It seems unlikely, judging from the picture of new dad Ryan Reynolds carrying his daughter James in a soft-structured carrier, that she stayed in this position very long: It just doesn’t look very comfortable, does it? Luckily, if a baby is uncomfortable, they’ll make sure you know about it, so we’re guessing this incorrect carry lasted just long enough ... Read More »

Should you buy an Ergobaby or Baby Bjorn baby carrier? A feature-by-feature comparison
Update 6/7/2017: The Best Baby Carriers of 2017 When I say I’m a baby carrier/ baby wearing geek I am not kidding… total nerd! I’m that lady chasing other parents down in the mall to discuss the carrier that they’re wearing. My husband really loves when I do that (← total sarcasm). I love soft structured carriers, wraps, slings, all ... Read More »

Baby Bjorn debuts new Comfort Carrier
8 years ago my daughter was a newborn and the Baby Bjorn was the “It” baby carrier, a staple on just about every baby registry (mine included). I used it and I liked it, but I wished for more support, and in warm weather, both my daughter and I would sweat bullets. My feedback wasn’t unique, and over the past ... Read More »
Hotslings AP = Always Perfect?
If 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 version offers adjustability ... Read More »
