Parenting Site of the Month

TheBabyWearer.com is an exceptional resource for parents
choosing a baby carrier from among the hundreds available today.
It was developed by Jennifer Norton and Denby Angus, Australian
work-at-home parents of two young children.
Because this is not a commercial website, and no slings are
sold here, the site offers a unique opportunity to read objective
reviews by actual users. Virtually every type and brand of carrier
is covered, including padded and unpadded slings, front packs,
soft backpacks, pouches, wraparounds, hip carriers, podegis, and
do-it-yourself patterns and kits.
Great Things About Babywearing is an excellent place to start. It lists numerous
benefits of babywearing, with research citations. Reviews,
comparison charts, articles, and photos allow a very thorough
search for the carrier that best matches a parent's needs and
preferences. The short article "What type of babycarrier
is right for me?" is especially
helpful, as are the articles on babywearing in special
circumstances (pregnancy, multiples, plus-sized parents, fathers).
The site also offers forums and chats on babywearing topics. Much
of the site content can only be accessed by registered members,
but registration is free and all information is kept private.
We highly recommend this important and well-organized site for
all parents faced with the daunting task of choosing carriers for
their children.
