And, Canada Day will also be the kick off for our next giveaway: a Baby Buddha Organic Bamboo Stretchy Baby Carrier!

I absolutely loved this carrier with my son when he was small. As a newborn he didn't like the cradle hold, wanted an upright tummy-to-tummy exclusively. Now, I've never been much of a wrap lover, I could never get them tied right and always hated the ends dragging on the ground while I was getting it on. The Baby Buddha solves those issues with its 3-piece system (2 pouches and a support sash). All the comfort of a wrap with the ease of a pouch sling. You can wear this carrier in several different ways (wearing instructions included). And their organic bamboo stretch fabric is so soft and supportive.

bECO Baby Carrier Giveaway!

To kick off the summer, we are launching another giveaway and this is a big one... a bECO Butterfly II Baby Carrier!! This is the must-have soft structured carrier, featuring:

• an internal harness that makes it possible for baby to remain in the carrier while putting it on, moving it from person to person or changing from the front carry to the back carry. This feature is especially popular with less confident / brand new babywearers. It makes the back carry very easy and very safe, although we still firmly suggest baby be at least 5 months or older before doing any sort of back carry.
• a removable infant insert that is sold with the carrier, which allows the carrier to truly be used from newborn to 45lbs.
• tall and wide body that supports baby in the proper ergonomic position.

We are giving away one brand new in the box bECO Butterfly II carrier in the Carnival print shown below:
