Back in 2008 I spent hours (really, hours, I am compulsive like that) online researching the different baby carriers available, and I came across information about the Angelpack company that really made an impression on me.
Did you know that all Angelpack carriers are made by hand, by friends and family of the founder, in her home town in the Dominican Republic?
Or that ALL of their solid fabric combinations (I love their new fresco line) and a few of the printed fabrics are100% certified organic cotton?
That both the Angelpack website and sewing house are powered by alternative energy?
Or that the company was started by a mama with an idea who sewed the first Angelpack herself?
Luke bought my Angelpack for me as a Christmas gift shortly after I decided it was the one for me, and the first thing I noticed (after the cute fabric) was how easy it is to put on, to adjust, and how COMFORTABLE it is to wear. I knew I had chosen well and feel that way to this day. I love that I can still wear Alice, who is two and a half and about 33 pounds, and then easily adjust it one-handed when I put Hal, who is six months and 17 pounds, back in. I love that I can pop my baby in and buckle it up so quickly, that curious heads in the preschool parking lot all turn and stare. I use it almost every single day and am so glad I found it.
Win it! Angelpack is giving one of you an Angelpack LX (retail $139) baby carrier! And they ship internationally, so this is open to all!
To enter leave a comment (make sure your email address/contact info is included somewhere so I can contact you if you win) telling me the craziest place you've worn your baby or which pattern from the ready-to-shop or pre-order sections of the Angelpack website you would choose or whatever else you want.
For an additional entry, become a fan of Angelpack on Facebook and leave an additional comment letting me know you did.
I'll choose a winner randomly after 11:59pm EST Tuesday, March 22.
I am still so grateful for all of your support when I lost my favorite baby carrier, and to Angelpack for gifting me a new one, providing one for this giveaway, and giving me the opportunity to share the babywearing love.
Ready,
set,
come on,
let's go...
hooray hooray!
Oh man, first comment, really? Pooh.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I 'd love the red/black fresco! I was seriously dying to get one (ever since they gave you a new one)!
Yay! fingers crossed

ReplyDeleteCraziest place? Hmmmm...I have worn my babies everywhere but I got the most attention when I wore him in to the Body Worlds exhibit, you know with the bodies? Apparently babies shouldn't see that :-)
ReplyDeleteThe craziest place I've worn my daughter was in the Luray Caverns in Virginia. She was 5 months old and everyone commented how quiet she was. Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI also like Angelpack on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteI wear my little man in the grocery (he hates the pumpkin seat) which doesn't seem at all weird to me, but people stare at me like they've never seen such a thing!

Checking out their website and they look awesome and so comfy. I love the Shoreline angelpack and the Blue Safari angelpack. Also liked them on facebook as well. Thompson0805@gmail.com Thanks and good luck to everyone else.

I like the chocolate sherbert carrier and enjoy carrying my baby everywhere I go! debyoderfair@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI wore my baby to school in Xela, Guatemala where it was so cold that my wet hair would freeze before I was done washing it. And then the baby'd have a blow out poop and we'd have to strip him down in that bitter cold and wash him up....
ReplyDeleteI also liked angelpack on facebook.
ReplyDeleteLove this, Erin! :) Craziest place I've worn my baby? I should know this... Hmm... A Celine Dion concert. LOL. Also while trying on jeans at Gap.
ReplyDeleteIf I win I would be giving it to someone as a gift. :)

ReplyDeleteMy baby is just 2 months old, so I haven't had the chance to wear him anywhere really weird yet. I'm boring, I guess, but I like the Fresco Gray-Black AngelPack best!
ReplyDeleteI wear my little girl every day nonstop. How can anybody have more than one baby and NOT babywear?

I have a 2.5 year old son and receieved a Baby Bjorn for my baby shower. I still haven't figured out how to truely wear it. I was very frustrated with how hard it was to use. I think I used it twice. After reading your blog I'm very interested in getting an Angelpack...I'm due with my second child in August and think it would be great to be able to carry the baby and have my hands free for cleaning, taking care of my toddler, etc. I love how easy it seems, although a little out of our price range. I've had my eye on the Red Safari pattern.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being so honest in your blog, I really enjoy it.
I also liked Angelpack on Facebook.

