A Cheerful Giver (Summer Giveaway #2)

UPDATE: The winner is Commenter #60, Sarah Robbins!

As my family has grown, we've slowly eliminated baby clutter. I'm not a "keeper" so extra stuff bothers me! Out went the baby bouncer. Out went the play mat. Most recently, out went the baby bathtub! And I'm contemplating tossing the big, bulky highchair.

But my baby carriers have stayed firmly in my grip!

Slings, pouches, mei tais, what have you, are great for new and veteran moms, moms of infants and moms of toddlers...and they make wonderful gifts!

You have the choice of the following (click on the product name to read my review):

The Rockin' Baby Pouch in a S/M (fits 5'3"- 6' and 120- 220 pounds)

Oasis Fleece Baby Sling by Hotslings in a size 3 (fits 5'1"- 5'10" and 131-150 pounds) Autumn is coming!

Down the Garden Path Mei Tai (one size fits all!)



There are three ways to earn entries:


  • Earn 1 entry by leaving a comment telling me which carrier you would choose if you won.

  • Earn 1 entry by blogging about this contest! (Feel free to use my button in the right sidebar to link back to me.) Don't forget to leave a separate comment with the link to your post.
  • Earn 1 entry by sharing this contest with your friends on Facebook. Again, be sure to leave a separate comment telling me you did so.

Contest ends Friday, August 14 at 12 noon EDT. Open to US residents only.

    That hotsling looks so cozy so I'd probably want that one. I have had hotslings but not a fleece one and that'd be good for the winter!
