Scootababy - Natural, Comfortable & Hands Free Carrying
If you read TOP regularly (and why wouldn’t you?) you know we’re all dedicated child wearers. There’s no shortage of great carriers out there, and each one serves it purpose and different carriers work for different people.
For the last few days I’ve been wearing my new Scootababy and have fallen in love. So has my 2 year old son. When it arrived, my baby was sleeping and he, who hasn’t been worn in almost a year because he’s refused since he learned to walk and became Mr. Independent, insisted in hopping right in. For being a 35 pound kid, he was surprisingly easy to carry! And it’s a good thing because he now considers it his so I haven’t had a chance to try it with my little one yet. When I want to wear her, she’s in the Ergo because he’s staked his claim on the new one.
The Scootababy, designed by babywearing mama Audra Meng, has a very comfortable padded waist strap that places most of the child’s weight on your hips and an easily adjustable shoulder strap with a fleece insert on the section that’s actually on your shoulder so there aren’t any of the usual pressure points that you often feel with a one sided carrier. It was notably easy to get on. Simply fasten the waist belt, pick up your child in their natural position at your hip and flip the body of the carrier up behind them. The shoulder strap then pops over their head and yours, and you can easily adjust it to support your child and be comfortable for both of you. Nothing to it!
It’s made of sturdy black denim, with your choice of a fleece or cotton liner, matches any outfit (like that matters when you’re that comfortable) and is machine washable.
I especially like the comfortable side carry position. It feels very natural and yet takes no effort to carry even a large child. I have other carriers, such as the Ergo, which allow for a side carry position but it takes so much work to adjust the straps that I never bother. It’s front, back, or not at all. Sometimes, though, the back isn’t ideal and you need the space in front of your belly for other things (and, honestly, once they hit a certain weight they don’t feel great centered in the front). With the Scootababy, it’s just like picking up your child as you always would, but they’re infinitely lighter and your hands are free. I love it!
Win it! Audra is giving one lucky TOP reader their very own Scootababy carrier, valued at $107! The winner will have their choice of the fleece or cotton jellybean lining. To enter, leave a comment on this post telling us why you want it. Contest closes April 14, 2008.

I think it is such a safe way to work while haolding your child
April 7th, 2008 at 8:44 am
nice and safe
April 7th, 2008 at 9:00 am
I’d like this for a friend.
April 7th, 2008 at 9:19 am
It seems great! I want it because I have a new baby and I love that this keeps a lot of weight on your hips instead of a lot of pressure at the shoulders and back. Also, I love that it works well for bigger kids too, and allows for a side carry! Thank you for the great giveaway/contest. The carrier looks amazing!
April 7th, 2008 at 9:28 am
Wow, this carrier sounds fantastic! I love the idea of having my hands free to carry out the many daily tasks while having my little sweetie next to me. Also, I’d be able to better protect her and keep her close while walking, shopping (etc.) when we’re living in/visiting various countries in Africa.
April 7th, 2008 at 9:29 am
i would love to win this carrier, my son is 11 months old i have the baby bajorn but he is getting to big for it now and it hurts my back. this one looks like it would be a great one to carry my son who is 22lbs. Please pick me i could really use this:) Thanks
April 7th, 2008 at 9:57 am
I would really like this because my brother and his wife are expecting their first child. I want to give them something really nice and useful. I’m a recent college graduate and I don’t have much money to spend. Winning such a great prize would allow me to give them a great gift and keep my head above water financially.
April 7th, 2008 at 10:04 am
I would love this for my new baby so I have my arms free to help and play with my five year old twins!
April 7th, 2008 at 10:17 am
I also have the Ergo and agree that the side carry is inconvenient - it would be great to have an easy-to-use side-carrier.
April 7th, 2008 at 10:18 am
I would love to win this carrier! We have a new baby in the family; a little girl born prematurely 3/19, weighing in at 2 lbs. 8 0z. She is a fighter, though, and has already gained up to 3 lbs. 8 oz. - one whole pound! I think this would be a great carrier for her. Thanks so much for a great chance to win!
April 7th, 2008 at 10:58 am
I’m due 11/08 and this would be nice to have. Looks safe and durable.
April 7th, 2008 at 10:59 am
I HAVE A VERY ACTIVE 3 1/2 YEAR OLD BOY AND NEED TO HAVE SOME FREE HANDS TO CHASE HIM DOWN WITH. I AM DUE IN JUNE AND WOULD LOVE TO USE THIS FOR EITHER CHILD. THANKS SO MUCH FOR A CHANCE TO WIN.
April 7th, 2008 at 11:05 am
I actually don’t, but my sis-in-law just had her third and she would definitely use this.