Craziest place I've worn my baby, well, probably an Orthodox Greek wedding in which we had to stand for most of the duration (2 hours), and she was quiet the whole time at 6 months old :)
ReplyDeleteCourtney.Turner87 (at) gmail. com
I too, also like them on facebook!
ReplyDeleteI love your babywearing photos on instagram!
ReplyDeleteSo, the craziest place I think I've ever worn my baby is bridal shower that I thought was okay to bring my baby to because it was being held during the day, but when I got there, there were PENISES everywhere. Banners, cupcake toppers, takeaways. No joke.
mona at kirida.com
Nautical is my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteWow...I have "worn" my babies everywhere!....Um..oh probably onto job sites (our family owns a construction biz) That always gets a second look or two :)
livethelegendarylife@yahoo(dot)com
Ooooh...this is so exciting. I didn't really wear the twins - I kind of felt like it was just one thing I didn't have the time to research and figure out with the two of them. I wish I had, I think it would have really helped Micah, but it just didn't happen. I definitely plan on getting a carrier this second/third time around. I love the Mod Garden, Nautical, and Chocolate Sherbert prints. (Pick me :)
ReplyDeleteCraziest place I've worn my baby is the bathroom, while using it. Try telling me you haven't!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. A giveaway I desperately want to win!!
ReplyDeleteWell, our most unique babywearing is likely dancing tango. Joaquin spent his first summer dancing on us at SummerDance in Chicago. People still identify us by 'the people that tango with the baby' -- works for me.
Erica@Tangoparatodos.com
how fun that you have this giveaway, erin! i have been drooling over an angelpack since your story. i love the chocolate sherbet one- they do have such beautiful prints.
ReplyDeletealso, i of course, like angelpack on facebook. :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm....craziest place I've ever worn my child.....Probably the Chicago Auto Show. Kinda boring, huh? But hey, I've never seen a baby-wearing mama look hotter than when I was sitting in the new Mercedes proto-type with a baby strapped to me. :-D
ReplyDeleteWow! Such a cool company and it was so sweet of them to give you a new one when Target carelessly lost your other one. I love the Fresco Grey-black pre-ordered carrier. Hope I win!

