BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Original
BabyBjorn is one of the most reliable names in baby carriers. You can't go wrong with this classic. This original design has all the buckles are in the front which allows for easy adjustment. The wide straps distribute the weight evenly to make carrying your baby less cumbersome, which leaves two hands free for what ever else you can manage.

Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier -Orange
I admit I never felt this confident about a wrap when my kids were infants. I just didn't trust them, although I knew plenty of moms who swore they were the best invention ever. They are a great alternative to the heavily weighted buckle covered carriers. Even better, your newborn is tucked up close to you, providing them with maximum comfort. This one will hold your child safely up to age two.

Moby Baby Wrap
Keep your baby close to you with the versatile Moby Baby Wrap. This wrap long enough to secure a snug fit, but does not have too much extra fabric between you and your baby. You can place your baby facing you or facing out. You can even place the baby securely on your back when you need to have your hands free.

Go-Go Kidz Travelmate
Traveling through an airport is challenging enough these days, add an over-excited toddler to the mix and it's enough to send any parent to the airport bar. Make your trip a little easier with the Go-Go Kidz Travelmate. It attaches easily to most toddler seats and gives you peace of mind that your toddler is safe at your side. It is lightweight and maneuvers easily for quick turns. Since the FAA recommends that children under 40 pounds use a child restraint, you'll have one less item to check.

Graco Sweetpeace Newborn Soothing Center
My middle son was by far the most difficult to get to sleep. My husband eventually became used to the midnight trips in the car but I just never warmed up to the idea. We tried putting him in his seat on the clothes dryer while it was running, but I was terrified the seat would jiggle off the top. Nothing seemed to work. I would have loved to try the Graco Sweetpeace Newborn Soothing Center. It has everything a newborn needs to feel safe and calm. There is a swaddling blanket to keep your baby warm. The vibrating feature gives your baby the feeling of safety similar to the womb. That's less dangerous than the clothes dryer!! Once your baby is settled down, both you and your baby can enjoy the Sweetpeace.

Angel Wings Metro Wrap in Savannah Rose
Baby carriers have come a long way since the days of carrying your little one on your back like cargo. Imagine a baby carrier that keeps your baby close to you, snuggled up tight and it looks good!! That's the best way to describe the Angel Wings Metro Wrap. It's practical too. You can throw it in the washing machine and dryer whenever it gets dirty. And who can resist those little angel wings on the back? So sweet.

Trunki Ride-On Suitcase at Giggle
Want to get your toddler involved when you are traveling? We think the Trunki Ride-On Suitcase at Giggle would do the trick. It can store all your child's toys for your trip, and it has a contoured shape that allows your child to rid on it while mom and dad pull. It has a low center of gravity and end stabilizers, so it will stay upright while your child is riding on it. It comes in two colors, pink and blue.

Serene Sling
Serene Sling is a new baby sling that has just arrived on the market. Already a hit in Japan, this sling is unique because it allows the mother and baby plenty of room to move while also not having any buckles or straps. As Andy is almost 3 years old, I had a good friend review the sling for me.
My friend definitely likes this sling. The instructions were easy to read and understand. It's made of a sturdy, stretchy, soft, and flexible material that she said really did allow her son to move around. She can easily walk around with it on and do her household chores with it. It also has a good air flow while still being an thicker material, so she thinks it'll be great for the summer months.
The sling is also very high quality. My friend thinks it is put together well and would last for a long time. It also came shipped very well in a box full of peanuts so it won't get damaged in transit. There are also many different color choices for the sling.
The most important part of the sling is that it comes in a few different sizes. I believe the sizes are for the parents as the sling isn't adjustable. My friend received a large, which was a little too big for her and a little small for her husband. So be careful about what size you choose. You may also need two if your spouse also wants to wear the sling and is a much different size than you are.

Peekaru by TogetherBe
When Andy was small, Peter would take him for walks around the neighborhood in the evenings to give me a break, but we had to stop once the colder weather came. If we'd owned one of these, they could have gone much longer. The Peekaru is a fleece vest that zips over a soft baby carrier that keeps both the baby and parent warm. It is much easier than worrying about blankets that can fall, and much less bulky too. It is also made from 85% recycled fleece, so it is also environmentally responsible. It is available in four sizes and five colors.
Alternatively, the company also sells a Peekaru Ozone which does the opposite, keeping the baby covered in the warm summer months so UV rays to affect him while also keeping the baby cool. Also, they have a hands free baby carrier for sale that works with both of these products.

CC3 Cozy Carrier Blanket
The CC3 Cozy Carrier Blanket Set reminds me a little of the Baby Bjorn, but much more comfortable looking. This carrier allows the baby to either face you or face away, but it's more of a sack than others I've seen. It wraps the baby in a blanket, and there's even a hood that can cover her head when she's facing you and a hat for when she faces away. Another great feature is a front pocket that is perfect for a pacifier or your keys. It fits babies up to 36 inches long, is made of 100% cotton flannel, and is available in three color combinations: charcoal/persimmon, charcoal/olive, and cream/olive. This is a great gift for anyone giving birth this fall for those cooler winter months.

The Ramalama Infant Carrier
Looking for a stylish and comfortable baby carrier? Well, the Ramalama Infant Carrier seems to fit the bill nicely. This carrier is for older babies, capable of supporting their own heads, and holds children up to 44 pounds! Made and designed in Australia, this carrier puts most of your child's weight on your hips where its most comfortable. The only complaint I have is that by putting the child to your side, your limiting the use of one of your arms. Of course, this might not be such a big deal, because that hand is still technically free.

Shearling Papoose
If you are looking for something more stylish than the Baby Bjorn, the Shearling Papoose might be a good option. This natural shearling papoose has bridle leather trim and swede lining. The st4raps are adjustable, and the shearling shoulder pads have a removable elasticized suede wrist strap. It's good for up to 22 pounds.

Lillébaby EuroTote
I had thought that I'd be taking Andy everywhere I went when he was a baby. Unfortunately I was pretty overwhelmed after giving birth and didn't leave the house much for those first few months. But if you have a happy baby who likes to be out and about, the Lillébaby EuroTote would be ideal for you. This versatile design allows you to keep him snug in the carrier while moving him from a car seat to a stroller to hanging from your shoulder. You can also put it down and open it up as a mat for your baby to play on or keep the bottom up so it works as a blanket. And it has two covers for year round use. You can use it from 8 lbs to 3 years of age.

Carrier Cover by Brooks Pond
With cooler weather coming for much of the country, it might be time to think about products like this Carrier Cover. The carrier cover will keep your baby warm and cozy in a variety of popular infant carriers including the Baby Bjorn. Its made out of heavyweight fleece, and has an integrated collar and hood. For the parents there are pockets to keep your hands warm and an interior zip pouch for your wallet and keys. And the whole thing is adjustable to keep pace with your growing baby. We didn't have to use our Baby Bjorn in the winter, as Andy had grown out of it by then. However, I always worried about keeping him warm enough in the carrier, and a cover like this would've been perfect!
