Where is the pikkolo?
Jennifer asked:
Did you decide not to carry the pikkolo?
-------------------------------------------
I have a bunch of Pikkolos in stock right now (in Metro Black, Appletini and Somerset), but I am holding off on listing them because I would like to modify them first before selling them.
Two changes that I want to make:
1) Add snap hooks to the sleeping hood straps...these were present in the first batch, but taken out on the latest batch. Will be back in future batches.
2) Remove the chest belt (which is too easily lost, and somewhat awkward to use) and replace it with a set of chest straps that attach to the shoulder pads and buckle in the middle, like those found on 4th Generation Becos and previous model Ergos.
The sleeping hood snap hooks then will attach to the D-rings on the chest straps, making for a much easier use of the sleeping hood. No matter how tall or short you are, your sleeping hood will attach right at your collarbone.
You are certainly welcome to buy a pikkolo now...I just think that these modifications make for a much better carrier, and I don't like to sell anything less than the best...what *I* would use myself.
I expect the snap hooks to arrive early next week, and I have some chest strap sets in right now, and hope to get more soon.
As soon as I get those in, I will post the pikkolos up for sale.
Also, the optional padded waistband for the pikkolo is in the works, and should be out in another month or two. This changes the pikkolo from an unpadded apron-style waistband to a padded, shaped waistband...perfect if you are looking for more cushioning and support.
The pikkolo is really an awesome carrier, one of my absolute favorites. I recently misplaced my pikkolo (which is customized with attached chest straps, snap hooks on the sleeping hood, and padded waistband)) and both my babysitter and I were SO bummed out.
I finally found it inside a Trader Joe's grocery bag in the trunk of my car. Oh happy day! Not sure what it was doing there, I'm just happy to have it back. :-)