When I was 7 months pregnant I wore my 23 month old in a sling while I was being a pall bearer at my Grandmothers funeral.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'd say that was the craziest ;)
i LOVE this company and my Angelpack! i just wanted to say that ... since I already have one, if I happen to be chosen, I'll gift it to someone. :)
ReplyDeleteAw, I love it!! Happy happy stories.
ReplyDeleteCraziest place: maybe the protests at Madison's Capitol in crowds of over 100,000 people, while pushing my older 2 in a double stroller and waving my anti-Governor sign in the air through chants of "What's disgusting? Union busting!"
I friended them on facebook back when they gifted you the carrier, but I'll click over now and share their site with my FB friends. :)
Yay for wonderful companies who treat their employees with dignity and respect, fair wages and safe working conditions.
Never heard of this carrier before. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteWhere haven't I worn my kids? As my babies aren't so little anymore. I'll be gifting it to a friend.
ReplyDeleteI have a thing for hoot owls :) so id say that one, but the safari one is cute too!!
ReplyDeleteHeres my email
drea[at]dreawood.com
Your blogs cute btw! :)
im a fan of angelpack!
ReplyDeleteis there a crazy place to wear your baby? ;) i think crazy is trying to get through target with a brand new baby (2 days old) and a 2 year old and a 5 year old. babywearing makes it possible though. i've used the same ring sling over the years with all 3 kids, and i LOVE when people stop me and say ... "wow. it's so amazing the things they come up with nowadays." um. really? these have been around quite possibly FOREVER.
ReplyDeletei would LOVE to win this ... that poor ring sling is on it's last threads.
thank you!
and i {like} them on facebook!
ReplyDeleteI didn't wear my first baby that much but the craziest was the neighborhood easter egg hunt with kids running everywhere - not really all that crazy actually...I plan on wearing my next baby due in Sept all the time! lizbethchilds (at) gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI wore my babies at mountain bike races all the time in the summer (but not while riding a bike - ha!). One time I even had to wear my daughter in a front carrier so I could use the port-a-potty when there was no one around to watch her. Eek!
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of Angelpack on FB and I became a fan after you shared your awesome story.
ReplyDeleteSweet!
ReplyDeleteI love good giveaways!!
Especially ones that serve such a great purpose...like making life as a mother just a little bit easier.
I am going to need a good carrier when we have another baby! I have been borrowing a friend's bjorn for now, but it's not my favorite.
Craziest place? Maybe hiking in Hawaii. Might not be the craziest but certainly the farthest!
She won't be arriving for another month, so I haven't gotten to wear her anywhere, yet :) SO looking forward to it, though! What a beautiful carrier...
ReplyDeletekatedrummery at gmail dot com
I've worn my babies pretty much everywhere I've gone with them and I can't think of a place I've worn them that wearing them seemed crazier than not wearing them!
ReplyDeleteBut I did wear my (then 11 month old) daughter when my husband and I went to our 5 year law school reunion. It didn't seem like a strange choice when I made it, especially since she was still nursing so she had to come or I had to stay home, but she was the only baby there from our class. And she was very happy riding along with me.
I absolutely love being so close to my babies and the convenience of wearing them. I've tried other slings in the past and have several I really like, but due to your glowing reviews, I'd really like to try an Angelpack with the next baby this fall! They sound like a really great company with a fantastic product.
Your experiences with Angelpack have convinced me that, when I'm married and start having children, I'm totally going to get one for myself! And I'll be passing along the information and excitement to all my friends as they start having kids, too! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteI love the Hoot pattern! Thanks for doing this. Carriers are really expensive and I'm just getting ready to start my baby registry.
ReplyDeleteWonderful giveaway, Erin and Angelpack! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI like the red and black combo. Very boyish.
I can't think of a crazy place I've worn any of my kiddos. Maybe in a snooty restaurant in Vail? Not crazy, but people acted like it was crazy.
...and I liked them at FB!

I love the Hoot Print, with the owls :) my baby isn't quite here yet, so I haven't worn it at all yet ;)
ReplyDeleteI like Angelpack on FB too!
ReplyDeleteSo craziest place... I let a friend convince me to walk up the Cerro San Cristobal in Santiago Chile just three weeks after having my first baby. It was INSANE! Thankfully she slept the whole climb!!! The Angelpack would have likely been WAY more comfortable then the carrier I was rockin'.
ReplyDeleterenee.cun@gmail.com
ooooo, would love the safari one! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm due in two and a half weeks and I would love to wear my baby in the red safari print Angelpack! They look awesome and though this is my first baby and I have no experience with it, I have a feeling I'll be a huge baby-wearer!
ReplyDeleteI'm not trying to win an angelpack, my youngest is four and my back hurts just thinking about it. But do I ever wish I had one about four years ago! I had to travel by plane with a six year old and my then 2 month old baby. I had a carrier for her, but when I went through security something beeped. (Turned out to be my belt) Anyway, in the effort to figure out what was metal, I had to take her out. It was impossible, and everyone was just staring instead of helping, and the line was backing up! I just wanted to melt down and cry! So hooray for a quick release carrier and best wishes to you!
ReplyDeleteI also just became fan #279 of Angel Pack Baby Carriers on Facebook!
ReplyDeleteOooh. I'd choose the fresco grey/black.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
SparklePowerCandace@gmail.com
Oh gosh! this is exciting!
ReplyDeleteCraziest place? Don't know... Favorite place? For sure, Cocoa Beach. We went last month and I wore Jamie all day, while the biggers played with Daddy in the surf. He napped and smiled and charmed passers-by from his perch.

