[blparent] Baby Wearing

[Michael Baldwin]

Our favorite is the mei Tie
 http://www.meitaibaby.com/
Has some info on wearing it. They also have some you can purchase, but I
think they are expensive. My wife got ours from someone on
www.diaperswappers.com
And we only paid $30 or so for it.
I am around 6 foot, and my wife is about 4 foot 10.
It is basically a square panel with straps coming off each corner. The
bottom straps come out straight to the sides, and you can tie these in the
back or front, depending on how you are going to carry the baby. The top
straps come out at an angle from the top corners for going over your
shoulders. They go over your shoulders and come back around to the baby and
tie there. Some have buckles if you do not want to mess with tying

Hi,
We are asking for a child ages 0-3 for foster care, and we would like to
find baby carriers to help promote attachment while still having our hands
free for other tasks.
We ride our city bus a lot, and feel that wearing our child will work best
in this situation as well.
The things we need to consider:
Both my husband and I will be using the same carrier.
I am around 5 ft 3 inches, and he is around 5 ft 11 inches
1 shoulder carry will not work for me at all We are looking for something
that isn't too complecated to learn how to use We don't have the funds to
buy tons of carriers I've researched www.thebabywearer.com, and I'm still
pretty overwhelmed!
Are we crazy? Is what we're looking for even possible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, and have a great day!

In Christ, Miranda
