Baby Henry and his mom, Melissa, rented a few carriers from PAXbaby’s Sling Exchange, and wrote to tell me about their experience!

“I have received 2 of my rentals, the Scootababy and the Beco Gemini. I’m ruling out the Scootababy as the one shouldered style is just not as supportive as I need. I am loving the Gemini so far. We went to the Shedd Aquarium here in Chicago yesterday and I carried my 20 pounder with little discomfort for about 3 hours. He even fell asleep in it! (carried him on the front, facing me).

I kept an eye out for other babywearers at the aquarium yesterday, and this is what I saw:
3-4 SSC’s – plain black, don’t know what kind but they looked good (one was a back carry on a dad)
2 Jeep danglers
3-4 other danglers (Bjorn, Snugli)
2 hard frame back carriers
1 meh dai
0 ring slings
0 wraps
Many human arms
Hundreds of strollers!

I greatly appreciate all of your help and expertise…Thanks so much for your help, I’m sure you are very busy with your own life and helping out mamas like me!”

I baby wear whenever we are in Chicago. The only place I have seen a number of carriers was IKEA. But even there, still a ton of strollers. My husband says he loves seeing peoples faces when they see me carrying my now 22 month old, usually wow that looks so nice!
Awwww, Katie! That is awesome!!! My 26 month old is petite so I’m not sure people realize how old he is when he’s in my Beco, but I LOVE the extra snuggle time extended babywearing provides!!!! 😉
