I thought I wasn’t the babywearing type. I had tried everything, or so I thought. I went through countles babies’r’us carriers, a moby x 3, Ergo, 2 different ring slings. I was frustrated and after basically giving up on being able to wear my child, I found PAXbaby.com – I found Jillian! She is so helpful, and patient. I tried the rental program, and found out that I need a Beco.

Not all carriers are made equally.

Now I am able to wear my LO, any time and all the time. I LOVE IT!   It improves my mood, when I am able to accomplish chores, and not have a baby crying at my leg.

Congratulations to Meghan in VA for being Sling Exchange‘s 100th Beco Butterfly II renter since September 2010!

PAXbaby.com

The PAXbaby moms are die hard Beco fans and have enjoyed helping so many babywearing parents find the Beco love through our Sling Exchange program!  Exploring the depths of the baby carrier world can be a harrowing ordeal, but Sling Exchange has simplified the process and offered many many babywearers the opportunity to try out the carriers first hand to see which they and their baby prefer in person.  Not having to rely on another person’s experience when making such an important decision is the key to a successful baby carrier purchase and a long lasting babywearing career!

The post Rent a Beco Butterfly! appeared first on PAXbaby.

When I first started researching better babywearing options for Baby #4, there were maybe 4 viable SSC options for me to choose from. It took me 4 months to decide on which carrier to get for my new lil’ fella and by that time, my husband had listened to hours of chatter from me regarding the different options.  How I WISH there was a Sling Exchange back then so that I could have tried all the options without the heavy commitment!  Laying out $129 for my first Beco 4th Generation seemed like a HUGE investment!  What if it didn’t fit right?  What if my baby didn’t like it?  What if I was making the wrong decision????  I agonized over the choices until finally, my husband told me we were going to pay Gabby at Beco Baby Carriers a visit and have her fit me in a Beco, and that was that!  Thank goodness he finally put an end to my misery!   Gabby was wonderful, the Beco was an instantaneous success, and we all lived happily ever after!

However, thanks to PAXbaby’s Sling Exchange, you don’t have to agonize like I did!  You don’t have to put all your eggs in 1 basket!  You can take your time, compare your top choices head to head, and make an informed decision based on wearing the carriers in person and not just relying on what other moms have to say!  Try before you buy and take the pressure off getting it right the first time!!  Being able to see each carrier’s designs with your own eyes and getting to wear each carrier and weigh the differences and similarities between each one is a fabulous way to make the decision making process that much simpler!  Now, if you fall in love with more than 1 carrier, I can’t help you there….

If you know any moms looking to invest in their first major baby carrier purchase, send them PAXbaby’s way so we can help narrow down the options and figure out which carriers would suit their needs the best!   Then, PAXbaby’s Sling Exchange is a great option so that new babywearers don’t have to take the plunge right away, but slip into our wonderful (and addicting) world of babywearing slowly, with lots of information, and hands on experience with each of the different carriers on their list!  THANK YOU for helping to spread the babywearing love!!!!

One of my favorite baby carriers has arrived at PAXbaby – AGAIN!  PAXbaby used to have these fabulous SSCs available but due to manufacturing difficulties stopped carrying them.  Now, once again, PAXbaby can proudly offer the Angelpack LX soft structured carrier as another wonderful babywearing option!

PAXbaby.com

I loved what Lindsey B. said about the Angelpack versus other brands,  “There are other baby carriers like the Baby Bjorn which has gained popularity not for its comfort or skeletal support but simply due to its common availability. I strongly urge friends, parents and grandparents not to spend another dollar on the Baby Bjorn. The Angel Pack is unparalleled in its utility and comfort (for parent and baby alike). I am spreading the awareness of this product because every baby should feel this cozy and supported and any convenience that can be offered to parents of little ones should not be kept a secret!”

PAXbaby.com

Reasons to buy and love your Angelpack Soft Structured Carrier:

PAXbaby.com

• The AngelPack company is a family run company and uses green energy & organic materials in their manufacturing.
• Angelpacks are manufactured in the owner’s home town in the Dominican Republic giving her local people jobs at fair wages and in good working conditions.
• The AngelPack baby carrier has integrated leg padding for your angel’s comfort!
• The adjustable straps will fit XS-XL women & men so you can share your Angelpack between parents and not worry about fit.
• The Angel Pack can carry newborns, toddlers (up to approx. 35lbs.), and premature babies too.
• The Angel Pack is reversible so you get two baby carriers in one!
• Wear the AngelPack as a front pack, back pack or hip pack, and be equally comfortable in every position!

PAXbaby.com

And great reasons for parents to enjoy wearing the AngelPack :

PAXbaby.com

• Stronger and closer bonding between parent and baby.
• Keeps the baby close to your heart.
• The AngelPack provides waist/hip support for the parent which is much more effective at carrying the baby’s weight.
• The AngelPack provides hands-free mobility to complete daily tasks and chores.
• The AngelPack allows for easier and discreet nursing on the go.
• You will be less dependent on heavy, cumbersome strollers.

PAXbaby.com

Fabulous reasons for babies to love being worn in an AngelPack :

PAXbaby.com

• Stronger and closer bonding between parent and baby.
• Baby gets a better view of the surroundings for sensory development.
• Baby is being carried in a seated position which means the weight of the head is dispersed to the hip, thighs and spine – much healthier for baby than hanging by the crotch, as with some other baby carriers.

PAXbaby.com

Try an AngelPack for all these reasons & more!!!!  Buy 1 or rent 1 through PAXbaby’s Sling Exchange!

