Dads get less time with the kiddos, so when they do it's nice for them to be active and wear baby for closeness, my hubby loved wearing our girls and would love your carrier for # 3 when we do get prego again;) And he's really hoping for a boy this time! I think Dad's feel more stylish wearing these than pushing a stroller!

Real men wear babies!! My husband wore our daughter as much as I did and we both really enjoy baby wearing. It's one of the most natural things and people always marveled at how our baby had such a good disposition and didn't cry much. We attribute that to baby wearing and nursing on demand. :) Your carriers are beautiful and we would love to have one!!
I would love one of these carrier!! a friend is having a baby and i would love to gift it to her :)
I would love to win one of these because my husband is just getting into attachment parenting and wants to take an active roll but all the carriers he's seen are very girly! Thank you so much for this awesome giveaway!
I'd love to win this!
I agree with "manly" patterns... maybe even some masculine features like a D-ring clip for keys or a velcro area for patches?
Also, just emphasizing the men more in advertising might be beneficial.
I would love one of these ~!!!!!
with my husband I didn't push it, he just saw the great bond my children and I formed from babywearing. He was in awe of how it soothed them and calmed them. He offers on a regular basis now :)

I always had a soft structured carrier around for my husband to use, but he never seemed to wear it. Finally, once our kiddo got heavy enough, his arms were tired and he gave in. I started finding the Ergo with all the straps on the largest settings, so I knew it was getting some use when I wasn't around.
We're going to try for #2 this year, and would love to try a Beco.

I would love one of these carriers! My husband quickly became a convert to baby carriers when he realized how easy it was to get our little girl to sleep in one. That, and it was so much easier to protect her from anyone and anything when he held her close. ;-) Gotta love protective daddies!
I would love to win one of these as my husband loves to carry our son.
The advertisments need to show the man carrying the baby and his partner/wife looking at him in an adoring way vs having her always look only at the baby.
Next best thing is to show a man carrying a baby and have a women and her friends stare at him as they pass. I find nothing sexier than a man who is willing to carry is baby, and I am sure many women would agree with this.

The thing that made my dh babywear was having his own in a very Laredo size - a custom sized sling in the early months, and then a used hard structure carrier we found that was actually big enough for him. He is quite big so most carriers are too small to use at all, or too small to work well with his body even if the straps expand enough.
I would love to win one of these carriers. I've always wanted to try a Beco! I think more dads would wear their babies if they realized what abond it helps to create with their child.

I would so love one of these awesome carriers! I think we could get daddys to start wearing their babies more often by making more carriers that are geared towards mean, ie; colors & styles...

I would LOVE to win. I really enjoy baby wearing and still wear my 15 month old. :)
As far as getting men to wear them...it'd probably just take "manly" themed carriers and possibly (depending on the guy) more knowledge of the benefits of baby wearing. :)
OH my goodness, how I would love one of these carriers!! They are simply amazing!!
As for getting men to babywear, it's easy with my husband...usually when we go camping or hiking, he wants to be the one carrying the baby in the carrier :)
I LOVE your carriers. I had one (skulls and crossbones one) with my son and am looking to get a new one for my new baby girl that is due in Aug :)
I would absolutely love one! I've always had an Ergo, but my daughter is complaining of it hurting her legs. The Becco is the one I wanted to try out! As far as getting men to babywear, advertising is a huge key. Have more daddies in the ads. Moms know they want one already. Also, have some "manly" prints...camo, American flag, etc. That might make it more appealing to them.

I want one! I want one!
My hubby wears our son all the time. I think "manly" colors are important as well as always keeping men in the advertising. The more they see it, the more it's normal! Also, my hubby seems to get lots of attention from the ladies when he's carrying our son. I'm usually not present... but my boys sure are chick magnets.
Not that this should be a reason for men babywearing...
