I might have to write a post about the perils of placing one's baby in a car seat carrier and leaving them in the floor. I used to work in a hopsital boutique, and one day a man came in and sat his infant daughter on the floor at his feet while he filled out paperwork for a breastpump. My coworker accidentally knocked a clunky two-hole punch off the table and it very nearly fell on the baby! I've also seen a baby knocked off a shopping cart by her older brother in one of those carriers. Besides, they are way too heavy and awkward for freshly postpartum moms to lug around. Babywearing is a way of life, not a fad. I AM pleased, I have to say, that the photo included in the article I just googled is of the Infantino bag carrier and not a ring sling or something good. They didn't get it TOTALLY wrong. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35782340/ns/health-kids_and_parenting/ :-( I hate stuff like this.
