a carrier that cares

Your veteran-parent friends probably have told you about BabyBjörn, the classic carrier that lets you keep your baby close and still have your hands free. Well, a good thing just got even better.

The BabyBjörn Baby Carrier Active works exactly like the original, but this one is even more comfortable, thanks to ergonomically designed shoulder straps and extra back support. (Great for superactive parents.) It's also roomier than the classic model, holding babies up to 27 pounds. Newborns (at least 8 pounds and 21 inches long) sit snuggled against your chest; older babies (around 3 or 4 months or when they can hold their heads up) can face forward and check out the world.

$119; available from Regal + Lager, 800-593-5522; regallager.com, babybjorn.com.




take care in the air

the Baby B'Air Flight Vest lets you snuggle your infant in flight safety.

Often your baby is happiest right in your lap, but is it safe to hold him while flying? The Baby B'Air Flight Vest makes airborn lap-sitting a safer proposition. The patent-pending harness secures your baby to your lap belt, protecting him against unexpected turbulence. Its soft, quilted material is sturdy but njot at all restrictive, offering freedom of movement, so parents can feed, cuddle, change and comfort little travelers from 6 weeks to 2 years old (or up to 40 pounds). the vest meets Federal Aviation Administration regulations, although it is not recommended for use during take-off, taxi, and landing. You'll wonder how you ever dreamed of flying without it.

$34.99, 800-417-5228; babybair.com