I'm off facebook for Lent, but I "liked" angelpack there the first time you posted about their generous response to your lost carrier. Does that count?

ReplyDeleteah! this is so timely. i am due with my second any day now, and I've been researching carriers. i know i'll need lots more hands-free baby carrying now that there's a toddler in the house.
ReplyDeleteand! i friended angelpack on facebook back when they gave you a free one. so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI have worn my daughter everywhere. Bathrooms, weddings, airplanes. You name it. No place feels strange anymore!

ReplyDeleteI no longer need a baby carrier, or at least not at the moment, but all the info you just provided has me sold on mentioning them to new moms who ask about baby carriers in my future.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE my Angelpack (bought on your good advice), and I have worn Maggie a lot: preschool, playgrounds, making dinner, while hiking, etc... I would be giving this Angelpack to my sister!!! I really like the Chocolate Sherbert.
ReplyDeleteCraziest place, hmmm. Well, I wore my oldest in China, Thailand, and Pakistan. We visited a huge mosque in Islamabad, and an even huger stone Buddha in southwest China. All with my baby happy and content, snuggled close to mama. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Red Safari print and have a two month old I'd love to wear in it!
ReplyDeleteAlso, although it's not really crazy, I wore my first all over Peru when we lived there.

How is a person to choose???? I do think I love the chocolate sherbert pattern the best though. Quite certain that my little girl, who will be 20 months when her little brother or sister is born, would have to have her very own mini carrier to wear her babies around just like mama!

I am a fan of Angelpack on facebook and also because I have purchased one and they sent it all the way to New Zealand for me and my wee man. These are fantastic and it has superceded my Ergo Baby carrier by far, so much softer and scrummier. I love it heaps and although Noah is still getting used to it and does not like me strapping him so close to me when it is hot we are just starting autumn and soon winter so will be in full force then with my Angelpack and snuggling with him in it. Fan tas tic xxxx
ReplyDeleteI would probably pick the fresco black-gray, the chocolate sherbert, or the red safari. The strangest place for me...hiking when we came across a cemetery. Sort of strange I guess. (nkuroiwa at myway dot com)
ReplyDeleteI have not actually worn my baby anywhere strange, since I'm not due for a little while yet. On the Angelpack site, though, I really like the charcoal trellis pattern.
ReplyDeleteAlso have liked them on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteI also liked on fb back when you first mentioned them. I had wanted to get one then...but you know budgets! (fingers crossed!)--nkuroiwa at myway dot com
ReplyDeleteChocolate Sherbet!
ReplyDeleteI love the butterfly garden one that's sold exclusively elsewhere but hey...
Weirdest place? Not necessarily weird but I was back-wrapping Olivia in a parking garage outside Target and a couple actually stopped to watch me.
Awkward.

ReplyDeleteI like them on Facebook!
ReplyDeleteOk, I'll leave a comment simply to tell the craziest place I wore a baby:
ReplyDeleteA show in a cave.
I took my 3 children (I wore the youngest, just 7 months old) to the very last show of one of our favorite bands, Silver Jews. The show was literally in a cavern in Tennessee (called the Bluegrass Underground) at 4 in the afternoon.
I thought it would be acoustic -- but no, they were plugged in. And my poor little children could not handle the volume. If you go to this youtube video of the show, and listen at around 0:46, you can hear the faint cries of an infant. That was my unhappy baby, right before we all left the show after just one song.
I don't feel like I've worn my kids any where weird. I suppose the dressing room or bathroom? Or maybe at wedding set up jobs?
ReplyDeleteI'd love one of these packs. They look awesome!
I like AP on fb!
ReplyDeleteI think I would love the Chocolate Sherbert AngelPack LX Organic Baby Carrier
ReplyDeleteI am also now a fan on facebook...
ReplyDeleteWell, I have 3 kiddos and have worn them all everywhere, weddings, funerals, stores, airplanes, fairs, and even going potty. So I can't think of what seems the craziest...pretty much everywhere I go wearing a baby I get crazy looks :)
ReplyDeleteI've never tried an Angelpack and would love to try an one! I liked them on facebook when they gave you a free replacement.
What a great contest! :) I have only worn my 3 month old at home so far because it is to cold in Chicagoland to use one currently. I have a baby bjorn and my son is working on getting used to it. So I would love to win so I could try out a different kind.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I'm loving their Chocolate Sherbert pattern. And, just for kicks...craziest place...does the bathroom count? It doesn't even seem lika a crazy place to wear a baby now since I've done it so many times.
ReplyDeleteI'm a facebook fan too. And, oops. That was me up there. I'm going to guess you know that though...just in case I win. Fingers very crossed!
ReplyDeleteI love the Button Delight and the MOD Garden! Such awesome prints!

