Wait, you mean baby carrier that can go in the water or like water bottle? If it’s the former I got nothing.

I borrowed a wrap carrier, but I would not recommend that for an older child. It was similar to a Moby.
I'd look for a sling. Do you have a local BWI? You can borrow one or see if someone is selling one.
There are several on Amazon that range from under 20 to over 35.

My K-tan goes everywhere. It is particularly helpful in the water.

C was a little younger than that and I made a ring sling similar to what was posted above. I still kept my hand on him a lot but the sking helped a lot too.

I thought you were talking about a water bottle and I was coming here with a great rec. dammit. I wish it was. The fact that I’m asking for baby wearing recs makes me want to punch myself in the face, but here we are. I’m rich with S’wells though. Unless you have one you love with a straw? I’ll buy that shit right now. |

Magic. |

No luck in BST groups at the moment.
However, look at BityBean's retailer list. There are a ton on the East Coast. Idk exactly where you are, but lots of listings for stores in NY. You might find a physical store not too far from you.

I thought you were looking for a carrier for your water bottle since carrying around your kid all day in the heat was going go be exhausting and you’d be thirsty. I’m not kidding. |

I spiraled on the Bitybean last night. All of the carriers on their website were sold-out and a number of stores that had them online said currently unavailable - with the exception of a place out of the UK and maybe Japan. Best chance is at a bricks and mortar store that has old stock. Looks like they are having a supply/manufacturing issue:-(

Integra solar carrier is awesome, it's as close to an Ergo as you'll find in a water carrier, but a bit pricey depending on how many times you'll use it. these sites have them in stock: www.wrappedincloth.com/collections/integra-baby-carrier-solar-collectionwww.littlezenone.com/collections/integra-solarHave you used a moby-style wrap? Beachfront baby makes a water wrap if you're not a fan of ring slings. Another option is to just buy a cheap carrier like an infantino sash meh dai and use it in the water/on the beach. It's canvas, but they're inexpensive and would dry pretty quickly in warm weather. |
