A few of my favorite things: baby carriers

Me carrying Angie in the Beco
It's a slow week for activities in part because of the Veteran's Day holiday and also because it's that awkward time before holiday mayhem.  So I'm going to take this time to talk about some of my favorite things that have made my life as a mother that much easier.  Today, I will talk about baby carriers, specifically my personal favorite, the Beco Butterfly. 
If you see me out and about, there's about a 75% chance that I will be wearing Angie in my Beco carrier.  I was always a 'baby-wearing' mama with Robby, but it became even more so when Angie came along. I found there was no other way to get anything done if I did not carry her. The Beco carrier is expensive ($140), and I really hemmed and hawed over this purchase, but I have no regrets.  It is similar in design as the Ergo carrier; a soft-structured carrier but much prettier.  No offense to Ergo-lovin' mama's, but they just look too hippie for my taste.
Here's what I like:
* It looks pretty and I feel comfortable wearing baby
* Comes with an included infant insert that can be easily removed or adjusted
* A little strap-happy, but literally adjustable for any shape and size
* Front or back carry but like Ergo, baby can't face out
* Can be used from 7lb-45lbs
Although it would be nice, I'm not getting a commission from Beco for this positive review!  I just like to share the things that make my life easier!  What are some of your favorite things?

I became such a baby-carrying mama when Courtland came along, for SO many reasons. Its comfortable, convenient, hands free, warm in the winter, and eye level for baby, she's never too far from me, and far enough away from any danger outside. :-) We went through quite a variety of carriers through her ages and stages- bjorn, sling, wrap, tie on, woven, and we're currently enjoying our mei tai. Happy carrying!

Pam,
I love the mei tai style too. An added bonus to carrying baby is to keep her protected from germs and strangers that just love to touch babies hands! I hope Angie still enjoys being carried when she's Courtland's age.