Craziest place I wore my baby in a carrier would be the teeny washroom on an airplane ...
ReplyDeleteFrom the Angelpack website I would say that Chocolate Sherbert looks delicious, but to go with most of my clothes I would have to say the more sensible Metro Black. :)
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletei'm a fan on FB and love, love, love what they did for you. i would love to try one out & would love to get one of the kid ones sometime, too!
ReplyDeletei'd have to say that the craziest place that i've worn my baby was Clayton in the bathroom of our lawyer's office in Kampala, Uganda. bathrooms aren't quite the same as here...even in a lawyer's office...so i was actually really thankful to just be able to leave him in the carrier and go about my business. =)
ReplyDeleteI did not wear my daughter, but I am hoping to wear the second child. This is a new experience for me!
ReplyDeleteI have admired the Angelpack ever since you blogged about losing yours. Winning one would be fabulous so I can give it to one of my favorite mom friends :)
ReplyDeleteWow so many comments. I love the charcoal trellis or the morocco print or the wonderland. they are all lovely.
ReplyDeleteI don't know the craziest place I've worn Wesley, but I just learned to nurse in the carrier last week (after 8 months) and am pleased with our new skill :) He has stopped wanting to nurse anywhere else, though...That said, I am tired of the Moby & Bjorn, given how much I carry the babe...
I love the Espresso Trellis AngelPack LX Baby Carrier! All the carriers are so cute1
ReplyDeleteOoo ooo! I love the idea of the Angelpack... Love the Charcoal Trellis fabric. And the craziest place I've worn my baby was last year when my husband and I took turns wearing our almost four year old while she napped and we walked around at our local stock show and rodeo. People were amazed that we could wear her at almost 40lbs. Ha!
ReplyDelete(if I win I'll be wearing our new babe that will be here in about 4 weeks :)

ReplyDeleteLOVIN' the Blue Safari print!!
ReplyDeleteEven though my 4moDS is baby #4, I haven't really been a frequent babywearer until now. Miles was colicky for the 1st 2 1/2 months, and snuggling in the Moby seemed to soothe him. I've been hooked ever since. ;)
I'd ADORE a SSC for the times ahead!!
c_lraymond at hotmail dot com

I like all of the girly fabrics! I am a fairly new baby wearer with my 6 month old so I don't really have a crazy place u have worn her. I have been wearing her everywhere!
ReplyDeleteJust liked on facebook!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. I wear my babes in the pool and ocean with a nice water sling.
ReplyDeleteI had my 4.5 year old when I was still finishing college. I wore her in a stretchy wrap to two of my finals when she was 6 weeks old...really freaked out some of the other students, unfortunately! I also wore her in a Beco to my research methods lab a few times, a year later. =)
ReplyDeleteSo, I've never actually worn my babe....well, that's not true, I've worn her a few times but I've never been totally comfortable with the carriers.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping to find a carrier for baby #2 that does the trick! Thanks for the giveaway.

ReplyDeleteHmmm, craziest place? Maybe to try on clothes. Or to use a public restroom while still wearing baby :) Great giveaway! I mostly just use my ring sling w/my current (4th) baby, who is now six weeks old, but have been looking into mai tei's/soft structured carriers so this looks perfect!

