Mama Knows Best

I have been given the pleasure of spending a lot of time with my nephew Bryce this summer.  He is just shy of six months old and the cutest little guy this Auntie has laid her eyes upon.  So what have I been doing with the little guy each time I have him besides smothering him with kisses and cuddling him until no end?  Shopping!  He loves perusing the stores with me in his adorable new EcoSash Carrier from Infantino.  We use carriers nearly every day in our household for the simple fact that this mama does not have nearly enough hands to get all of her work done and carry the youngest around.  I also tend to use carriers when I am taking the kids shopping by myself because neither of my children are old enough to walk by themselves (without causing trouble) and this frees up a seat in the car for my oldest and seat on my back for the youngest.  Genius, no?  And besides, Addie loves going for a ride on my back through the grocery store.

Both Bryce and myself love the EcoSash for it’s comfort.  I also love it for it’s stylish design and how easily it fits into my purse, the diaper bag or in the back pockets of my truck.  I also love the hands free effect for mamas like myself, who have way too much to get done and not enough time to do it all.  What I am not so fond of is the obvious– having to lug the diaper bag/purse around while shopping.  With me living in the middle of no where, I usually have to travel about an hour away from home (or more depending on the mall).  I try to make my shopping trips an all day event, especially when traveling further away.  My last shopping adventure (major shopping that is), I took Bryce with me.  We left at nearly 8 o’clock in the morning and did not arrive home until 7:00 o’clock that evening.  I took the carrier and stroller with us and we shopped ’til we dropped.  By the end of the shopping adventure, I was rather surprised that my back did not hurt.  The carrier I use for my daughter leaves me with a back ache and swearing I’ll never do it again and the EcoSash doesn’t cause any discomfort.

The Infantino EcoSash carrier comes in a 3-in-1 design and is good for babies 8-35 lbs (3.6-15.9 kgs) and is available at Babies R Us.  From August 11th – September 21st, Babies R Us is offering $10-off the EcoSash and Balance carriers.
