Tomy Freestyle Classic Baby Carrier

To be honest when I was expecting my daughter, having a carrier didn't even cross my mind. With all the excitement of shopping for a pram and other baby accessories I really didn't think of the practicality. As when my daughter was first born I hadn't yet passed my driving test so when dad was busy at work, it meant I had to get public transport to and from places and my space ship of a pram sometimes was awkward to get on and off the bus!
