My 17 year old spent lots of time in crotch danglers and has some minor leg issues to show for it. My 14 year old brother-in-law spent even more time in crotch danglers and has even wonkier legs to show for it. My 15 year old daughter seems to be okay, but she spent less time in crotch danglers. My infant has spent zero time in crotch danglers thanks to a great pediatrician. We had no idea what they did to them. Also no crotch dangling baby entertainers or jolly jumpers.

OY!! That just does NOT look comfy….at all. We too started with a crotch dangler, but I knew that there HAD to be something better. And wouldn’t ya know, there is! 🙂 I always cringe when I see poor babes in crotch danglers and think to myself, how on earth can either of them be comfortable. I try to have business cards on me at all times to hand out!

I love that expression “gateway” for the Bjorn etc… It is the perfect example of how to SUCK people in, haha! The sad part is when parents give up on babywearing early because their front facing carrier is so uncomfortable….

On the plus side, at least those parents are trying BWing. Our baby loved our Bjorn when he was small, as did we, until he got so heavy that we needed to switch. We were totally committed to BWing, and our Bjorn was just one stage along the way. (And, back pain aside, he did LOVE facing out.) The Bjorn was sort of the “gateway drug” that got us into serious BWing; so, we’ll always have a fondness for it. That said, we’re all really glad we don’t have to use it anymore!!!

I am taking a friend to my local BWing group next weekend! She’s a Bjorn wearer and I want to cry every time I see her or her husband wearing it.
