One Step Closer to Stroller-Free!

We have a new addition to our baby-wearing collection!  Introducing Ergo #1. 

I decided that I was too much of a pansy to carry Sam on my back with our wraps... they just aren't really comfortable with toddler sized babies.  SO I asked around on this online crunchy group I'm a part of and all the hippies are torn between Ergo and Boba carriers for their bigger kids. 

I went with Ergo for convenience and cost... someone in the group was willing to sell me theirs for less than half the original price!  And the Ergo has a pocket that's big enough to stash a few diapers and wipes in.  When we get the second one, we'll be good to go for day trips in dear old Germany (and beyond!)

Europe is so not stroller friendly. 

I'm really looking forward to even just taking walks with Lily around Otterberg... if I have Sam on my back, Lily and I can go at a nice toddler-pace and I don't have to worry about pushing Sam in the stroller while keeping Lily out of the road!  Everybody wins :o)

    1. Haha I don't know if it'd be as helpful as you think... it's a local group of military wives. Kind of cool, though. I'm sure they'd let you join the club if you really want ;o)