A few blog posts ago, I wrote down my tips and tricks for successful babywearing in the Beco Butterfly!  I received wonderful feedback on those instructions today from Leticia:

PAXbaby.com

*I tried the Beco Butterfly II today – what a great carrier!!  At first I was very intimidated by all the buckles – I’m glad that I had your instructions, but once it is on and adjusted, it is very, very comfortable!!  I love how secure it is, and have decided that I would like a BBII instead of a Gemini.*

PAXbaby.com

Thank you to this sweet mommy for letting me know that my blog post was helpful!

*I ended up ordering the Butterfly in the beautiful Dylan print. It came in the mail yesterday (super fast shipping!). I can’t wait to try it out, its even more beautiful in person. Thank you again for your help and quick response. I will be sure to recommend your site to everyone I know. Thanks again!*

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

PAXbaby.com

PAXbaby.com

“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).

PAXbaby.com

PAXbaby.com

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!

PAXbaby.com

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!”

Glad you are loving the Gemini, Melissa!  Thanks for the great feedback!

PAXbaby’s Sling Exchange is the truly the most effective way to figure out which carrier is the PERFECT one, and our carrier rental program provides the opportunity to compare the carriers on your list head to head, to really discover which one fits more of your criteria! Choosing up to 3 carriers, allows you to make a careful, thoughtful decision, while not worrying about keeping the carriers in perfect condition!  When you jump in and buy a carrier without renting first, there is always the fear that you or your baby won’t LOVE the carrier, making it necessary to send it back to exchange for a different brand or style!  This can get pricey and stressful since the carrier needs to be returned in great condition!  However, when renting, we understand that spit up happens!  We want you to USE the carriers, and expect them to return back to PAXbaby headquarters needing a bath!

PAXbaby.com

Now, for instance, at first glance, the Boba and the Oh Snap! seem very similar, but on further investigation, you will find that the BabyHawk Oh Snap! is recommended for babies OVER 1 year old and features a head rest, more useful while wearing a toddler!  The Boba, on the other hand, is also a “toddler carrier,” but caters to babies as little as 15 pounds!  The Boba comes with a detachable sleeping hood and removable stirrups!  If you are shopping for your toddler, how will you know which carrier would suit you both the best?  By renting both first to compare!!!!

PAXbaby.com

The styles of Beco carriers are very confusing to new babywearers!  Which one to get?  Which one will be the MOST comfortable?  No one wants to choose the WRONG carrier, so renting both is an excellent idea!  The Beco Butterfly features the internal Y panel as well as the removable infant insert and sleeping hood, while the Gemini has fewer bells & whistles, but a more streamlined attitude with a head rest, and the ability to carry facing in or out, on the hip, or on your back!  How will you know which you will prefer?  By renting both to compare!

PAXbaby.com

Another carrier that is getting a lot of attention right now is the Olives & Applesauce, a gorgeous SSC with an optional internal insert, attached hood, and crossable shoulder straps!  Perhaps the best of both Beco worlds, a lot of renters are trying the O&A in addition to the Becos to see how they compare as well as the Pikkolo which is the only other SSC PAXbaby approves that has the forward facing capability!

PAXbaby.com

When I consult with babywearing moms via email, I have a list of questions that I ask that help me pick and choose which carriers would be good options!  These questions are things like your height & weight, baby’s height & weight, previous back injuries, breastfeeding in the carrier, sharing with another babywearer, and so on!  The answers help me to lead you to the PERFECT baby carrier and babywearing nirvana!  Interested in renting?  It’s super easy!  Just jump onto  PAXbaby’s Sling Exchange page, choose your carriers, and check out through the cart!  We will contact you with more information on when to expect your carriers in the mail, and what to do with them after your 2 week trial period!  Wanting to make things as easy as possible, there are no hidden costs or fees, no deposits taken, and as much help & support as you need!  PAXbaby is here to help you wear your baby successfully!

The Boba Baby Carrier debuted in September 2009 with the first generation which did not include the hood, and although the Boba 1G can still be found, the detachable foot stirrups and removable hood validates the price difference in my opinion!  Having received the JPMA safety certification in March, Boba Baby Carriers can now assure parents that their soft structured carrier meets very strict quality, safety, & functionality requirements set by ASTM!!!  And Nap Inc, the parent company behind Boba and also Sleepy Wrap, is required to test 25% of their Bobas in a certified lab and have Random Retail Testing quarterly so moms like us can be sure that Boba is a safe choice for our babies!  Thanks, Boba!!!!

Featured on the Today Show as one of parent’s best baby carrier choices, I was thrilled to see Boba on the Liz’s iVillage list as a comfortable & safe toddler carrier!  While the press has been going nuts over the recall of bag slings, this was a refreshing news article focusing on fabulous carriers.  From a mainstream point of view, it was great to see Boba listed along with Moby Wrap and the Baby Bjorn!  Wooohoooooo!!!!

Available is a range of nature-inspired colors, Boba just made their first foray into prints with their Tweet fabric custom designed for them at Spoonflower, and we are hoping that this will be the first of many vibrant Boba Limited Editions!

This is an action photo of the Tweet and I think it may be even cuter in real life than in pictures!!!

Our Tweet pre-orders have all been filled now, but if you’d like to email me, I will take your information for the next round of Tweets!  If you are in need of a fabulous soft structured carrier NOW, order a Boba Chestnut, Walnut, Pine, Cedar, Aspen, or Willow for immediate & FREE  shipping!  And if you’d like to “borrow” a Boba to see what all the fuss is about, get more information about PAXbaby’s Sling Exchange!
