Great Babywearing Share'athon 2011

Take part in our annual Babywearing Share'athon 2011 and stand to win attractive prizes like a Manduca Limited Edition Blue Memory Carrier worth $279.90 (already out of stock worldwide!), a Boba Wrap in Olive Green worth $79.90, a Boba 3G Carrier worth $189.90, and fumbee Carrier Strap Protectors!

This year, we have brought forward our Babywearing Share'athon from December to coincide with International Babywearing Week held annually in the month of October.

Often, an encouraging Dad who will "get his hands dirty" can be a huge support for any new moms grappling with a newborn or toddling child. Sometimes, a Daddy's contributions can get overlooked. This year we celebrate these Daddies and the theme for our contest this year is:   

"Babywearing Dads - A World of Possibilities"
