Here at Momdot, I’m the resident babywearing guru. I have always been one of those Mom’s who wore their baby’s in a sling, pouch, or mei tai from the time my girls were newborns. The bonding I felt from wearing my girls was just what I wanted. I loved having them close to me. When we were looking around at sponsors for Momdot, I came across Angelpack Soft Structured Carriers. I was so excited when I asked Nelly at Angelpack if she wanted to be a sponsor. I just knew that her product would be a perfect thing for the readers at Momdot. She readily agreed to be a sponsor and I was offered a carrier to test out myself. I was overjoyed when I had to opportunity to try out this beautiful SSC from Angelpack. I was giddy to say the least.
I got the carrier within a couple days of her agreeing to get it to me. When I got it, I immediately put Reagan (the 3 year old) in the carrier. She loved it and so did I. Here are a couple pictures of Reagan in the carrier. Reagan is a peanut, and only weighs 27lbs at almost 3.5 so she wasn’t heavy at all on the front of me. Most carriers allow for up to 30lbs of weight on the carrier.
The pattern is a beautiful organic Lotus Fabric, that’s so soft and pretty. Its not too bright, but its not too dull. The carrier has sturdy buckles all around. There is the perfect amount of leg padding where the kids legs go. Sometimes in different carriers there is too much padding or too little padding. The carrier is not too wide either, this is the only carrier that fits both of my girls perfectly.
The padding around the waist strap is just enough, it doesn’t cut into you or make your back uncomfortable at all. While I was trying this carrier out, I wore Kaylee (almost 16 months) on my back at Busch Gardens for at least a couple hours. I never once hurt my back or was uncomfortable like the Baby Bjorn would’ve made me.
So I was able to get Reagan to snap a picture of me with Kaylee (who wasn’t too cooperative, by the way). I do have to add that Reagan did a great job with being my photographer. Oh and sorry for the no make-up, still in my pajama’s look, LOL.
Now being the babywearer that I am, I have to say that this is now my favorite carrier. Maybe its the quality of work that’s put into them, or maybe its the fabric or the easy of use. I can’t pin point a specific item, but with all the carriers I use, I always grab this one first. ~ Alicia

I LOVE the LOTUS. It is a perfect color combination for mom and dad!
I love the Lotus fabric- cute colors and great design.
I am expecting my second in a few weeks and have been looking for a sling. I like the straps and “back-pack” option so much better because then I can haul my little guy even as he gets bigger.

I just have to say how awesome it would be to win this. Even with a double stroller, I have to put one in a carrier. I seriously need hands free options.
As always, your button is in my right sidebar!
My favorite is the Espresso on Caramel. Too cute. And, I totally need to win this, because I lost TWO of the stroller contests. If I can’t push this new baby around in a way cool stroller, I might as well carry him around in a wicked cool carrier!!
GrandiFlora Plum is my fav and I’d love one so I can get some things done! : )
I like the lotus fabric. I would love to win this contest because I constantly wear my baby (my third). The baby bjorn is getting pretty worn by now and I would love chance to be able to wear my youngest on my back. Thanks for the contest!
But is on my sidebar
I like the GrandiFlora plum, so pretty!
I used to put Abby in a carrier and she loved it but the one I had was so uncomfortable. She’s only 10 months old and light so I could still get a lot of use out of a carrier.
The AngelPack is soo cool! I’d love to add this to my carrier collection.
I love the Espresso on Caramel AngelPack and I would love one of these because I am addicted to babywearing! haha.
I have two kids and I love to wear them every chance I get!!
I love the espresso one – looks like it will go with everything!
I could really use a carrier like this one. My Bjorn really gives me a backache.
I love the Passion print!
These are so cool, would be perfect for my 5 month old.
So fabulous! OK, I keep threatening to put Sue (my 23-lb three-year-old) back in the Bjorn! This would actually work!
I Love the Passion carrier!
I need this for my sister. She has a 2 1/2 year old daughter with disabilities who is in a wheelchair, an 11 month year old busy little boy, and is pregnant..due in March! She will have her hands full to say the least and will need all the help she can get. This baby carrier would be an awesome gift to give her!
I posted a link to your blog on my site!!
I have the button on my sidebar!
I love the lotus! I have an almost 2 year old who Id love to carry around since I dont use my sling much these days
