Photo by Michele ZippBelle sent me their Organic Earth Carrier and I strapped Penelope in for a walk around Brooklyn.
And don't think I'm playing favorites by choosing Penelope instead of her twin brother, Hunter. I took him out for a walk just the other day. He was so cute, he just wanted to look up at the blue sky and feel the breeze in the little bit of hair he has on his cute little head.
My babies love when I wear them. For this walk, little Pippi fell asleep almost immediately.
My husband and I have even put the carrier on when we're in the house because it soothes them. It's also helpful when I'm alone with both babies -- I can strap a baby on but have my hands free for the other.
I also have the Baby Hawk Mei Tai and find it super-comfortable. My husband loves his Baby Bjorn so much, he won't let me wear it because the straps are positioned perfectly for him and he doesn't want me adjusting anything.
Belle's carriers start at $99.95 and the "Pure" line is made with 100% rich Romanian hemp and cozy organic cotton fleece. All are made in the USA -- Boulder and Denver, Colorado, to be exact -- and feature fabrics that are undyed and all-natural. Machine-washable -- of course. Plus, this carrier also straps around the waist so it's easier on your back.
Are you a baby-wearer too? What's your favorite carrier?

I didn't use one with my daughter but my sister is sending me her baby bjorn so I can actually get things done with a 3 year old and a new born
Awwww you have made me long for the days when I would wear Keara. I would strap her on when I was cleaning the house or making dinner or pretty much anything. She loved it.
You look fantastic by the way.
Ohhh SO nice! I plan on babywearing/carrying the next LO but I have NO idea what kind I am going to get.
i am a baby wearer, i don' have the best carrier around, i have an infantino that rides up my shoulder, but i'm planning on making it work and carry Yoko around as much as possible until she fits on the stroller. i do want a bjorn, might get it soon if i beg hubby lol =-)
The two baby carriers or slings we use are Didymos Slings and Rockin' Baby slings. Both are available in organic fabrics, which I feel is very important for baby.s. Using an organic baby carrier, wrap or sling helps me avoid putting my little one in contact with more harmful chemicals and pesticides. If you are looking to pick up an organic baby carrier or sling, I suggest trying http://www.organicbabycarriers.net/. They have a number of options. Also, you can googlearound and find other options that might be a good fit for you. DIdymos are some of the most expensive organic baby carriers, but of the best quality.
I love my moby. I try to buy organic as much as possible since you never know what pesticides are lingering on baby's clothes, sheets, and whatnot.
