Baby Gear Guide

Baby Slings, Wraps, Carriers, etc.?

I have no experience with any of these except the standard carriers you wear on the front like a reverse backpack, and that isn’t working for this little girl! My daughter is 6 weeks old and only sleeps when she is on my lap and will nurse for very long amounts of time. [...]

Advice or opinions about baby carriers (reviews?)?

Hi. My SO and I are doing the pre-baby shopping and having a hard time finding the right carrier. I guess we want one that does it all and is ergonomically friendly. Maybe that’s too much to ask? We would prefer to be able to carry baby in front, on our backs, [...]

Baby Wins a Backpack - Excitement Overload

Yeah…I think he was just in shock about winning that backpack. Just couldn’t think of a proper award speech, that must have been it. Here we are at Fiestas Patrias in Irving, TX on September 10, 2006.

Do I still need to give her a gift at her baby shower?

I’m co-hosting a baby shower for a friend who is having twins. It is a couple’s shower, and I’m hosting along with 3 other women. I have 2 kids and I’m giving my friend all of our hand-me-downs. She wants them, I checked first. I’m giving her a 0 bassinet, 0 Graco [...]

What’s the best baby sling?

What is your favorite “baby-wearing” sling?

I am looking into getting a new one, my son is almost 1. I have gone through three different slings/carriers, he outgrew some of them, the others were hard on my back. Had a front carrier sling when he was an infant, then switched to the backpack styles (like Bjorn), but now I am looking [...]

How come I never see anyone use a sling or carrier?

I think it would be easier than lugging the car seat everywhere. When I say carrier, I am referring to the "backpack" things that keep the baby close to the body. They can go on your stomach, not your back, but I have never seen anyone use one.

Kelty Redwing 3100 2009 Review

This is a great backpack. I like to stretch my dollar where I can and this bag fits the bill. It can replace an old large bag that does not have great utilization. This bag is plenty big for a night or maybe two for the weekend warrior (depending on how you pack). Also, check [...]
