Hotslings AP = Always Perfect?
Thursday, January 21st, 2010If you’ve been reading this blog for a while, you already know that I use my vacations to test-drive new products.
This most recent trip, I got up close and personal with the new Hotslings AP.
I’ve always loved Hotslings for travel because they fold up small enough to tuck into a diaper bag. The new AP [...]
Lillebaby Everywear Carrier: Help is here
Saturday, February 28th, 2009Based on feedback about the instructions included with the Lillebaby Everywear Carrier, we created a video that should help clarify. This video addresses the most confusing part of the carrier - adjusting the “saddle” between the wide and narrow settings. As a reminder, the wide setting is good for older babies and toddlers who are [...]
New Lillebaby EveryWear Carrier review
Sunday, February 8th, 2009If you’re shopping for a new baby carrier, you’ll find a lot of different options. You can wear your baby on your front, on your back, or on your hip. You can wear him upright or cradled. He can face in or face out. Most of the time, a carrier is limited to one or [...]
M1 Carrier is A1
Sunday, October 14th, 2007If you’ve read my previous post, you already know how the M1 Carrier came into existence. If not, all you need to know is this: it was designed from the ground up to be better than the Baby Björn. At first glance, you might actually mistake the M1 for a Björn, but there are several [...]
Carry on and on and on

Baby Bjorn lightens up
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007Baby Bjorn introduced two new products at the ABC show, a new carrier and a travel crib. The carrier is called Synergy, aptly named since it’s basically a cross between the popular Active carrier and the lightweight Air carrier. This was an excellent decision. The Active carrier has been a parent favorite because of its [...]
Peek a who?
Wednesday, August 29th, 2007Babywearing offers many, many benefits for both the baby and the caregiver, but climate control isn’t one of them. When it’s very warm, wearing a baby can be a hot, sweaty affair for everyone involved. When it’s cold, it’s a constant struggle to fit the carrier over a winter coat and keep small extremities warm.

Sheri and Isaac go to Red Castle
Saturday, September 16th, 2006Although we have not yet decided to carry the Red Castle strollers that will be available in the US, we were curious to check out their booth. Inside, we found some gorgeous stroller and car seat covers that will be very nice in the winter. We also met the Red Castle baby carrier, which is [...]
The Summertime Baby (Bjorn) Blues
Thursday, July 20th, 2006It’s summer, which is mostly good news. But if you’re toting around a newborn in a Baby Bjorn, chances are you’re driving yourself nuts about the sun. Infants younger than 6 months are not able to wear sunscreen, so keeping little babies from catching too many rays can be maddeningly difficult. Short of staying in [...]
