[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Slings. I'm not carrying a toddler in a sling. Slings are for babies. I see women hauling children around in them. Once they can walk, let them walk.[/quote] I get how it looks and never expected to be this mom, but a sling was the only thing my baby enjoyed being carried in and I quickly discovered that it was a handy thing to have around even once my kid could walk. Sometimes a toddler wants to be carried or just needs some comfort, and it was so much easier to just put her in the sling than try to carry her without one. And I carried her in a backpack carrier for our morning commutes until she was nearly 3 -- faster than having her walk and easier than having to haul the stroller to daycare. But I get that it seems super crunchy and "I have to hold my baby at all times!" But it really just turned out to be convenient for my specific kid.[/quote]
