BabyHawk Baby Carrier Review

The Babyhawk baby carrier is one of the best reviewed baby carriers out there. Let's start with the basic features of this product. First, they are designed to hold the baby in the front or back. The upper straps go over the shoulder comfortably while the lower straps wrap around your waste. The bottom support where the baby sits does not make it feel as if your baby is being swallowed up by the carrier, like some baby slings tend to do. It has a cushioned neck for added support, and the straps and body of the design are very soft making it very comfortable for your baby. Of course the straps are adjustable so men can wear them as well.

Speaking of men, you get to choose the color of the straps and pattern of the body of the Babyhawk. Some of the Babyhawks I've seen had black straps with an evil skull design. Of course us women have pinks and pastels and other patterns to choose from. Actually there are several thousand different combinations to discover.

One thing worth mentioning is that these baby carriers can be machine washed, just pop them into a pillow case so the straps don't get tangled. With its sleek styling and the ability to choose any design you wish, its no wonder that the Babyhawk is used by celebrities.

Infantino Sling Rider Baby Carrier

In my latest series of blog entries, I will be reviewing various baby slings and baby carriers. First we will discuss some low-cost designs found at your local Target or Walmart. They say that one negative review outweigh 5 good reviews. I’m not so sure this is true, but after doing some research on the Infantino Sling Rider Baby Carrier there are some serious flaws that simply cannot be ignored. First off that the bottom is too wide which allows the baby to easily roll on its side and suffocate. Additionally the strap easily covered the top of the sling when carried over the shoulder which could also lead to suffocation. Finally, the pouch where the baby lays closes once the baby is inside. One reviewer concluded she could not tell the difference between putting the baby in one of these or her purse. Another equated the experience to putting her baby in the bottom of a plastic bag.

Stay away at all costs! Cost? Around $30.00.
