What a lifesaver...
My mum looks after children for a living and literally drilled me about getting this carrier for weeks and weeks before Tayo was born. At the time (no offence mum) it was slightly annoying but now I feel like I owe her BIG TIME. There is just no way I would survive city life without it. Its just not possible lol. I live in a 3rd floor apartment with no lift, so theres no such thing as nipping out with a buggy. Its a whole process which involves multiple trips up and down the stairs and 1) I can't be bothered, 2) I'm too tired and 3) its been a freaking heatwave and its too hot. So this is when the Ergobaby has stepped in to save the day lol.
As well as this, there had been many occasions where I find the carrier better than a pram... Ive made a list :

It’s been a busy couple of months for the royals. But not to be overshadowed by the recent big royal wedding was the news of the arrival of Kate and William’s third child not too long ago. Over the past few months, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have had us all guessing about the new royal nursery. Will it be classic and timeless or a fun character theme?
There’s no denying it that creating the perfect nursery for the arrival of a new little one can be both stressful and exciting. But how do you make sure your new baby’s nursery is the perfect calming and welcoming environment?
National homebuilder and experts in new spaces, Miller Homes, has these tips.
Add a splash of colour
Naturally, colour is a good place to start when designing the perfect

Summer is finally approaching, and if you’re anything like us, you’ll be counting down to that much-anticipated family break. Playing on the beach, or splashing around in the pool with the little ones, is the stuff of precious memories – but before you reach your sun-drenched destination, there’s the small matter of getting there.
Air travel can be a real challenge for parents of young children, with even the best-behaved ones prone to crying from tiredness, hunger, painful ears, or simply because their routine has been disrupted. Add to that the fact that we’re all-too-aware how disgruntled other passengers get when there’s a grizzly baby on board, and you could end up feeling frazzled before you’ve even taken off.
So, how do you ensure baby is as relaxed as possible for the flight? Peter Jenkins, from luxury travel specialist Sun-hat Villas and Resorts
