I love baby carriers too. Although I have only tried a few since I found a Moby D and have stuck with it. It is the same wrap as the HugaBub, just a different company that makes it. Thought I would mention though that if you check out the link here:

The show you how you can use it to carry a toddler on your back. It might be useful in Ethiopia.

I love love love the Maya or the Ergo for carrying toddlers. For longer periods of time, the Ergo is terrific. For shorter periods (and in a taxi LOL), the Maya would be great!

I’m pretty faithful to plain old ring slings (Maya and OTSBH) for toddlers – they’re just so easy.

Looking forward to your reviews on the HugaBub and Ergo.

My youngest has been too big to wear for almost a year, now. I’m so excited about getting the slings out for my trip to see our 18 month old in Haiti!! )

The Hip Hammock is NOT what I would suggest for a toddler. The strap is not wide enough or situated appropriate for the weight of a toddler. I always suggest a Mei Tai (meitaicarrier.com being my personal fav) or a woven wrap (stretchy wraps are not right for the weight of a toddler, so woven is better). Also, I’ve heard GREAT things about the Ergo for toddlers but I have not personally tried one out (yet).

Babywearing is my forte.