My 2 year old always wants to be carried and I find it just takes a toll on me. Anything to help would be welcomed.
April 7th, 2008 at 11:43 am
My youngest loves to sit on my hip while I am working around the house. This would be such a blessing for both of us… I wouldn’t have to switch sides because my arm got tired! I like the cotton/jelly bean lining.
April 7th, 2008 at 11:43 am
I would love to try this out. My 24 pound 16 month old can be heavy to tote around, and she is not content to ride in a stroller for very long. Something like this would probably be a great compromise for both of us.
April 7th, 2008 at 11:44 am
I would love to try this carrier because my baby won’t let me put him down! He’s starting to become more interested in looking around and this looks like a great carrier to help me cart him around and keep him happy while i’m doing it!
April 7th, 2008 at 11:44 am
I bought a sling for my baby girl who is 9 months but it’s not convenient and my shoulder and back hurt when I use it. I would really like to win this so I can carry my 9 month old around with comfort. Thanks for the great give away!
April 7th, 2008 at 11:46 am
Well, with out third due this October we have never owned a carrier!! With two other girls, I would love to have this for some hands free time!! Thanks so much!!
April 7th, 2008 at 11:49 am
i want to win this because i have a 4 month old and this would help me carry him around and chase my 3 yr old and 1 1/2 yr old around. i hate having to put him down every five minutes to get my girls out of something.

April 7th, 2008 at 12:02 pm
Oh my goodness I want and NEED this! Carrying my daughter around is so hard. She was 20 pounds by six months and I’ve never had a hip carrier. This would be so perfect to carry her around without killing my back!

This would be great to carry my son in. Looks safe and comfy!
April 7th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
I want this carrier because a) I love wearing my little guy. I wasn’t sure I would, but oh my goodness, it makes both of us happy and it makes everything easier (commuting to daycare on the subway, getting household tasks done, soothing him, getting him to sleep…..). b) It looks like a quality carrier that will work for us. We have a Maya, a Bjorn, and an Ergo; the Ergo is hands down my favorite (my partner likes the other two) and this looks like a great tweak to the Ergo style. Thanks for the opportunity!!

What a great carrier design! It looks like it would be perfect for both my husband and I to use from birth (in a couple months) til our baby is a few years old.
April 7th, 2008 at 12:22 pm
I like this because it looks like it distributes the weight well.
April 7th, 2008 at 12:55 pm
I want this to carry my littlest princess. she wants to be carried all the time and it is hard to carry her and push a stroller at the same time

I currently have a ring sling and Snugli that I lend out to new mothers to help adjust to life while carrying a baby and see what works well for them. I would love to expand my selection since every mother has different needs and preferences. And to be quite honest, I would get much use out of it too when my next one is born
April 7th, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Oh wow this carrier sounds great! I would love to have it because it sounds really comfortable and easy to use. I have an Ergo and a traditional Mei Tai and both of them take a lot of adjusting. I love them both for different reasons, and for different children, but don’t use them as much as I would like because they aren’t super easy to put on. The Scootababy sounds perfect!

I’d love to try babywearing again. I tried a carrier when we first adopted our son, but found it very uncomfortable. This one sounds great - and would work even though my “baby” now weighs 23 lbs! Thanks

April 7th, 2008 at 2:33 pm
I have been wanting a carrier for my almost-toddler for a while now..I’ve been using a sling for hip carries and have thought about upgrading to a Beco or Ergo, but this has features that I appreciate even more. I am going to need to be hands-free often again and this looks like it could carry him as he gets bigger, and I love the versatility of back/front/hip carry.
It looks like it would be very easy to adjust and to store…does it roll up easily?

I would love to try this carrier. My baby always wants me to carry him, and
with him now being 20 lbs it hard to do. Thanks for the chance.
April 7th, 2008 at 2:44 pm
Daughter is expecting first grandchild and she could really use this.
April 7th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
This would be perfect for a new mom-to-be I know. She already has a school age and a preschooler so this would be perfect for all she has to do for her family.
April 7th, 2008 at 2:54 pm
I’d love to win one of these just for the simple fact that I never have enough hands to get things done. We all know babies need to be held and kept close, but that gets difficult when you need to keep up with the housework! This would be a helpful solution to get both done at the same time!
Thanks!

