When I found out I was pregnant one of things I was so excited to purchase was a stroller. I researched, researched and researched some more. I finally found the perfect stroller, I was in love! It was the perfect color, it had all attachments and accessories a girl could want. My husband laughed at its' size and wondered aloud how on earth I was going to haul it around. I was actually surprised myself at how much room it consumed in the back of our truck and getting it into the trunk of the car good luck!
During my pregnancy I also purchased a ring sling, a pouch sling, and a baby trekker. I had done a little bit of research on using them but I had not really educated myself all that much about babywearing.
When I brought Everette home from the hospital I tried using the pouch and the ring sling. I could not get comfortable using either of them. I used the baby trekker a few times but it was the same I was not totally comfy with it and I found it a little cumbersome to use by myself. My best friend was pregnant at the same time as I was and I bought her a Moby wrap as a gift, why I did not buy myself one I am not sure. After she raved about how great and comfy it was I decided to buy one. I was in love after the first time I used it.
At this point I was struggling to haul the stroller around. Loading it in and out of the truck I will admit was not fun and I cursed that stroller more than once.
I loved my Moby and I used it everyday. The stroller found a place in the garage and that is where it has stayed. Thanks to my friend Jana I discovered woven wraps, and The Babywearer.com. I now have a total addiction to babywearing and it the last year I have maybe used my stroller 4 or 5 times. I love to wear Everette! Now that he is to big too wear on my front I wear him on my hip or on my back. He loves it and loves that he can see everything going on.
Babywearing has many benefits for both Mama and baby. If you are interested in more info please check out these articles on the babywearer.
