enough for my husband to wear too. Oh, and it needs to help me run through the airport with one in it whilst pushing the buggy with one hand, balancing a coffee in the other and without losing a child, or my mind. BIG ASK.

Introduction:
Hi. I’m Alex. Wife to Mark, and Mum to Ben aged 6, and Lily and Ella now aged 1. Mark and I fell in love with travel when we first went to live in the UK from New Zealand in 2004. A hobby turned in to an obsession. The arrival of Ben meant we had to think differently about travel, but he fitted right in and at the age of 6 has been to about 25 different countries.
When Lily and Ella joined our family in 2012, we wanted to continue to travel and in the style we were accustomed to (a bit of comfort here and there, but mainly independently). A decision to move back to NZ had us stuffing as much travel in to 2017 as we could, finishing with a 10 week journey through parts of South East Asia.
We knew that carrying both girls was going to be an additional challenge, and that taking care of our backs (as we wouldn’t be getting as many “breaks” from carrying
