Any good recommendation for baby carrier that suits Singapore's hot and humid weather ? Was thinking Ergo baby or manduca at first..

Hi. How old is your baby? It matters because some carriers are not suitable for young babies or need a separate infant insert which may be warm for baby (eg Ergo and Tula carriers). Some suggestions for babies under 4 months: - ring slings - Lillebaby (can try at Takashimaya baby section) - JPMBB PhysioCarrier (can try at 1010 shops, I saw the sample at the city square mall branch) For above 4 months: - Ergo Performance Ventus - Tula with mesh back (do note that smaller size babies may not be able to fit in this without infant insert till 6-8 months old - JPMBB PhysioCarrier - Lillebaby For ring slings, can have a look at these local online retailers: - http://www.warabeehs.com/#!sling/c1ddf - http://www.jarsoffluff.com/collections/ring-slings - http://smoochsmoochbaby.com/collections/ring-sling - http://www.fluffmail.com.sg/collections/ring-sling - http://www.careringsling.com/collections/carering-sling-textile - http://13thirteen.com.sg/shop/index.php?id_category=31&controller=category Can consider using a ring sling first, then switch to a soft structure carrier when baby is about 4 months old. You will have many more options then without bothering about infant inserts. I like ring slings because they are less warm, quick on and off, easy to machine wash and dries fast. Downside is that baby's weight is on your one shoulder... So how long you can carry for depends on your tolerance and how heavy your baby is.
