my first SSC

WARNING: This entry is suuuuuperrrr long with maaaaaany pics...



Remember this entry?

Aku dok sibuk2 nak mencarik SSC kan...

Pastu aku dok melangut kat MBW..

Pastu aku try test MT (mei tai) Hanim, then aku try test SSC Syaz Jumpsac. Baca psl MT and Jumpsac SSC tester.

Kat MBW aku kenal ramai BW otais... macam2 aku baca tentang MT, SSC, wraps (yet to try this one.. rase tanak lah, takut hook hahha)..

Antara nye aku kenal Kak Yaz - she's a mother of 6, very passion (addicted?) to strollers.. in fact dulu2 masa aku rajin bloghopping aku pernah gak terjah blog stroller kak yaz ni.. Kyaz kira baru in BW.. so dia dok mencarik SSC jugak..

tp kyaz ni bagus, berani cuba.. so dia beli SSC Jumpsac and later she bought O&A (Olive and Applesauce) SSC - a US-made carrier. And she bought this carrier in both size 16" and 18" (FYI, that's the height of the body panel of the carrier) for her sons (Harraz 1+yo and si comel Jabb 5mths kan kyaz kan??)

so satu hari ni, aku came across one of her thread on Babyhawk Oh Snap (BHOS)SSC. Kyaz dah order this carrier cos she's so curious abt this carrier's headrest.. so aku pon saje lah bagi msg tanye OS dah sampai ke? Then saje tease dia ckp, "kyaz dah banyak carrier tu tanak ke let go yang lama?"

then she replied, "nak ke?"

ehh apa lagi... aku pm dia and tanya bebetul.. actually more abt the carrier ie best ke tak etc.. sebab ku ada hati mau beli satu sendiri hehehhehe.. tp masa tu tatau camane sebab tak reti nak pakai paypal etc

cut the story short, she really letting go her 16"...

after few days kami ber'message', carrier pon bertukar tangan.... yeayyyy

ohh sampai sekarang kami masih ber'msg' citer pasal SSC.. kan kak yaz kan?? Aku suka je layan hahahah nak beli tak mampu, so layan kan Kyaz shopping pon jadik la hehhehe

kyaz poslaju dalam USPS original box.. ku sungguh teruja bila tau dah sampai... sape yang tak teruja kan???

Faris tido bila carrier ni sampai, so aku try carry Fatini. (Haziq takmoh!).. she felt weightless... yeayyy i LOIKE this carrier -- MY FIRST SSC!!!

Olive & Applesauce (O&A)

the fabric of body panel.. gender-neutral (GN) bak kata kyaz ;)

yeayyy my first SSC!!

inside panel

hood down

hood bleh sorok dalam nih (sorry gamba blur)

the hood clip

hood clip to this D-ring on the shoulder pad

hood simpan dalam 'poket'

infant harness

the infant harness is adjustable with these 2-level velcro -- Faris still using the 1st velcro on so that he sits higher up in the carrier

that's my happy model..

me wearing him outside for the first time in this carrier.. masa ni he's using the 2nd velcro, so he was kinda sat lower in the carrier (get what i mean?). Kalu tak pakai harness langsung, dia lagi tenggelam. Harness ni bukan je untuk bagi baby kecik dok tinggi sket dlm carrier, tp jugak ciri-ciri keselamatan. Lagi satu yang best nye, u can pass the baby without taking him out of the carrier. Just unbuckle the carrier, then pass to your DH (for eg), then DH leh terus buckle up the carrier... best kan???

bila jalan2 and Faris tak dok dalam carrier (contoh masa makan, dia duk kat baby chair), carrier ni aku buat camni.. just roll the body in, and jadik la camtu.. pelik gak rupanye kan hahha

cara lipat & simpan carrier (tatau la betul ke tak, janji terlipat lawa haha)

ni gamba depan

the action pics:

Faris sangat suka... u can tell rite??

"yupp the strap is yummy, mummy". Oh yes, daddy can wear him too... (FYI, DH never wear him using ringsling pon, ni first time tau. Bila ku cakap dalam keta yang daddy kena carry Faris, dia replied "tak kisah.." then bila tengok dia carry, ku pon sibuk2 la cakap "meh sini mummy carry plak", tp dia tak bagik tau hahhaha -Daddy suka ke carrier mummy nih??)

if u were wondering what is that strap doing behind my back -- that's the chest strap.. it's called so cos when u back carry, the strap is located at ur chest hahahha.. bila front carry, camtu lah rupanye.. kalu takde chest strap ni, nanti shoulder straps tu senang jatuh..

back carry -- first time in public. Thanks to the harness, it made the transition easier (just bukak shoulder straps, then shift him to ur back, then wear the shoulder straps again just like u are wearing ur backpack. Dont forget to lean fwd a bit, so that baby is secured when u were trying to backcarry. For amatuer seperti ku, pembantu spt DH atau maid ku sangat2 diperlukan, ai tak berani lagi buat sorang2 hahahha)

kalau tido, patut leh pakai hood tu so that kepala baby tak 'terlentuk' ke belakang. Tapi sebab Faris tera adjust kepala dia so that melekap terus kat dada mummy, so ku tak payah pakaikan hood tuh. (nnt ada action pic aku tunjuk kay)

kadang2 aku rolled up the hood so that leh jadik cam 'headrest' plus i dont like the hood to obscure my lovely print :p

itulah kisah nye....

And i really considered myself lucky to know kak yaz.. she's such a lovely sister to me.. (and of course sbb ku dapat beli carrier kyaz hehehh, p/s kyaz kalu mau let go carrier lain, bgtau saya dulu tau heheh)

And i'm considered luckier, cos not long after i decided to buy this carrier from Kyaz, Jumpsac.com tutup order SSC due to their overwhelming orders, then Liza snuggbaby.com was blessed with a good news that she's expecting her 2nd child, so had to temp close the store for order too... uhuk uhuk... sib baik beli lah.. kalu tak, terkulat2 diriku nak carik SSC cam Dian, tp sib baik dia pandai jahit & ada mesin jahit tau .... betoi tak???


okay, ni kira intro, next entry ku bagik review okeh...

Norley, ko mmg power psl BW nih.. kudos to you.. and the pics. nnti aku ada baby kecik, aku consult ko to increase me knowledge ek.. membeli tk mampu ler since aku stil Baby Bjorn'er.. hahaha..

take care!

scudmami said...

kak yaz.. mana terer nye fold tu, i tot u did a better job when u posted it to me...

Rozy~ probably Hadif dah besa and dh dpt 'kaki' so lagi suka "free" drpd kena carry gitu.. i think Faris mmg suka sgt kena carry sbb dia udah biasa digendong begitu sejak dari lahir buk... LOL

Nana~ u are more than welcome to join the BW club.. err bila tu?? Sooner?? takpe, BB ko kira carrier lain, u can try ringsling or pouch plak..
Aku sejak dok BW, cloth diapering ni mmg terasa nak baby kecik je ahahhahah
