African mothers see baby strollers as abhorrent fad

Kaytee, I'm certain you can find something that would suit

I think I might just go pick the brains of the ladies in the baby wearing thread for recommendations and dig up some money for something decent

WRT the article, I agree with pps that the last paragraph is fab. I love that natural, instinctual parenting is the norm, whereas in western culture it's "alternative" and "whacky".

I love wearing my DS - haven't done for a few months, but the option is still there. I do carry him without the babycarrier still, although less often now as he is 5 so can walk for himself.

The pushchair was great when I'm in pain and can't carry DS, also fantastic for shopping. You stack that thing right, you can get all the Christmas shopping in there plus some alcohol and have the child in the carrier.

My favourite carrier memory was that we lived in a very snobby village when Liebling was younger. One of our neighbours uncurled her lip just enough to ask "do you even HAVE a pushchair?" - as I was clearly a dreadful mother for walking around giggling with her son instead of being able to ignore him.
