[blparent] commuting, etc.

[Erin Rumer]

No, but I prefer to wear my son on my back now as much as possible encase I
should bump into something I'd hate him to take the brunt.  I have a guide
dog and we walk at a pretty good clip so if we hit something it would hurt
pretty good.  I have heard good things about the snugly but someone recently
told me that Dawson would be a bit heavy for it now at 22lbs since babies
his size are not the most comfortable on the front no matter what carrier
you have.  When I'm walking around a store or inside a building I like to be
Dawson on my front in my ErgoBaby and I still enjoy that quite a bit as does
Dawson because he can see me and interact with me.
