My child allow would NOT tolerate a sling, wrap, front-pack, or other similar products. I know this because I spent a LOT of money trying to find something that worked for both of us. I probably tried at least 8 different kinds of carriers (besides the carseat).

So, I carried her in her carseat at times. Something like this would have made it easier, and I would have felt better and more stable. Considering I had to lug her to and from my doctor’s appointments every week for over 5 months, I could have used this product.

Like so many others have said, especially when you have more than one child to care for, slings are not always the best answer. The school drop off/pick up has been mentioned and I would like to second that and say that I do three of these a day and to disturb my baby for them would be just plain unnecessary and wouldn’t benefit anyone.

I could list a bunch more times when easily removable carseats are better for mom, baby, and the whole family but i’ll spare you, you get the idea. There are also plenty of times when leaving the carseat in the car and using a sling or wrap is the best thing to do.

Personally, I don’t think i’d use the carseat hanger thing enough to warrant buying one, but i’m open-minded enough to know that somewhere out there there is a parent who’s sanity would benefit from just such a contraption and far be it from me to judge that.

That said, I do not have experience with babies in really cold climates or many other specific parenting situations and I appreciate parents that are weighing all the options and making the best decision they can.

I have, however, worn babies, toddlers, and preschoolers while pregnant (but not all at once!) and can not imagine wearing a baby in a carseat while pregnant! I also have worn more than one baby/kid at a time and am sure this is also easier and more comfortable than wearing one baby and wearing the other in a carseat!

Slings and wraps have been lifesavers with twins or multiples for many parents. They encourage breastfeeding and bonding and have all the benefits mentioned in the blog post. One could interpret the studies as stating that spending time in the carseat results in babies that cry more, learn less, are less organized, take longer to be humanized, and are stupider.

So, yeah, let’s leave it inconvenient!

I was a sling-only mom for my daughter’s first two months, which was fine for little walks, but awful for shopping – I desperately needed some maternity bras, nursing tops, etc – but it’s very hard to try things on when your baby is in a sling and there’s nowhere in the changing room to put her! Eating out and going to the gym was a challenge, too. When we finally got a car seat, it was fantastic – baby could nap in her seat on the floor between us, and I could eat my soup without worrying about spilling it on her.

Even better was when we got a stroller that we could pop the car seat in – now I could drive to a store, try on clothes, and go back without waking her! Finally, I didn’t have to wear my maternity clothes!

I still keep a simple pouch sling folded up small in my diaper bag for short walks or fussy days at home, and use the Ergo carrier for travelling, days I’m taking public transport, etc. (She’s 16 months old now.) But the stroller and car seat definitely have their place. No need to get dogmatic about it.
