   muahahaha that's what we like to hear!
 (I think of it this way: for the money some people spend on strollers you can buy an awful lot of great carriers/slings/wraps!)
 ETA: not that they're mutually exclusive, I've just found we never have any need for a stroller

   Do you mean the pepe or a structured carrier (the metro or escape)?  I haven't seen the pepe in person so hard to tell if it's a crotch dangler or not, I suspect it is though unfortunately.  Would be happy to be proven wrong if anybody knows.  In the structured carriers the kiddies are sitting rather than having their weight all through their spine, but their knees are still lower than their bums so they're not as comfy as a soft structured carrier can be.  HTH.

   From what I can recall the Pepe is a crotch dangler. Have given my input in your other thread here chonny    |

   oh dear - I have just found another addiction! This baby wearing thing is gonna be even more expensive than my nappy addiction - oh dear... might have to throw away the credit card asap! I have a Moby and totally love it, but its SO hot, and wouldn't mind something a bit quicker to pop baby in and out of if just popping out of the car!
