We love a good contest...

And this contest has a good GREAT cause behind it, so we like it even more! 
You may have heard that baby wearing and baby carriers are under attack. The warning that the CPSC has put out against slings is making many parents scared to buy ANY type of carrier, no matter the brand, style, or good reviews. The Baby Carrier Industry Alliance (BCIA) is trying to change that!  


According to their website, 
"The Baby Carrier Industry Alliance exists to increase awareness of the value of quality baby carriers and to support those in the baby carrier industry. The BCIA was formed in 2010 as a 501(c)(6) corporation. As an alliance of industry leaders, the BCIA is organized to propagate standards across the industry, promote educational outreach, participate in research, and help small businesses comply with standards. We are passionate about babywearing and about the baby carrier industry."

And guess what? By helping the BCIA in their cause, you can win a FREE *custom edition* Butterfly 2! Here's how:


1.Share your baby wearing story on their site.


2.Upload your baby wearing picture on their website and/or Facebook page. http://www.facebook.com/BabyCarrierIndustryAlliance

3.Let us know what you learn from their website on this Discussion on our Facebook page.


We can't wait to hear the responses! Contest ends October 31st.
EXTENDED through November 15th! 



**Note: to be entered in the contest, you MUST post on our Facebook discussion page! That is the only thing that "enters" you!**

  7. I'm excited to see who wins this! I entered all three pieces of the contest this past weekend. I shared my story on their website under the "everyday" thread, uploaded a picture to their fb page, and also put what I learned on the fb forum. We are big beco fans in this family (I am buying my four-year-old daughter a mini-beco for Christmas, at her request), so I'm crossing my fingers that I get picked, but it will be a great giveaway for whoever wins. :)

    Would love a new Beco to carry my baby who will be here any day around in! :)

  12. I shared my story under the "Babywearing in Daily Life" discussion and posted a picture on their Facebook page. (I'm Kacy Sandidge Ellis on FB)

    I learned that cultures that carry babies with the child’s legs spread apart, such as riding on the mother’s hip, have, by far, the lowest incidence of hips that go on to be bad. While cultures who frequently swaddle babies have the worst incidence of bad hips in later life.

    This makes me glad that I frequently carried my daughter and never really did master swaddling.

    (I really hope I win.)

  41. Hi! I posted my story on the website. This is a great contest! We have tried several carriers - slings, a Moby, Baby Bjorn, Infantino - but I use the Ergo all the time. I would love to try out a Beco! Thanks for the opportunity to possibly try one!

    I also commented on your Facebook discussion and posted two (very cute I think!) photos on BCIA's page.

    I have used a Moby since my son was born 3 years ago, but bought a Beco when I became the mother of 2 nine months ago. I love that I can wear my infant daughter and my partner can wear our 3 year old (35 lb!) son in the same carrier. Brilliant! And stylish...
