[blparent] Ways to haul child when traveling

[Leanne Merren]

I haven't seen the Urgo, so I can't compare them.  I have the Beco Butterfly 
II, and I absolutely love it.  I use it for my 3 year old, and I have been 
using it with her since she was 2.  I also use it for infants that I 
babysit, and they sleep in it very nicely.  I'm short and petite, and it 
fits on me very well, unlike other carriers.
