Bunzi is the perfect balance bike to allow your child to learn balance at their own pace and comfort level!
It's International Babywearing Week, and to celebrate, we're participating in a huge event, that includes Giveaways, and is hosted by Happy Mothering, as well as Eco-Crazy Mom and Green Moms Media.
A new one to me is the Onya Baby Carrier. Apparently it allows traditional babywearing on your front and back – but also enables you to convert nearly any adult chair into a safe seat for your baby, and is the only carrier to do so! Plus it is good for children up to 45 pounds. Read the Happy Mothering's review here.
Mei tais are asian inspired carriers and the Kozy is one such carrier. This one features a breast cancer awareness pattern, since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This carrier is versatile with two-shoulder straps and is great for newborns through toddlers and has flexible and adjustable shoulder and waist straps that will fit most baby wearers.

The Ergobaby Organic Carrier has all the advantages of the original Ergobaby carrier, including being crafted with soft 100% certified organic cotton twill and sateen. The carrier has padded shoulder straps which helps for comfort and the waist belt is padded as well to comfortably distribute baby’s weight between your shoulders and hips. The carrier holds and cradles your baby just the way you do, with your baby’s legs properly supported in a natural sitting position.
The Catbird Baby Mei Tai Carrier is simple yet beautifully designdl. No worries about buckles or straps and no wrapping required. It has wide straps that are padded, as well as a small hood for head support and can be used for wearing babies who weight between 8 and 40 pounds in multiple carrying positions.

With comfort, style and support, the Snuggy Baby wraps have everything that you could want in a baby carrier in wrap style. This baby carrier is entirely adjustable so one size fits all. It works well between various care givers in a variety of body types. Because how you wear it is versatile you create a custom fit every time you tie it on. This allows the wrap continually 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!
