It’s finally here folks!
The ergonomically designed, soft- structured, baby- carrier is finally here. Ha!
Months of research and endless mall pounding and Dr J came up with nothing. Until yesterday…
She found a Doha- based group of Mommies on Facebook (Meet the lovely ladies here) , that and a few phone calls later; things that had come to a dead halt, were set in motion again.
A mad dash to Landmark at 9:30 pm and Dr J finally laid hands on the …..
Some background info before the big reveal.
Why a carrier at all?
- The stroller can be nuisance sometimes (read LuLu on Friday evenings!)
- Great at airports especially when Dr J is travelling alone.
- Easy to carry along when on vacation and family trips
- Lil Ms Z likes being carried
- Dr J likes long walks
- It is a work out.
- Baby- wearing is super-cool!
- Of course research talks of several benefits of baby wearing….
What type? Criteria?
- An ergonomic one.
- Tried, tested, proven and popular.
- Safe and comfortable for Lil Ms Z
- Comfortable to wear
- Nifty and non- bulky enough for the petite, 5’3″ Dr J
- “Macho” enough for the 5’11” Mr H (hence pretty wraps and colorful slings are out of the picture 😦 )
Brands?
Baby Bjorn, Manduca, Tula, Boba, Beco, Ergobaby. Whichever Dr J can lay her hands on, preferably without the hassle of international shipping.
So, what DID she finally get?
Drum-roll please….
Dr J intends to give it a thorough trial before she posts a review. Hopefully soon…
Till then…
Dr J.
P.S. More non-random, researched, tested baby products coming soon…

good choice. 425 QR at Mothercare, if i am right.. After having bought the “must-have” items for the baby, this is currently in the “nice-to-have” category which means that it could be as a gift :)) until we decide to buy it.. from Ergo’s US website as they have some nice designs that’s not available in Doha.

Price-wise. expect it to be around 50 qr more, including Shop and Ship costs..
Yes, I bought it for 425 QAR.
I guess I should start putting up the prices of things as well…maybe that would help parents more 🙂
i was there the previous day but saw only an open box in red colour and the rest were all camel / beige colours.. I assume you got the black colour..
I did! I wanted those designer ones but they don’t stock them here in Qatar I was told… And the red (sport version) was opened by me!
Who would have thought!
I had to make sure that it fits before we ordered it online or if someone gave it as a gift.. so whoever opened it, many thanks! 🙂
