Carry Baby in Comfort and Style: Win a Scootababy!

I recently had the chance to try the Scootababy, a new mom-invented babywearing carrier. The Scootababy is a hip carrier that holds baby snugly against your body in a face-to-face position. Baby can see everything going on around him as well as mommy.

The Scootababy is intended for babies five months and older (up to 40 pounds), and there are lots of pictures on www.scootababy.com of babies and toddlers using the carrier.

Since Baby Mwah is a newborn and still too small to try the Scootababy, I tested it on a friend’s 10 month old daughter. She fit easily in the lightly padded seat, and I was even able to feed her a bottle while holding her in the Scootababy. (Breastfeeding mommies can nurse while baby is in the Scootababy, and there are pictures on www.scootababy.com showing how to do this.)

The Scootababy was so easy to put on and adjust. All I had to do is secure the wide, padded waist belt and pull on the fleece shoulder strap. I could even adjust the shoulder fleece with one hand! It was easy to get baby in and out of the carrier– a handy feature since older babies often fuss to get down only to change their minds a moment later when they insist on being carried.

The Scootababy was comfortable to use. The fleece strap cups the shoulder, staying in place and spreading the weight across your entire shoulder rather than tugging at your neck.

The Scootababy is made in the USA with top quality materials (Polartec fleece, 100% cotton ring-spun denim, and performance EVA foam) from US suppliers. It comes in two styles: Classic Black and Jellybeans. Jellybeans (which is the pattern I own) is black denim with a cute jellybean fabric lining. Both patterns are practical enough to match most outfits, and my husband even remarked that he wouldn’t object to carrying baby in the black denim Scootababy.

I really like these carriers because you can carry an older baby or a toddler in it. My 2-year-old still wants to be held when we’re out and I would love to try one of these!

my daughter does not like the baby carrier I have but I think that since the scootababy would have a little seat for her she would love it

I was a Mom who thought that snuglis were the only type of carriers and both my children hated it. When my daughter was around 6 months old and attached to me I found a sling online and FELL IN LOVE with it and so did she. It made us all so much more comfortable.

I love this because it’s good for older kids. I know slings can theoretically used for bigger ones, too, but mine wants to be up high and sitting straight and he trys to climb up me in a sling.

Army Blogger Wife comments:

I like that you can still tend to the child. When I wear my son on my back, I have a hard time handing him a binky or crackers. When he is directly on the front, I have a harder time doing things. I don’t mind carrying him, but this would make it more natural and I could wear him on my hip, where he seems to spend most of his time anyway!

I like the fact that you can still carry an older baby in it. That you can carry on the hip, it’s so much better for your back I think.

I love wearing my baby and she loves it as well but sometimes, after long periods, my back starts to hurt and the Scootababy seems to have solved that problem! I also think its great that the black denim is gender neutral enough that both parents can wear it!

I got a sling after my 3rd baby was born (I really needed the hands free option) and now I can’t wait to use it again when I have my 4th! I like this one because it looks a lot more comfy when the child is older.

Slings what a lifesaver. I found my pouch style sling very useful while traveling abroad with my 6 month old. Look forward to using this sling and it will be more comfortable for my baby as he gets older.

I have a the traditional carrier and it works fine but doesn’t seem to be very comfy for my babies when they are heavier. The Scootababy is designed with larger babies in mind. The position is alot more natural and easier on the back which is the most appealing to me! I would love to win one!

Becca comments:

I loved my front carrier when my daughter was small, but it started hurting my back, not to mention that her grabby little hands quickly got in the way. I think the side carrying would be great. And the cupping shoulder strap looks really comfortable. My daughter is about 18 pounds now, and I think this carrier would work great for us!

I like best that the Scootababy helps you to hold the baby in a very natural comfortable looking position. I love that it is not complicated looking to use either. We hope to use one with the little one we are adopting from Russia!

We are expecting in September, a baby girl and I’ve been wanting to own one of these, its nice that its versatile as to where you can carry a toddler..

Would be a life saver while shopping with both children and just trying to get anything done!

I love being able to carry my older child around, and since I have two of them up on my hips at most times, to be able to hold one hands free would be a huge help, not to mention that I love that it does not impede shoulder movement. Baby wearing is the best!!!

How could you not love an item that lets you carry your baby from birth to ‘toddlerhood’ and still be able to maneuver other activities!?!?! This makes a perfect present for new parents.

I love that you are still able to carry them on your hip without having to tire out your arms.

I have problems in my neck and shoulder, this looks like it would take a lot of the weight off.

I like that the Scootababy shifts the weight more to your back- I have such sore shoulders!

I really like the idea of baby carriers because it allows you to keep your child within view and reach at any given time. Plus, you’re able to multi-task!

I would really appreciate the assistance when I am carrying my future grandchild and not worrying about her safety with my weakened hands-it’s a tresured bundle that I want to keep close to me and safe

My favorite thing about babywearing is the closeness that I feel while wearing my daughter. I can hear every sound she makes, just as she can hear sound I make. From the lightest hum of a song to the giggle that escapes from her mouth!

I like that it has a higher weight limit than my Baby Bjorn (which my 8 month old has already exceeded) and that it distributes that weight evenly, making it more comfortable than other carriers. Thanks for the chance to win!

I have never purchased anything like this and would love to try it out on our new baby due in September, with another child (my son he’s a toddler) it’d be easier to keep up with the two , especially shopping or doc appts!

I always tell people I wouldn’t have four kids if I didn’t baby wear. It makes life so much easier. Babies want to be held, Toddlers need to be held and we still need to get things done

Being able to get things done even when baby is fussy or wants to be held is great.

I like the wide, fleece strap on the scootababy. My baby’s a wiggler, so any extra security and comfort is appreciated!

This looks way easier to use than the carrier I have and if it works for kids that are less than 40 pounds, I can still use it with my 2 year old.

I love that it works well with larger children as well. Just because they’re not so tiny anymore, it doesn’t mean they still don’t want to be close to mommy.

I could put my 2 year old or my 8 month old in this. Pick me, Pick me!!

I love the idea of babywearing. Usually when we’re out I end up carrying my daughter most of the time anyway, but when I’m done my back is killing me. I would love one of these to provide some extra support. Thanks for the giveaway.

Babywearing is an amazing thing that is done is many, many other countries - it fosters togetherness, attached parenting, and soothes the baby.

When my baby arrives in October, I’ll wear my baby, of course!

I like the idea that you can use it for an older baby, the ones that I have seen are all for smaller babies.

Aimee comments:

With my older girls, I didn’t do much baby wearing besudes from the occasional day out using the baby bjorn. With my brand new baby, I have come to love baby wearing for many reasons. I love the closeness, the way it calms and soothes my daughter, and yes — the help in being able to have free hands at times to help attend to my bigger girls!

I haven’t tried the scootababy but would love to. The two best things about babywearing are having your baby look up at you when you are wearing her and having them fall asleep while babywearing because they are so content. Thanks for the contest!

I love babywearing my 14 mos. old, and I have since she was a newborn. I really like that scootababy is a hip carry, so she and I can see the same things at the same time!

I like that it’s made in the USA. So many baby carriers are made overseas. I am in the market for a baby carrier and have even seen manufacturers trying to decieve the customer by trying to make us believe their carriers are made in the USA.

I recently tried the scootababy in a babywearing meeting in my town and was very impressed with it. I would love to get my hands on one to use with both my 3 yr old and my soon to be 5 mth old.
