New Scootababy Designs In Stock

Audra Meng, designer of the Scootababy, shared a picture with me of her booth at the huge ABC Expo in Las Vegas. A banner in her booth read “Trying is Believing.” Truer words were never spoken! (or printed, I suppose I should say). The Scootababy is one of my favorites to demonstrate at my babywearing consultations because I love to see someone’s face light up when they realize how simple, and how outstandingly comfortable, the Scootababy really is. I was delighted to sell one recently to a couple who bought the Scootababy as a present for his mom, who babysits their baby during the work week. What a great way for this grandmother to bond with (and care for) her granddaughter! My own mom wore my baby girl in the Scootababy at a La Leche League conference this year, and loved it.

I’ve had a number of customer inquiries about plainer versions of the new and improved Scootababy, so I’m happy to announce that I now have Black and Taupe/Brown in stock. Black is just that — black twill, black piping, and black quilted microfiber lining. Taupe is a dark grey-khaki accented with contrasting brown piping and lined with brown quilted microfiber. Either one is gender-neutral and will appeal to moms and dads (or grandparents) alike.

New Scootababy Hip Carrier Is Here!

I am so happy to announce that the new and improved Scootababy hip carrier is in stock! I have been a huge fan of the Scootababy since its debut for its simple and intuitive, not to mention highly ergonomic, design. You buckle the structured hip belt around your hips, tighten, pop your baby onto your hip, pull the shoulder strap up and over your head to sit on your opposite shoulder, tighten, and voila, you’re done.  Your child’s weight is transferred to your lower body while your upper body and neck stay comfy because of the quality Malden Mills fleece that cups your shoulder. The Scootababy really doesn’t need an instructional brochure (although it comes with one anyway)!

The original Scootababy rocked, but the new design is even better. First and foremost, there are five stylish designs to choose from, whether you want something girly, boyish, or gender-neutral. Among the other functional improvements, the carrier is now lined with quilted microfiber; the body is 1.5″ taller; the hip belt is 3″ longer; the fleece shoulder is bound for a clean look; and the straps adjust more smoothly. Overall, the design has gone from a solid A to an A+!

Scootababy hip carriers are $119 with free shipping in the US ($5 shipping rebate for international orders).
