[blparent] about the slings and back pack

[Elizabeth Cooks]

I got an infantino brand at TJ Mac's for twenty dollars, and it is 
adjustable for those of us with biger chests.  Lol.  It also has a sort of 
air vent so the baby doesn't get to hot.  It will only cary the baby up ot 
twenty pounds, though.  This is a sling, not a front carrier.
