This past Saturday we went to the library where they have the Babywearers meetings. We have been checking out different baby carriers before we decide to buy one. We have tried the Moby wrap, liked it alright when she was a newborn but it took time to get all wrapped up and it was super hot. Then we have a Snugli which worked great when she was not as heavy but it puts quite a bit of stress on your bag once they get biggger. So we went to return one carrier and check out another.
This library has an AWESOME kids room right in the middle of the whole library with windows all around so parents can always see their kids. It has baby board books at a perfect level for babies to get at, puppets, computers, and lots of toys.

We took Brooklyn in there and an older little girl was playing with the puppets putting on a show for some of the younger ones. It was adorable and Brooklyn was enthralled. She laughed and wanted to get up close and personal the whole time.

SO CUTE! I wish we had a room like that at the library here.
ReplyDeleteI made a wrap for us to use out of black gauze (similar to the Moby wrap, but a lighter, more breathable material) which we loved but it definitely doesn't last forever as the kids get bigger. We have an Ergo and we love it! It is really comfortable, Charlie fits in snuggly but not squished against me, it is great. They're pricey ($100+... I should disclose that we got ours as a gift and probably wouldn't have purchased one otherwise) but now that we've tried it, we recommend it to everyone as a worthwhile investment. I'm interested to hear what you choose!
ReplyDeleteThe Ergo is actually what we checked out this month :) We've tried an Olives and Applesauce one and a Boba as well. So far it's a toss up between an Ergo and Boba. The buckle up top on the Olives and Applesauce one would slide down so that when you had baby all set and were ready to buckle up you couldn't reach them so I didn't like that plus I don't think Brooklyn was as comfortable as she was in the Boba. I love that the Ergo has the pocket in front to stash things. I loved that the Boba had foot straps so when your child gets older they can rest their feet and their legs don't get heavy. We've only taken the Ergo out once so far on a short walk so we will have to test it on a long hike to get the verdict.
DeleteOh my goodness, that is so adorable! LOVE that little peanut!