April 7th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
My little one has outgrown my little sling and I am looking for a new way to carry her around. Having back difficulties, this looks like it would distribute the weight better so I wouldn’t get pain to one side or the other like with the sling.
April 7th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
I would love this carrier for myself. It would be a lifesaver for me. My 8 month old daughter is 25 pounds and refuses to be put down. I carry her around everywhere! This carrier would save my arms and back and would allow me to get more done around the house. Thanks!
April 7th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
I would love this because I have a 2 year old son and expecting my daugther this fall. I’ll need all the help I can get!
April 7th, 2008 at 3:18 pm
I would love to win this for my boyfriend’s sister. She is expecting her second child and I would love to give this to her. Thank You for the contest.
April 7th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
I’d love to try this! I used a sling with my daughter until she got too heavy. Now I use a BabyHawk, but it takes a while to put on. This one looks quick and easy!
April 7th, 2008 at 3:26 pm
I would love to win this baby carrier because other ones I have tried have just not worked for me! This one sounds really comfortable. I looks really durable, too!
April 7th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
I would like to try this. It seems great because of its ergonomic features. Thank you for hosting this contest. Please enter my name in the draw.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Oh I would LOVE this! I’ve been looking at slings and carriers, since I’m pregnant with bun #2. It’s difficult to choose between them, but this one looks so much more comfortable than most! And I like that it’s easy to put on!
Thanks for the giveaway.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
I want it for my friends’ newborn son.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:13 pm
I’d love to try the the Scootababy! I have a 22 month old and a 7 month old and I’m always carrying one of them-this would be so helpful!
April 7th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Baby wearing is wonderful, but sometimes complicated to achieve with a lot of the carriers on the market. This one looks really easy to use.
Thanks for the giveaway.
April 7th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
I would love this because it looks so secure. I have a baby and a 2 year old and I need any baby carrier to hold the baby very securely because I end up chasing the 2 year old all over and sometimes holding him as well
April 7th, 2008 at 4:43 pm
I LOVE he jellybean print.
I need this because I have a 27 pound 10-month-old who is worn almost all the time. She rarely consents to use the stroller and, even less often, sit in a shopping cart. She’s too heavy for our Moby wrap (it stretches too far, and she slides down), and our Maya sling is a bit difficult these days. We just can’t get it to work well; she’s too wiggly. Our big backpack carrier works great but is too bulky to use at stores and the like. We really need a better option.

I am tired of doing the stroller fight with my little one. I see women on the street with carriers and their children look so content!!! Maybe it will work for us….
April 7th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
I’m a recent convert to baby wearing and I love it (and my baby adores it)! But my back is starting to hurt from the sling but I don’t want to stop wearing her and this seems like the perfect solution! Thank you for such a great contest.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
I would love one of these for the new baby coming this summer, and that jellybeans inside print is too great! Please enter me!
April 7th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
I have tried my best to love the ergo, but I can’t get my increasingly heavy son in it by myself. This looks like a great alternative!

April 7th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
After seven months, I have finally accepted the fact that my high-needs baby is going to be bodily attached to me for some time to come…he hasn’t outgrown his need to be carried around all day as everyone said he would by now, and I don’t think he’s going to any time soon. The problem is he’s a big guy who’s about to outgrow his Baby Bjorn, which puts serious stress on my back these days anyway. I’m looking for a new carrier that’s comfortable for both of us and easy to get on/off and the Scootababy looks like the perfect solution! If I were lucky enough to win, I’d choose the cotton lining since we live in a hot climate. Thanks for the chance at the great giveaway!
April 7th, 2008 at 5:36 pm
I’d love this for my 2 week old son, as he constantly wants to be held and carried and my arms are getting tired! He also doesn’t like the baby sling, so this kind of carrier may soothe him more. Thanks!
Kathleen W.’s last blog post..Soren Josef has finally arrived!
April 7th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
I would LOVE to have this because I am also a dedicated babywearer, but as my little guy is getting heavier, its getting increasingly harder to carry him with the pouch sling, and Moby Wrap that I have. Buying a new one is just not in the budget right now, but I am going to really miss carrying my baby and the closeness it brings which is why I am still KILLING my back trying to make it work with the sling and wrap! LOL!
April 7th, 2008 at 5:44 pm

April 7th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
I would use this to carry my youngest while chasing my oldest.
April 7th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
I used a Moby all the time with my daughter when she was younger and loved it. As she got nigger it has not worked well, so I tried a Mei Tei - but it is not very convenient and I have only used it a few times with her on my back. I would love to carry her again, especially when we travel, or when I am trying to get things done around the house. She is 21 months and 25 lbs and this like a great solution.
Thanks
April 7th, 2008 at 5:52 pm
I would love to have this sling because my nieces love to be carried. We will go on walks and the oldest says she will walk the whole way. 1 block into our walk she is too tired to keep walking. I am always carrying her.

