True. As a Mom (or Dad) you will: a.) need to carry your cute little baby and b.) need to do something else important else at the same time. Happily... inevitable.
Petunia Pickle Bottom has designed a very snazzy, high stylin' & totally utilitarian range of front carriers. Front carriers are easy to use and are versatile enough to use until baby is 22 lbs.
Bonus? All the Sightseer (fabric print, above left) carriers are made with organic cotton while the Walkabout (felt, above right) uses handsome wool felt.

It's true. Some babies will not lie on a flat, stationary surface (think cribs & bassinets) and peacefully sleep. These babes need the constant soothing motion & coziness of the womb. I know this quite well, my firstborn was such a baby that never chilled out unless he was snuggled in & moooooooving.
This is why the Hushamok Baby Hammock is absolutely brilliant -- it's been designed to mimic a womb like environment. Which is gold for parents whose baby is not down with being static. The Hushamok Leafspring reproduces a gentle rhythmic, gently rocking motion which helps babies sleep better and longer.
Bravo!
Icing on the cake?
- The whole Hushamok Dream Hammock Set is lightweight & portable (even comes with it's own travel bag!)
- The Hammock & the fitted sheets are made from 100% Turkish organic cotton. Organic!
- Versatility? Of course. The Hushamok Organic Myseat uses the same stand to create a cozy little seat to sooth & comfort your little one during the day.

We love Kokopax. Not only has Kokopax brought back the classic frame style carrier for the everyday, but they've brought it back in extreme style.
New for 2010, Kokopax has launched 2 new carrier styles (in addition to their "classic" carrier): the Eco Carrier and the City Carrier. While the differences between the carriers are subtle (strap style, fabric content) the purpose remains the same: keep baby happy and your hands free as you breeze through daily life.
