Cool! I'll plan on being there. Do you need to know how many people will be coming? Someone gave me a sling for my 2nd baby, but I never had the "courage" to wear it.. I always felt like I wasn't doing it right and the baby would fall out. I think mine is a nojo sling.. anyway.. I'd definetely appreciate some help so I can carry baby #3 around :) Thanks!

Does it matter age of child, I have a 9 1/2 month old and just recently got a sling, I have figured out a few holds but would like to learn more so I am more comfortable with it, plus for future babies :-)

Age of child does not matter! You don't even need to have children to come! If you just want info too, we would love to talk to you!

Maybe should have sent a PM, but oh well! Will you have several "samples" to look at? I am looking for one for baby#3, as I KNOW I will end up using one a LOT. I have a Snugli and HATE it! And have always heard good things about Bjorn carriers until I joined this site, so now I'm confused! I'd like to see some and how they work before making a decision!

We are planning on having quite a few different kinds of carriers/slings. We have talked to a lot of the baby wearing enthusiasts and asked them to bring all of their "goods"!

If there is a specific kind you want to see, let us know & we'll try to make sure we have it there!

Thanks! One more question. Is it kind of like where you can come and see and ask questions and go, or is there some kind of presentation. I really want to come, but will have my kids with me. Thanks again for answering my questions!

There will be a short presentation, but you are more than welcome to bring your kids. We have a play area at the store & the last time we did a workshop there were others who brought kids as well.

We are a store that is all about mommies & babies so we welcome your kiddos!

How did it go Shelly??

I never post over here, but I have loved getting to know you on the other board!
I would have much rather been at a baby-wearing clinic that cleaning my house...
