I purchased the Kelty Kids Elite for my husband.  He wanted to carry the baby at the zoo and on hikes, but did not want to were a "girly" carrier.The Kelty Kids Elite weighs in at seven pound.  It is for children six months old and up.  It is carried as a backpack and has harness supports for the wearer at the chest and at the waste.  You can easily go from one wearer to another with the adjustability of the harnesses.The Elite also has a Kids backpack attached.  this is great for bringing along diapers and wipes.  The backpack also has a long range o...

I got my Moby D Wrap when my son was about a week old. It has been wonderful! WHAT EXACTLY IS A MOBY D WRAP??? The Moby D Wrap is basically a really long piece of fabric that you tie around yourself (they give you instructions), then by placing baby inside the “pockets” (made by the way you’ve wrapped/tied yourself), you can carry baby in a variety of ways. One base or basic tie allows you to carry your baby in a number of different positions…(cradle, forward facing, inward facing). No pressure points are created like most baby carrier...

My mother in law bought this for me when my son was born, and it has been a life saver on many occasions. Sometimes I'll need to go grocery shopping alone with the baby, and run into this problem; I only have one pair of hands, so I can't push both a stroller and the grocery cart at the same time.. and using the infant seat (I have the KeyFit 30, which is too big to use in the child seat of the cart) would take up too much room in the grocery cart.

When I had my first baby, I dabbled in baby wearing. Baby wearing is the practice of wearing or carrying a baby or child in a sling or other carrier. When I had my second baby, it was necessary to baby wear much more often because it allowed me to be close to the baby but keep my hands free for the toddler. Thankfully my sister-in-law gave me her Maya Lightly Padded Ring Sling. The ring sling is a size medium. The medium fits most women who are 5'2" to 5'9". The sling is a denim color and made of 100% cotton. The wrap is machine washable but must be line dried. The Ma...

I have searched high and low for the perfect baby backpack carrier, and now I found it. This backpack carrier from Evenflo is a dream come true. I have horrible back pain and this is the only one I have tried that distributes the weight across my back and not in one place. My son who is almost two and very big for his age fits nicely inside the backpack and enjoys watching people as we go on walks or out to a family hiking location. There is a great amount of padding and the shoulder straps provide much needed support. There is a convenient waist pouch to store keys or anything else a mommy...
