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.




sleek storage for anywhere diaper changes

Lugging your baby around is tiring enough - before you start schlepping all that stuff. The hands-free combi Urban Sling makes your load a whole lot lighter.

Wonderfully devoid of delicate pink frills or winsome Winnie the Pooh motifs, the sleek combi Urban Sling comes in black or silver and is worn across the body for hands-free access to all your gear. It comes with an oversized changing pad, insulated bottle pockets, an adjustable, padded shoulder strap, plus an easy-access key ring and cell phone pocket. Best of all, it makes a great around-town bag after the baby no longer needs valet service.

$47.99, 800-992-6624; combi-intl.com