I love this carrier. I have a Patapum that I adore but it is not able to be used in the side carry position. With 1 yr old twins, it is so helpful to carry one while out and about. That way I only have to worry about one getting away from me. This looks like a great carrier to use as my babies get bigger.

I want one of these because I have twin infants and although I have pouches; they are made for larger people and my babysitter is little so she can’t use them. I would love for her to be able to “wear” my girls during the day. Thanks for the opportunity.
April 7th, 2008 at 9:39 pm
I need because my arms are getting so tired because I carry her around so much! And, I am the only one around during the day so I need to be able to do things with her with me and this would be more than helpful! Thank you!
April 7th, 2008 at 9:53 pm
I would love to try a hands free carrier. I have a sling, but I have to keep one hand on the baby the whole time or she’ll fall out.
April 7th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Two reason why I need this great thing…it is safe and will hold my wiggly baby and i need to keep up with my crazy three-year old. Having my 9 month baby on my hip would be so much easier

I don’t just want this carrier - I need it! My 2-year-old is very shy in public and will not let me put her down. And she’s getting just way too heavy for me to carry easily - especially with 2 other kids to keep track of. The best part is that this carrier goes up to 40 pounds, which is more than the others that I’ve seen.

because my grandson would enjoy it.

I’m entering this contest on behalf of my friend Megan. She recently moved to Saskatchewan with her husband for a job opportunity that dried up when they got there. At nine months pregnant, coming home isn’t an option and they used most of their savings to get there anyway. They are currently living with her husband’s parents while he searches for work and money is very tight. Every good mom wants to give her child the very best of everything and Megan is no exception. It has saddened her greatly to not be able to. It would be nice if she could give her baby (and herself) this.
April 8th, 2008 at 3:49 am
These look easy enough to install- even I could do it
April 8th, 2008 at 4:28 am
this might give my back a break when the grandson comes to visit
April 8th, 2008 at 4:38 am
Id like to win it because it would be alot easier to carry my daughter with a Scootababy then without one. She is at a stage where all she wants is for me to carry her and its tough to get stuff done around the house.
April 8th, 2008 at 4:39 am
I love the idea of a comfortable baby carrier. I am currently pregnant and reading lots about the value of carrying your child rather than using a stroller and I’m completely sold on the idea. These carriers look great and I’d definately consider using one.

I would LOVE to win this so I can carry the little African orphans when I travel to do volunteer work. I just can’t get the hang of the wraps my hosts use!

Hello, I’d love to win this to carry around my 21 month old while I’m pregnant with baby #4 and then to use it with the baby after.
April 8th, 2008 at 6:15 am
I have sctuslly come across these slings before while researching different kinds of baby carriers online. I like this one because it is hip carrier first of all…and I also love the buckles…making it easy and fast to get together and get the baby in. I would love to win! Thanks for the contest!!!!

I would love to win this for my sister. She has been taking care of 2 children for a friend who made some bad choices. I take my hat off to her. Her own children are 26 and 14. I could not imagine two babies on top of that for over a year. Our kid’s things have long since been passed on down the line and she does not have money for things such as this. This prize would be such a blessing for her. Thank you so much for the chance to win!
April 8th, 2008 at 6:20 am
I just want it
April 8th, 2008 at 6:20 am
I’d love this because my girlfriend’s having a shower in July and it would definitely be a unique gift!
April 8th, 2008 at 6:27 am
I would love to have one to use with my 6 month old daughter!
April 8th, 2008 at 6:27 am
This is a terrific carrier! I would love the jellybean one! We are constantly going to and from and around many sporting events and it would be so handy (or hands free!) to be able to safely hold my 1 1/2 year old son so that both of us are comfortable and he isnt running around hockey rinks and soccor fields! My current carrier is uncomfortable to hold him in now so this would be ideal!
April 8th, 2008 at 6:29 am
subscribed! Hopefully it is my lucky day!
April 8th, 2008 at 6:53 am
I need a side carrier to help me alleviate the backpain
that my bjorn is giving me!!
April 8th, 2008 at 6:58 am
Wow! What a blessing for all mothers. I would love to have one of them, my 4 months is really heavy to carry her in my hands, and husband not always near. And another one — almost 2 years old, just “in love” with mom’s hands.
April 8th, 2008 at 7:03 am
Ive got a new grandson an a grandaughter due in July so we sure could use this so much,so please count me
April 8th, 2008 at 7:07 am

I would love one of these for a friend who is having her first baby, it would seem the easiest way for her to realize how fantastic baby wearing is.

