Today we decided to start using the baby carrier we were given as a gift for Elias. After reading the manual and fiddling a bit, we successfully loaded Elias in a dry run at home.
For our first real test, we chose to go to Costco. It is amazing how many smiles and contented sighs are directed at you when you have a small baby. It was super crowded, but it went well. Elias stayed asleep in the carrier, and we got in and out before my back could start aching. I think we’ll be trying it out more soon.
