Mommy Week - The tale of 2 carriers & Giveaway

I've had the luxury of trying some awesome carriers, and to continue "Mommy Week" (check back next week for our regular scheduled programing) I put Oscar in them to model for you. Before having Oscar I didn't realize how much I would love wearing him. But I do. And it's obvious Oscar loves being carried. I love my stroller but around the house, and going for walks, sometimes the carrier is the way to go.  Today I'm showing you 2 carriers....Aubrey loves one, I love the other. Both are awesome and I'd recommend either to you. It's a matter of personal preference.

(1) Aubrey's Choice - Petunia Pickle Bottom Scout Carrier - Up to 22 poundsThis is the style of carrier I thought of when I thought we would get a carrier. (Where babies legs hang down.)  Style wise, this is one gorgeous carrier, with the most beautiful construction that I have ever seen - I shouldn't be surprised as Petunia Pickle Bottom makes it (hello diaper bag!). The only downside is, is that it only holds up to 22 pounds. (Read more about the carrier here) But if a guy in the house wants to wear a carrier that is cool, then this is likely the carrier he'll love. Easy to put on, looks guyish. I love seeing Dads carry their babies - soooo cute!

(2) My choice - Ergo Carrier - Up to 40 pounds
I love the Ergo. (I tried to snap a photo of Oscar in it, but as you can see, I failed) I preferred the feeling of holding Oscar in this type of carrier as he felt like he was hugging me. It is an all-in-one baby carrier that can be used in the front, back and hip position, infant to toddler.  Compared to Aubrey's that Oscar just has to be out front. His legs wrap around me, vs. hanging down in the one that Aubrey likes. Read more about it here Since I do most of the carrying, this will be the one I use as it has the higher weight limit and I can put Oscar sideways as he gets older. Julia Roberts was also spotted in it!
