Whiny Wednesday: BabyBjorn Organic Carrier
If you’re a new mom or mom-to-be, by now you’ve heard of BabyBjorn. I’m due next month, and I’ve been searching high and low for the perfect carrier for baby C. My search included one that not only felt super-sturdy, but looked like something that might match most of my outfits as well (bashful face). Something good for the baby’s skin? An extra plus!
Enter BabyBjorn’s new organic line. I was thrilled when the baby experts there offered to send me my very own (it comes in this beautiful Walnut!) – and now after testing it (I literally walked around the house for 30 minutes with this thing on when my MIL showed up and had to laugh), I can’t believe how much easier it is to assemble (and how much better it feels on my body) than the last sling I tried. And it’s something D. doesn’t mind wearing at all.
Rather than the Original, we chose the Active ($139.95) (we are having a boy, after all!). It has the added lumbar support and can be used for little tots up to 26 pounds (feels like he’s halfway there now, whew). And I can rest easy knowing that we’re helping the Earth just a little bit more by choosing organic cotton free of toxic pesticides and fertilizers. And I think baby C.’s worth that, too – don’t you?
