Olives and Applesauce Carrier 2/5/10

Some of you may remember that I recently purchased a Beco baby carrier. Well, I sold it. It wasn't the most comfortable and I wasn’t a fan of all the extra buckles. I purchased a Olives and Applesauce half-buckle carrier instead and it came today! Here it is…

Isn’t the print pretty? It has a hood tucked inside too, to support her head when she’s sleeping, or to keep out some of the light. We are still getting the hang of it, but it was pretty comfy for the first try! The straps are SO long though, so that will take some getting used to.

So, my baby carrier count is now 3 (MT, RS, and O&A HB), and Stephen says “why do you need more than one baby carrier, you only have one baby.” Well, as a babywearing friend told me, carriers are like purses or shoes, you need one to go with every outfit :)

I have a Babyhawk Mei Tai coming in a week or two, purchased with my overtime pay from last week. But after that no more carriers (for awhile!). I’m excited about this one though. It’s a custom reversible, floral on one side and pirate on the other. Can you see us dressed up in renn faire garb with a skull babycarrier? We’ll get Stephen babywearing somehow! 

As I write this Chelsea is drifting off to sleep in a back carry… this is why I do this :)
