When PAXbaby.com‘s Pimp my Carrier started, it was a small service that we were going to offer to give make overs to tired, worn carriers! Little did we know that our seamstress’s amazing skills would become so sought after & admired!

She is, however, a WAHM (work at home mom) with a small toddler, and has felt the stress of popularity. At the end of this month, July 2013, Pimp my Carrier will not be taking any more custom orders.

Any orders placed before the 31 will be completed, and after a break, PAXbaby will be offering ready made Pimped carriers as well as Strap Wraps, Cutie Covers, and Mai Pokettos!

So just to clarify, Pimp My Carrier is not closing their doors FOREVER, just retiring the option for customs.

THANK YOU for your support and understanding!

My babywearing “history” by Jessica

PAXbaby.com

With my first two kids…I tried a Baby Bjorn…YUCK! Got rid of it. It hurt my back and was terribly uncomfortable, and I had a hard time adjusting it.  Then, my mother made a Maya Ring Sling from the pattern on their website. We had a time getting the rings with the right specifications/gauges and stuff. BUT, I really didn’t know how to wear it that well because it would KILL my shoulder. I still wore my first around all the time and I have pics of him in it, but I should’ve pulled the fabric over my shoulder and I didn’t, but I didn’t know.

PAXbaby.com

Then with my second baby I used my Ring Sling and I got a Maya Pouch sling, LOVED it a lot better because it naturally draped over my shoulder a bit which relieved some of the shoulder pain. I have pics of her in the ring sling AND the pouch. Still wasn’t 100% satisfied with fit and extended wear but we made it work! I also tried a Solarveil RS but still wasn’t wearing them correctly so I sold it.

PAXbaby.com

Then along comes Lincoln and I start cloth diapering, then I find Diaperswappers and see ALL these people talking about Ergos and Becos…so I posted a question (what feels like FOREVER ago) about ERGO or BECO??? And I got SOOOO many responses saying to get the Beco. So I started my search and found a baby carrier store (I have NO idea which one now) that let you fill out this cool little survey with your activities and preferences and what would be most important to you and at the end it gave recommendations of what carrier would suit you best, then one of the people there would contact you through email to give personal help. The website and team member recommended the BBII for me. I about stroked when I saw the price, so did my husband. So I got back on DS and found an AWESOME mama who sold me her used Beco Butterfly II Panthers (now my Pimped out Scooters) for $81. However, after hubby saw how happy I was with it and how much I use it and how much they go for resale he’s never questioned it since!!! And neither have I!!!

PAXbaby.com

I still have my original Maya Wrap RS

THEN, I found PAXbaby! And yeesh how my little stash has expanded since then! Thank you SOOOOOOOOO much, Jillian, for all your tips and tricks, advice and helpful videos! I now I have Pimped BBII and a Pimped Gemini, a Cutie Cover, an Easycare Rainbow Ring Sling, Mai Pokettos, Strap Wraps, a Carry my Carrier bag, Mai Zoo….I’m obviously a fan of your delicious babywearing goodies, and I still have my original Maya Wrap RS! Thanks again for helping me in my babywearing journey!!!! I’m LOVING it!!!!

Don your Mai Hero baby carrier cape and get out there to fight crime with your fellow babywearers!  Blam, kapow, and WEAR YOUR BABY!!!!  The Mai Hero is the one and only super hero cape designed to fit your baby carrier and grow with your child to transition to a standard costume cape by PAXbaby’s Pimp my Carrier!  Don’t limit the Mai Hero to being worn just at Halloween season, wear your Mai Hero any time you want to feel {SUPER}

PAXbaby.com

These babywearing capes come in a variety of colors and your choice of applique!!!  Custom requests are always welcome, so contact me for special applique questions, snap colors, reversible options, etc….  To wear your Mai Hero, simply snap the short cape straps around the shoulder straps of your carrier and get ready to ZOOOOM, or WHIZZZZZ, or do something really {SUPER} !!!  The Mai Hero doesn’t come with flying instructions or kung fu skillz but it does guarantee to make you the coolest and most {SUPER} babywearing parent ever!!!  And as your child grows out of their babywearing stage, the Mai Hero will grow with them!  Snap the straps through the sleeves of your child’s T shirt and off they go to save the world {Lego world from their baby sibling, that is} !!!  My Baby #5 had to be coerced to take his Mai Hero off for church, and you can believe that he slept in it for 5 nights in a row!!!  No choking hazard of course since the straps go through the shirt sleeves – not around the child’s neck!!!

The post Why am I excited? appeared first on PAXbaby.

As the creator of the Mai Poketto, I have to love them – they are my babies!!!!  But as an avid babywearer, I can tell you that the Mai Poketto is the must-have accessory to make every outing with baby in a carrier a SUCCESS!   The key clip helps to keep your keys from disappearing to the bottom of the bag like usual, and the hidden cell phone pocket on the outside of the bag keeps your phone safe, dry, and easily accessible!!!  Did you know that the back loop can be made smaller depending on the size waistband your carrier has!?!  And as 1 mom pointed out, you could even hang your Mai Poketto off your belt to carry your things without a bulky purse!  use it at half size – perfect for my wallet, phone, & keys – or full size to fit my wallet, phone, sunglasses, lip gloss, toy car to entertain my toddler, & Target list!!!!  Big enough to double as a small diaper bag, the inside lining is PUL (water resistant fabric) so us cloth diapering moms can stuff a wet diaper in the Mai Poketto without fearing stink or wicking!   Never leave anything behind with a Mai Poketto!!!!

PAXbaby.com

As Corinne said about her new Mai Poketto, “Got the Mai Poketto! Love it! It’s so plain, so basic, so perfect for me, LOL!  I love the addition of the velcro on the cell phone pocket.  I did some errands and grocery shopping today so it came just in time. It carried my keys and stuff all day!! THANKs, Jillian!”
