I can tell you carrying 4 boys over the period of 12 years is no small feat. It’s done a number on my back. When carriers came into my life it made things a little easier, but the bigger they got the more strain it not only put on my back, but it also put a strain on their hips. Back in the day, we didn’t know anything about babies hip being out of alignment while in a carrier and if I had, I might have done things a little differently. I’m so happy that there are new innovations for babies and parent to make carrying a whole lot more comfortable for both.
Huggs Contour is an innovative baby carrier built for versatility. Its revolutionary carrier booster not only provides all-day comfort, the ergonomic design ensures a healthy sitting position (M-position) for a growing baby. The padded shoulder straps evenly distribute a baby’s weight in combination with the wide waistband to maximize parent comfort. The dual-layer center panel folds up for warmth and folds down to let in fresh air and includes a sleeping hood to shield the baby from the sun and wind. Developed through the assistance of medical professionals, parents, and children, Huggs Contour is lightweight, yet rugged, built for daily. It has been designed to deliver the very best ergonomics in every carrying mode, for both the parent and child. Huggs Contour is the perfect companion for parents who want to keep their baby close and comfortable, at anytime and anywhere.
FEATURES:
Hip Seat Technology. Nothing more important than enjoying the happiness of your child while cradling with you. The carrier booster seat provides all-day comfort, and keeps your baby ergonomically seated in a healthy hip position.
Carrying Positions. Front-Inward; Front-Outward; Back Carry; and Hip Carry. The Huggs Contour has been designed to deliver the very best ergonomics in every carrying mode.
Dual-layer Center Panel. The outer layer of the center panel can easily fold up for warmth and fold down, exposing breathable 3D mesh for fresh air, and also stays dry, keeping your baby comfortable at all times, be it a cool windy evening or a hot summer day.
Hands-in Connection. Quick releasing the side buttons allows parents to place a hand inside the center panel and offers parents an efficient, hands-on proximity to their newborn.
Weight Distribution. The padded shoulder straps help evenly distribute your baby’s weight in combination with the waistband to maximize parent comfort by alleviating pressure on the wearer’s back and shoulders.
Neck Support. The neck support adjusts to support your baby’s head and neck for greater comfort and safety.
Sleeping Hood. The adjustable sleeping hood provides support and privacy for your baby’s head while sleeping or nursing, and also shields the baby from the sun.
Retractable Pockets. Multi-purpose pockets provide easy storage for necessities.
Compact Storage. The Huggs Carrier folds away, using minimal space and giving you the freedom to travel light with your baby.
Two-way Strap. The adjustable strap allows wearers to use the carrier with the straps crossed in the back.
Elastic Loop. Secures and keeps loose straps out of the way.
Material. Chemical free, 100% cotton lining fabric, 100% polyester padding, and breathable airflow mesh.
This product is perfect for any parent in need of a more heavy-duty carrier. Great if you attend events or outing that can last a while, this carrier can provide you peace of mind that your baby is safe and snug with zero compromise to their back or hip alignment.
Kolcraft’s Traditional Dresser Brightens Up Any Baby’s Room

Congratulations! You have a bundle of joy on the way….now what? The delivery date is getting closer and closer and you still don’t know what to do with the babies room. We spent hours going over baby furniture and trying to compromise on a style, color and theme. In the end, we went with a white traditional dresser…It’s something that can grow with the baby and never goes out of style…and can go with just about any theme we decide to use throughout him growing up. So far it’s been rock n’ roll & Batman & Robin…and he’s not even 3 yet!
The Kolcraft 3 Drawer Transitional Dresser is the perfect addition to the Kolcraft Elan 3-in-1 Crib. It features subtle contours and combines traditional construction methods with the latest technology. Featuring F3 Technology, this dresser assembles tool-free in just about 10 minutes! With our unique QuickBlock system, you simply connect the two blocks, and then slide a metal clip tightly over them. No hammers, nails or hex wrenches needed! With the addition of a contoured changing pad (sold separately), this dresser is the ideal height to act as a changing table!
I’ve spent my years putting together many pieces of furniture and I must say this has been the simplest piece I’ve ever had to do. It says it’s tool-free, although a hammer doesn’t hurt for the stubborn metal clips. Each piece of the dresser fit together seamlessly and only took about 10-15 to put together…mostly because I had a toddler that wanted to help.
Please, Please, Please ANCHOR your dresser to the wall! I’ve seen so many horror stories in the past few years that could have been avoided had people anchored them. This dresser comes with an anchor kit and instructions to help you anchor your dresser so no mishaps happen to your bundle.
I love the simple lines, simple color and simple construction of this piece of furniture. This piece of furniture will be with him for many years to come…it may collect a few drawings along the way, but that’s part of toddlerhood and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
You can purchase this dresser on Amazon or you can check the Kolcraft site for a location near you!
