Baby and Toddler Carriers

Buying both baby and toddler carriers can be expensive! You would be lucky to find a good baby carrier for less than $100 unless you bought a used one (which I have nothing against by the way).
I found that the solution to this problem for my rapidly growing family was to make my own ring sling and buy a single, quality product that could serve as both baby and toddler carrier. This way I got my money's worth and it kept things simple so that there was less baby gear for me to have to keep up with and store between uses.
Do yourself a favor and buy carriers that will safely carry both a baby and a toddler! There are some baby and toddler carriers on the market that have gotten very high ratings for comfort of both mom and child. And as far as looks are concerned, I prefer solid color fabrics!
