For the babywearing newbie with an infant:

So you want to introduce your friend/sister/co-worker to babywearing. She is pregnant or has a new baby but isn�t yet using a carrier, or perhaps has the Baby Bjorn. You�d like to give her something snuggly, easy-to-use and helpful for breastfeeding. The SlingLady�s Top Pick: Moby Wrap or Bali Baby Stretch wrap. Easy to use and hard to misuse. Provides great two-shouldered support for parents who carry their babies for several hours a day. Best Stocking Stuffers: Baby Legs, a detachable pocket to work with any carrier or a Hat & Blanket set by Moby.

For the babywearing newbie with an older child:

Your friend/sister co-worker already has an older child. S/he used the Bjorn when baby was younger, but they�ve outgrown it.The Sling Lady�s Top Pick: The ERGO Baby Carrier. Easy to use and comfy for almost everyone, the ERGO makes even heavy kids feel wearable! Styling appeals to both dad�s and moms, and there are lots of great accessories to match. Can be used for front or back carries, and side carries as well.Runner Up: The Scootababy. The most comfy hip carrier we�ve ever seen! Comes in cute fabrics, too.Best Stocking Stuffer: The Peek-in-Back Mirror, Baby Legs or the ERGO front pouch (works with Scootababy, too, as well as other buckle carriers and mei tais).

For the seasoned babywearer:

Your friend/sister/co-worker already has a couple of baby carriers but is still growing her stash.

The Sling Lady�s Top Pick: A Hotslings pouch, Beco Baby Carrier or Pikkolo in a fabulous fabric that she'd never splurge on for herself. Or, read about the Perfect Pairs to find a carrier that perfectly complements the one s/he already has. Best Stocking Stuffers: The Peek-in-Back Mirror (perfect for use with any mei tai or buckle carrier) or Baby Legs.

For your little one:

Kids love to do what you do, and babywearing is no different! Why not give your little guy or girl a carrier for themselves? Our Children's Doll Carriers are a hit with kids from ages 2-6. We've got doll buckle carriers, pouches and wraps!
