Baby Carriers for BOYS!

Well, well, there ARE products for boys out there! I swear all I see is pink frill and ruffle, which isn’t exactly fair to the other gender. Recently I was introduced to these Snugli’s, a little carrier, that has lots of patterns and colors that help keep it so dad doesn’t get embarrassed to add on the pack.

Kwim?

They have all sorts of styles of packs and carriers, a few demonstrated here:

(Look how cute those BABIES are!)

I actually saw my sister carrying her 6 week old in a sling this weekend and she was so snuggled and comfy. I totally forgot that packs really existed, but I think it may make vacuuming, shopping, and walking around a lot easier.

Here are a few of the patterns available (there are more, these are just the ones I’m showing!)
