[blparent] taking a baby some where

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (IS)]

Folks, 
Dena said "I", not "you". 
Elizabeth, did you really need to get so nasty here? 
I find umbrella strollers unpleasant to use too. 
Elizabeht, if you are fine with them, well bully for you! 
Dena, thank you for this carrier recco, now that my daughter is on my
back with the ERGO, I miss being able to kiss her when we're out. She
doesn't seem to care though 
What are the weight limits for your carrier? Mine can do 70 pounds which
is plenty.

You have got to be kidding.  I use Joshua's to take it on the bus and
pick 
Angelica upfrom school.  Tha'ts more than a few feet. I think it works 
great.
