Scootababy Carrier ~ Review and Giveaway - CLOSED


It is no secret that I am a HUGE fan of baby-wearing. In fact if you ask my husband he may just tell you I am a little addicted. I admit it, it is true. I love having multiple carriers in my stash. They are each so good for different reasons.

In October I had the opportunity to attend the ABC Kids Expo. There were so many amazing companies there. It is the largest juvenile product expo around! Not even 30 minutes after walking in to the massive expo space I came to Scootababy's booth. I was immediately intrigued because this carrier was different then most I have seen before.

What is so great about the Scootababy Carrier is it allows you to hold your baby in the most natural of positions, straddling the hip. So your baby is supported right on your hip, and the strap that goes across you body is soft, easily adjusted, and makes this carrier wear like a dream.


My Scootababy carrier has become my Go-To carrier for quick trips, or strolling in the mall. It is so easy to use. Anyone can wear this carrier. In fact, when I purchased my carrier I did so with my Hubs in mind.

Please note, that I took the picture immediately after getting Squish into the carrier, the Hubs isn't a fan of pictures, so I took it before we adjusted the carrier for a proper fit. (We moved the waist up, and spread the shoulder out.) He wore Squish until Squish wanted to play!


Here I am wearing Squish at the Wax Museum! Talk about a great view for a Child!!


We all love this carrier. We love it so much I have showed it to friends who have since gone out and purchased their own Scootababy Carriers. On the Squishy Rating Scale, the Scootababy Carrier rates an EXTRA SQUISHABLE!


Disclosure: I bought and paid for my Scootababy Carrier. All opinions are 100% my own. No monetary compensation was given for my review.

I love how this carrier has 3 different options! I would use this when we go grocery shopping for sure! Than I could take all 3 boys by myself.

I'd like the carrier because it looks like it would be better for my back than the standard baby carriers. I would use it when I have a baby next year! :)

I'd use this carrier for my toddler and eventually my baby (when head control is obtained). I like that it's a natural hip carry with a little helping support
