#2I was hoping this would be a topic about small carriers in FS2.

#4They tend to be frowned upon in the UK (at least the parts I come from) - I guess because everyone wants to clutter the streets and block up the buses with those monster prams from day 1. Yet here in Korea it's the other way around - it's the pram lovers that are frowned upon because they think a baby should be close to a warm bodied person.

#5Not surprising, really - Baby Orangutans are in constant skin to skin contact with their mothers for the first six months of life - in comparison to other primates, humans have a relatively loose physical relationship with their offspring.

Re: baby carriers
#6They are? That's news to me. Admittedly I don't see many (except for the toddler-size backpack versions), but that's possibly because any woman who's just given birth is too bloody sore to actually carry a baby using one (and men, natch, are still expected to go back to work after two weeks rather than have a sensible length of paternity leave).They tend to be frowned upon in the UK (at least the parts I come from)

#7From the reactions of people I've spoken to, they seem to think that baby carriers are for poor people only...*cue rollseyes*
I dislike such a reaction and strongly defend baby carriers whenever anyone turns their nose up.
Infact, turning ones nose up is a very Southern reaction, is it not?

Re: baby carriers
#9I know I've seen some concern about the kind where the baby faces the wearer, since I think there have been a few cases of babies nearly suffocating in them.

#10That was the 'sling' kind, though, not the kind above. With that kind, the baby has to face the wearer anyway - the neck isn't strong enough to support looking out the way.I know I've seen some concern about the kind where the baby faces the wearer, since I think there have been a few cases of babies nearly suffocating in them.

#11Ah, okay. I'm not yet well-versed in newborn conveyance.
