That, my friends, is an Action Baby Carrier (ABC). I love wearing my babies, and I find it increasingly needed as our family grows. I've never actually purchased a baby carrier before, as all ours were either gifted to us or I made them myself. I had 4 different carriers (2 wraps, a sling, and a mei tai) but PJ didn't care for any of them, so Scott and I decided to try purchasing a soft structured carrier and see if that would be any better. He loves being held upright, but none of the other carriers I had would give him the support he likes to have (trust me I seriously tried). So, I did some looking and asking around before deciding to purchase an ABC to try. This one is the Deco Dots print, which is the lowest priced clearance carrier they have currently at $65 with free shipping in the US.
It was ordered on Saturday, then on Tuesday I got notification that it was finished. Today is Thursday, and it is at my home. I ordered direct from ABC instead of through one of the retailers, and this is the standard size carrier. The girls helped me open the box it came in, then I took PJ into my bedroom to try putting him in it (I always do the first couple times with a new carrier/kid combo on my bed in case I drop the baby, soft landing spot is a good thing). It took under a minute to get him in it and the thing perfectly adjusted, and then we put on my shoes and coat before heading outside with the girls to play before lunch. He stopped crying as soon as I got him in it, then fell asleep within just a couple minutes. He stayed asleep for an hour and a half, which allowed me to play with the kids outside, make lunch and feed them, then load the dishwasher and get it running before having a bit of computer time.
I think its safe to say he loves it. I love it too, my back didn't bother me one bit the entire time he was in it and I'm about to get him back in it so that I can unload the dishwasher and refill and run it again. I wish I had gotten one of these when Missa was a baby.
