Snuggy Baby Wrap {$56.00 value; US entries}
Snuggy Baby wraps have everything that you could want in a baby wrap; comfort, support, and style. This baby carrier is completely adjustable so one size fits all. It works between various care givers of all body types. Because you create a custom fit every time you tie it on, the wrap grows with your child, ensuring that they get a comfortable secure fit from the time that they come home until you are ready to stop carrying them (generally around 35 lbs. or 3 years). The decorative panel lets you avoid having the same old boring solid wrap that you see everywhere else, and there are many designs to choose from!

My son is happiest when he is being carried!
I love baby wearing because my baby needs it more than my first did, and my arms would not be able to take it! She doesn’t nap during the day unless she’s in the wrap. I would love the Onya because it’s able to be back or front wearing, and my husband would really love that. We are going to need something like the Onya, Ergo, or Boba for when the baby gets too big for the wrap. It won’t take long. Our babies love to eat!
I would love any of these carriers but I am most excited about the Ergo or the Boba!
i love babywearing cause i get to snuggle and be close with my baby. they wont be little forever! plus its so good for her and me! im excited about the onya carrier since its new to me.
i love being handsfree! plus dd loves being carried around, going wherever i go!
I really love the thought of having my baby close to my body when out and about. It also seems like a great inconspicuous way to breastfeed!
I work full time and have a demanding career. Babywearing makes me feel like a mom and helps me to make the most of the time that we DO have together ;(
There are so many reasons I LOVE to wear my boys! Babywearing allowed me to keep DS2 at work with me and nurse him for 14 mos. I also don’t know how parents can have more than one child without babywearing! By wearing DS2, I had my hands free to help DS1. We are able to go hiking as a family because we wear our boys.
All of these carriers are awesome but I am most excited about the Boba!
I love the mei tai style carriers. I love baby wearing because it allows you to get things done while still holding baby, settles babies that are having a hard time, and encourages attachment.
