Yay! Our new Pod arrived!

When Adam came to pick us up from preschool, there was a package waiting in the car. It was our new preloved podaegi

"poh" - as in -pole"

"deh" - as in "dead"

"gee" - as in "geek")

It's tradionally an asian baby carrier from Korea and in Taiwan used by lots of grandmothers and nannies but its often a baby quilt or blanket so it's not as lovely as the ones in the UK.

This is a rucksack (Back pack) There a quite of few different ways to tie it but have to practice more.

Ethan has been carried in an onbuhimo by his nanny which is a Mei Tai but instead of waist straps, it has loops or rings at the bottom.

This is an example of an onbuhimo (If you look closely you can see the ring at her waist in which the top straps are looped through)

Ethan's nanny just made loops out of fabric and atached them to the bottom of the carrier.

This is a mei tai

As well Etanh has also been carried in a Baby Bjorn.

Now that he is a toddler, I was looking for an option that would support his weight and not create back problems for me.

This is great!

Within opening it, putting it on, Ethan was asleep in 10minutes if not less and it is super comfy. This is a great way to get him to sleep as without it, it normally takes 3-5 stories, 3 songs and I have to stand and rock him to sleep- aching arms. Adam on the other hand, puts him in his bed, reads one story, says goodnite and Ethan turns over and goes to sleep!

Yay!
