Freehand Baby Carrier

admin — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 10:43:24 +0000

Strollers, diaper bags, sippy cups, snacks – all great things, but sometimes it’s nice to travel a bit lighter. Which is why we love the Freehand Baby Carrier. The soft, sleek sling is a perfect fit for munchkins weighing 8-35lbs and moms looking for back support, close comfort and a couple of free hands. Buckle the waistband, snuggle little ones in facing you, facing out or on your back, slip the shoulder straps on and you’re good to go. We keep ours in the car for easy-peasy trips to the mall, the market and around the block. Extra bonus – the micro suede fabric and mesh liner are relatively stain resistant (drool bounces right off!) and easy to wash. $119 at togetherbe.com.