I’d love to win this for my sister, I’ve always used a sling or bjorn and now she’s having babies but my carriers are just too worn out! This one looks fabulous!
April 8th, 2008 at 7:25 am
I have three kids two years old and under. I only have two hands and so I’m quite outnumbered - this lovely carrier would help my ratio of hands to kids substantially.
April 8th, 2008 at 7:27 am
I am expecting my first at the end of June. I could really use this.
April 8th, 2008 at 8:03 am
Great contest! Enter me please
April 8th, 2008 at 8:10 am
i would love to win this! i have a 2 year old who loves to be held or run away from me, but its getting a bit difficult holding her AND holding my 6 month old little girl. i believe that if i were to have this, i might have more hand free and not worry about putting down a 2 year old who will run into the middle of the street if shes put down.
April 8th, 2008 at 8:33 am
I would love to have this! My second son is 11 months old, and slightly delayed. He just started crawling, and is no where near walking. This would allow me to keep up with my 3 1/2 year old without killing my arms and back carrying the little one!
April 8th, 2008 at 8:36 am
Mine is a story of goldilocks and the three bears. I’ve tried the Bjorn…not comfortable for me, even when my son was a newborn. The Moby Wrap…too complicated and I never felt like my son was entirely secure in it. Now that my little big guy is pushing 28 pounds, I’d like to carry him more, but I am wary about plopping more money down for another carrier that gets left in the closet because it isn’t the right fit, isn’t easy to use or my son isn’t comfortable in it. My son is definitely a hip-only kind of guy–doesn’t want to be behind me, nor in front of me, he wants to be on my hip so he can look me square in the eye and we can share a moment together. And frankly when I carry him in my arms on my hip, it’s just more comfortable for me. I want to give child wearing another try with the right carrier. And this could very well be the carrier that’s just right for us. That’s why I want it.
April 8th, 2008 at 8:45 am
Would love to win because I dont have a carrier yet and have been eying slings, wondering which is best. Your review of the ergo benefits and ease of use is fantastic, thanks!
April 8th, 2008 at 8:47 am
I could really use this!
April 8th, 2008 at 8:49 am
Yes I will.
April 8th, 2008 at 8:56 am
I would love one of these for carrying around my 25 lb 10 month old! Thanks for entering me.
April 8th, 2008 at 9:06 am
Great giveaway! Who wouldn’t want this?! The design and support it has looks great!
April 8th, 2008 at 9:06 am
I love this idea! We’ve been wearing our baby since he was an infant. Now that he’s approaching 2 he has been worn less and less… Other carriers just don’t feel comfy any longer- for him or for us- but he still wants to be held. This looks like the perfect solution! Thanks so much for presenting it here.
April 8th, 2008 at 9:15 am
I try to help mothers of limited income
April 8th, 2008 at 9:56 am
I am having a baby in September and would love to win!
April 8th, 2008 at 10:02 am
Becuase my little man is heavy and it looks like this one wouldn’t kill my shoulders!
April 8th, 2008 at 10:08 am
This will help my skinny little daughter in law! Especially now that she’s dealing with 2 little ones.
April 8th, 2008 at 10:13 am
To give to a friend
THANK YOU GOD BLESS
April 8th, 2008 at 10:46 am
My 17 month old want “uppie” all day long. I would love to be able to hold him close without losing my hands for doing other things. This would be wonderful!
April 8th, 2008 at 11:05 am
We’re expecting in May and still need a carrier for me (dad).
April 8th, 2008 at 11:34 am
This would be prefect for vacuuming, throwing the ball with the dogs and anything else where I could use a third arm!
April 8th, 2008 at 11:34 am
I am always looking for a great carrier. Connor is starting to outgrow my old ones and I love the fact this one goes to 40lbs! We would love to have it in cotton!
I blogged your contest on Prize-a-Tron!

