Cybex 2.Go Combines Best of All Baby Carriers
Wear your baby in style! Though Baby Bjorn made carriers mainstream, companies like Ergo, LilleBaby and Belle, not to mention all of the sling manufacturers, have given mothers many options.
When we took our first look at the European import Cybex last Spring, we were interested in the 2.Go baby carrier – a cross between the Baby Bjorn and Ergo that comes in bright colors.
Krazy For Kokopax Carrier!
My weekly trip to the grocery store can be harried with a two-year-old and an infant, but if I can put one of them on my back then life is easier. When Kokopax sent us a backpack to review, I jumped at the opportunity to test it out and lighten my load. A fan of the classic Baby Bjorn, I wasn't sure that Kokopax would make chores any simpler than the front baby carrier.
10 Sassy Slings
Slings are by no means a new invention — women have been strapping their children to their sides for ages as it provides closeness, comfort and ease. Straight out of the womb, most wee ones crave being held tight or swaddled as it reminds them of their embryonic stage. Aside from the encircled fabrics providing a place for baby, they offer a mother support to go about her business while keeping an eye on her offspring.

Mommy Preview: Cybex Baby Goods Enter USA
One of Europe's leading baby goods manufacturers, Cybex, is making its first foray into the US market this Summer. Led by an 18-year veteran of the industry, who created the leading car seat in Germany and relaunched Maclaren in that market, Cybex plans to begin introducing its urban, fashionable strollers, car seats and baby carriers to specialty retailers in August. We were invited to a sneak peek of the line, and found it to be design-conscience and functional.

Baby Carriers to Suit Every Need
Finding a comfortable, efficient way to tote your baby on a stroll to the park is incredibly personal. While some mamas prefer to push their tots in a stroller, others opt for a closer experience by carrying their lil one on their body. From carriers in the front to those on the hip to baby slings, there are plenty of options for all parents.
Hippychick Hipseat For When Mama's Back Needs a Break!
Although women's bodies were designed with wider hips to carry around our lil ones, sometimes it doesn't work that well. A mom's body can ache at the end of a long day toting around a toddler — especially the clingy ones that insist on being carried everywhere. The makers of the Hippychick Hipseat ($52) have an admirable solution for your youngster and your sore back.
Toy Box: Baby Sling For Your Lil Copycat
Monkey see, monkey do, right? You can be sure your older darling will want to take care of her baby dolls the same way you do her baby sister. Hotslings, the baby carrier company known for its pouch-style slings that come in a variety of beautiful, stylish fabrics, has created miniature versions of its bestsellers just for your lil copycat.
Lil Find: Belle Baby Carriers
Baby carriers can make life easier on parents who need their hands free, but it can also be rough on a baby toting mom or dad's hips and back. Belle Baby Carriers ($90, $100 for organic carriers) use a five point harness system that helps to alleviate this strain on the parents while still allowing wee ones to enjoy the benefits of being in a carrier. They allow for kids to face outwards or inwards, but I especially love the color choices, which makes them seem a little more stylish than similar products out there.