ReplyDeleteThe craziest place I've ever worn my baby, probably standing in line on Black friday in the middle of the night so I could buy my kids christmas gifts! She was super warm, and she enjoyed shopping with Mommy! But boy, did we get some looks.
I love the Blue Safari Print!

It's not so weird, but I wore my baby all through airports on our trip home - Johannesburg, Amsterdam, New York, Memphis. What was a weird sight is that I was alone, so I was wearing my baby, carrying the baby bag and rolling his car seat for the plane! But I was so comfy with my baby carrier!
ReplyDeleteWould love to win! I like the Red Safari Angelpack.
I plan on wearing my baby everywhere. I think it will be especially convenient when doing chores around the house and grocery shopping. I would love the Charcoal Trellis carrier. Thanks for the giveaway!

I would love love to have an Angelpack for my newborn Ever! We just baby carried her on a long hike. Craziest place...Nickel City, throngs of shouting kids!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE babywearing! I don't know that I have ever done it anywhere "crazy" but pretty much every time I do babywear, people look at me like I'm crazy.
ReplyDeleteCraziest place? That's a toughie. I finally realized I could breastfeed my 6mo in the Ergo while walking around the West Village last week. Before I had a baby that would have sounded crazy to me. Now, totally normal!
ReplyDeleteI had no idea Angelpack was such a wonderful company. I really love to support businesses like that.
ReplyDeleteNo babies for me, but my brother's baby is due in July and this could make a perfect gift for the new family.

If it was me, I'd go for the Chocolate Sherbert. But since, if I win, I'll be passing this along to my sister, the choice would be up to her!

Oh, boy! I love the look of these carriers and would love, love, love to have one. by baby is due in four weeks(!), and I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to use for baby wearing. I love the charcoal trellis print in the website.

I gave away one of my favorite carries to a friend who needed one, but now I am in need of one for my baby. I love the Blue Safari fabric.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!

I have an 18mo old little girl that I wore every day in my baby Bjorn before she outgrew it. I would love a more comfortable pack to wear our baby #2 in that is due in July. The craziest place that I wore McKenna to is a concert when she was 5 months old - this is where she learned to clap and dance. :)
ReplyDeleteI also wore her snowshoeing when she was less than 3 months old.
Love to be outside with my babies!
I liked "Angelpack" on Facebook and left a comment there as well.
Hope to hear from you soon. :)

these are beautiful carriers. i've been wanting to try this type for a while now... i remember admiring your angelpack a while back, & then feeling so sad for you when you lost yours! i was super impressed at their response to the target incident. what a great company :)
ReplyDeleteoh, and craziest place i've worn my baby (not real crazy, hehe) is in the whole foods parking lot while my husband's band played music for a beer tasting/ art auction
Craziest place I wore my baby..... probably the restroom! I've worn them everywhere though, even long hikes!
ReplyDeleteI love the Charcoal Trellis!

ReplyDeleteThis is probably a long shot, but I desperately NEED this carrier. My toddler's crazy wild with my newborn.
ReplyDeleteI love the Blue Safari print!

Probably the "craziest" place I've worn a baby would have been in the hospital when she was in for a broken cheekbone and a concusion. It was the only way I could keep her still for any of her procedures and just about the only way she'd sleep.

The craziest place I've ever worn a baby was a benefit ball. It wasn't completely swanky but I still felt very mommish! But baby was happy!

I keep trying to convince one of my friends who just had a baby to get an Angelpack. Maybe if I could just win her one...

ReplyDeletewould LOVE to try out this comfy carrier since DS is too big for my sling!
ReplyDeleteWould love this carrier as DS is too big for my sling!
ReplyDeleteWe wore our twins (one on each of our backs), just over 2yo, to a star gazing once. It proved so beneficial, as it was late, and really dark inside the building where the telescope was, so we didn't have to keep track of them! I like the love print!