My 10 month old likes me to carry her on my hip and it’s too much fuss for me to set my Becco up that way.
April 8th, 2008 at 11:50 am
I want this b/c you’ve made it sound so easy to carry an older child, too!

I want to be able to give this as a gift to my sister who is expecting her first child this year.
April 8th, 2008 at 12:13 pm
I love wearing my son. He has outgrown the carrier that we have now. i would love to give this a try.
April 8th, 2008 at 12:14 pm
I like that the child’s weight is on your hips not your back, and how nice to have your hands free!
April 8th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
I want this because I have neck and arm problems and I’m not able to hold my niece’s baby. I think I could hold her with this!
April 8th, 2008 at 1:50 pm
I’d love to win this based on your great review of it! If you can carry your son around in it then this would work for Kayla too
and I would have it for when Lucas grows bigger as well. I know I’ll want something for side-carrying.

I want it for my grand daughter. waht a neat way to take her along when we hop or visit the zoo!
April 8th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
My best freind had a baby this would be great
April 8th, 2008 at 2:36 pm
This is the best carrier I have seen. Unfortunately I cannot afford one, so I would love to win it!!
April 8th, 2008 at 2:41 pm
This would make a great gift for my pregnant sister-in-law!
April 8th, 2008 at 3:04 pm
nice and safe
April 8th, 2008 at 4:10 pm
i am pregnant with first kid- would love to have this
April 8th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
this would be a very handy product to have.
April 8th, 2008 at 5:54 pm
The Scootababy seems like a great carrier for an older baby. My 10-month old is getting too heavy for the Bjorn and this would be a terrific replacement.
April 8th, 2008 at 6:26 pm
I’d love to give this to a friend for the birth of her first grandchild.
April 8th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
I could really use this because I will have my new granddaughter and 3 year-old granddaughter while their mother is at work. Please count me in. thanks!!
April 8th, 2008 at 7:47 pm
I just had a baby and my three year old is always on the go at the park/playground and I can’t follow in the stroller and it leaves me limited what parks I can take them both to, so this would give me the freedom I need.
April 8th, 2008 at 8:03 pm
What a great product!
April 8th, 2008 at 8:12 pm
I love that the Scootababy is hands-free and shifts the baby’s weight from my arms and back to my hips. It looks very comfortable. Thanks for the giveaway!
April 8th, 2008 at 8:37 pm
I am an avid believer in keeping babies close! : )

I want it because I lost my wrap 2 months ago, and I still have a baby to carry. It’s killing me, but I can’t find it anywhere. I’ve turned my house upside down more than once, but no matter how much shaking I do, I can’t find it.

we have 5 month old twins. and my husband is active duty military, and gone ALOT. i have had to deal on my own…
i have yet to find a carrier comfortable enough to use for our needs… based on the reviews, this seems like an excellent carrier… we love baby wearing, but the girls are getting bigger and we really need to upgrade…
April 8th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
This sounds like a great product and I would love it for my new grandbaby!
April 8th, 2008 at 11:05 pm
I WANT IT! because I have yet to find a comfortable way of holding my son, and this seems like the perfect solution!!!
April 8th, 2008 at 11:08 pm
My wife and I would love one to carry our son in because ours just broke and this looks like a comfortable solution.
April 8th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
My grandson would adore this because he always seems to be squirming in the one I have right now!
April 9th, 2008 at 12:01 am
My son is having their first child so I need all the baby gear and mommy to be items, that I can win to help them out and make me the greatest grammy….
So Please be kind and help this unemployed granny out..
Thank you for offering such unique and awesome gifts to win…
April 9th, 2008 at 3:13 am
it looks nice
April 9th, 2008 at 6:58 am
We would love one of these, as we do not have one of our own. We are borrowing one from a friends but need to give it back. We have 2 daughters, one almost 2, and one 2 1/2 months. We could really use one of our one to carry our kids, and have them close.
April 9th, 2008 at 7:06 am
I would like this for my God child. So nice.
April 9th, 2008 at 7:33 am
What a great giveaway! I love to carry my son in a sling (I’ve used the Moby and the Ergo carrier, mostly), and am hoping to have a second child soon and would love a new sling! Especially one that I could use in conjunction with one I already have!

I would love to have this carrier! I made a sling carrier for myself but have never felt comfortable with it. I feel like I’m squishing my baby. I’ve borrowed the moby wrap from my sister in law and it takes forever to set up. This looks easy and comfortable for both of us! I’d be able to get out of the house again!
