Is ther such a thing at that age? My son is now toddling around so mostly we use the maclaren but find on outings with stairs like Hampton court palace it is restrictive just having the pram so I have been using the ergo. In theory it works fine as I love he ergo but his patience is running out with not being able to front face. As he has just started walking I am hesitant to invest in the ergo that front faces so any other suggestions? I thought about a backpack carrier but they look big and heavy! Thanks xxx

Getting them on your back on your own can be tricky at first but easy with someone to help you - or a sofa / chair! Its way more comfy to carry them on your back once they're over about 10kg and they can see quite a lot. Front facing carriers ie where the baby faces out aren't great ergonomically for either them or you so I would agree with not buying another carrier capable of this.

Most people do seem to prefer back carriers for older toddlers, but I used a front carrier and preferred it even when my daughter was quite heavy. I had a Wilkinet which ties, no buckles. That was way more comfy for me.


Everyone is different. Have you thought about trying some different styles at a sling library?

    • Hello I am developing an interest in birds, and am enjoying listening to their singing especially in the morning and when I'm out and about.  I have bought a book about British birds, very detailed with info on each species.  I have managed to identify a couple of birds I've seen or heard around this area, but my starting knowledge of what birds exist here is very limited.  Is anyone knowledgeable able to cite some birds that exist around East Dulwich that I may be able to look up in my book and thereafter try to spot / listen out for?  Thanks! 
    • Hi everyone, I am a local tutor that has worked in an independent school for many years and have been responsible for the 4+ and 7+ assessments - so I know how they work from the inside! The 4+ assessments are especially competitive and the most unknown of all the school entrance assessments. I can help support your application by offering tutoring or a one off practise assessment to help identify what your child needs to work on.  I am happy to answer any questions you have about the assessments or anything specific about how your child will perform on the day. I am familiar with the expectations for Alleyn's, JAGs and St Dunstan's as well as the central London schools like Westminster and City.  I have helped many parents go through the process with their child - including my own son!  Send me a message to find out more!
    • Unfortunately, lovely as it is, it wouldn't be a suitable venue for the forum drinks. Not enough space for people to mingle and get to know each other,  and it would get in the way of other customers. Upstairs at the EDT has  comfy seating,   lots of space and is quiet on a Wednesday night, so we will stay there, if the managers let us! The next drinks aren't arranged yet, but will be in September. We had a break in August as so many people are away.
    • Rod (07739180197) has recently completed the restoration of our garden paths and the rebuilding of our damaged front step. He carefully reset the pathway stones, applied new grout, and sealed them, leaving the surfaces looking as good as new. We had assumed we would need to replace the front step entirely, as our neighbour did, but Rod’s skill and attention to detail have restored it beautifully. I cannot recommend Rod highly enough. He is reliable, punctual, and carries out his work with great care and professionalism. It is clear that he takes real pride in delivering high-quality results.
