Did you notice? We slipped some Babyhawk brand  “Oh Snap” carriers into our baby carrier section!

The Babyhawk brand is a very respected little company in California, ran by the mom who founded it. They’ve been making mei tai carriers for years and they just launched the new Oh Snap. We were among the first to get it in store and currently there are  8 colors here for immediate shipment.

The OhSnap fits babies from 15-45 pounds using either a front carry or backpack position.  It is comprable to a Babyhawk Mei Tai in its style and design, except there are no long straps to tie, and it offers good waistbelt support for carrying older children or for carrying a child for long time periods such as hiking or day trips. The adjustability is meant to fit a women’s size 0 to 22.  The carrier is not meant to be used with newborns, and no, there aren’t any snaps on it, just buckles.

We are getting many questions about the Beco Butterfly availability. Here is the latest information:

The original Beco Butterfly is retired and was replaced with version “Butterfly 2” with some noteworthy design changes! The Butterfly 2.0 blog thread on colors and stocking is here. We have 12 colors in stock – solid black and brown and the prints : Avery, Carnival, Argyle Deer, Grace, Lenka, Panthers, Paige, and Zoye. The limited edition Scooters print with orange straps is on sale for $189 $159. The fall colors will sell out before long and no more will be made – this means Grace, Argyle, Lenka, Panthers, Scooters and Avery. We are currently well-stocked but all the Becos move fast and we will run out on the fall colors before long.

These ship free the same day or next day after you order them.

The automatic free shipping is FedEx ground. There is a new map on our policies page for delivery speed with Fedex ground service. You may find you live close enough to get overnight or 2nd day service at the Ground price.

Everybody is curious about how the Beco fabric prints look close up and in the sunlight, so we blog these whenevr we can. Check the sidebar for the “butterfly photos” section. Our homemade close-up outdoor shots of Isabella and Olivia are here. Extra images of Abby Sara and Natalie are here. We also took photos of Aubrey, Ethan, and Emma – especially useful because you can clearly see the words in the popular Emma print.

Many people ask about the sold out colors – we can confirm that the following are out of stock and not being made any more:

Duo organic owls in sand, sky blue, or rust orange

Jacob, Sara, River, Hannah,

exclusive custom-made Abby, Mia, Olivia and Emma.

This is a bit of a placeholder post, because all I can say is the hot new Bumgenius diaper products – Flip diapers and Econobum -  just arrived to our stockroom and will be posted at Tender Cargo tomorrow. Images, descriptions, prices, etc will be shown at that point. There has been such a buzz about these already! Most likely the link will be right in the Bumgenius cloth diaper section. These are not replacing the BumGenius 3.0 or organic one size diapers we carry. Those products are still being made and sold as much as ever. The Flip and Econobum are just some exciting other options to consider by the same maker.

We’ve had a few new colors of Babyhawk in the store that I just finally put online today.  Check out the Babyhawk area, you’ll be able to tell the new ones because they have swatch photos posted instead of our homemade photos of the carrier on a manequin like all the other Babyhawks show. Sorry, that’s just been pushed down the to-do list so long, I thought it was best to at least make them available for order even if the photos weren’t done yet.  If that’s a big deal, just say so and I’ll try to get to it sooner!

The all-Camoflauge one has been really popular, – now I’m just curious how the zebra print does. Do you like it?

Whew! This is one of those log posts I put off writing just because I can’t tell where to begin! The annual show of all the new childrens’ products just ended and I flex back home with a bag bursting with catalogs and order forms, there is no telling when I’ll finally sort through all that material and in the meantime all the orders we placed for hot new products are going to start shipping over. yikes!

It is easy to point out two new colors for the Butterfly 2. They’re coming next week. Also 2 new colors for Pikkolo carriers and one for Scootababy. I’m so pleased with about a dozen new color choices from Aden + Anais muslin swaddling blankets and they have the most amazing muslin sleepsack coming soon.

But there are some really BIG things coming out of Bumgenius and I’m not sure if I can say so yet : ) Also we grew so much in our car seats and strollers and furniture offerings … what’s that, you can’t see them on the site yet?    I KNOW!    until we find time to get these things online I can’t do much blogging and linking to anything in those categories, can I?   Oh well, the Nurture Center has plenty to show right now – check out the specials just right now on Dutailier, the instant rebates on the Britax strollers,  and the free shipping for Medela pumps

Today we have 6 new babyhawk colors in stock and 4 bestselling babyhawks are now here in the toddlerhawk version as well!  Every babyhawk and toddlerhawk in store is reversible to a solid color.

Babyhawk carriers are a long-established brand in comfortable infant and toddler slings. They’re actually a Mei Tai, meaning that they tie on to you with two easy straps, not buckles or snaps or rings.  Once you try once or twice, it is so fast and easy to tie the waist straps and then the shoulder straps and you’re done – and it is perfect for sharing the carrier with another adult of a different size, since there are no settings or buckles to change between you.  The babyhawk includes a folding headrest for infant head support and is also useful for older babies or toddlers who nap in the carrier. The two-shoulder design makes it effective and comfortable even for growing toddlers. Babyhawks are meant for front, back, or side positions and are quite reasonably priced at $80 for about 2 years of useful life with your child, longer if you save it for a future little sibling.

New in the store – three BumGenius brand diapering accesories.

These are practically necessities no matter what type of cloth diapers you’re thinking of using. We just love these super-silky bamboo baby wipes, diaper pail liner, and a wet bag.

BumGenius makes other bestselling accessories that are already in our store, like the bottom cleaner spray to go with your wipes, the high pressure sprayer to clean diapers before they go in the laundry, and an odor removing spray you can use on diapers or around the house.

We took these photos as soon as the new Butterfly Duo arrived. This is the organic Beco with solid colors and owl design.

I was especially impressed by the soft feel of the fabric and the charcoal gray strap color rather than the usual black or brown. This is definitely the one I’d buy :)

These photos show the sleeping hood up in one photo and taken off for the other. The snaps are easy and more functional than the clips on older versions.

Edit January 2010 – all Owl Beco designs are now sold out. No more are being made. 10 other colors are in stock including the newer fall and spring designs.
