Not only famous mothers, but also celebrity fathers like Liev Schreiber, Brad Pitt, and Gavin Rossdale have been spotted with their baby carriers. The great thing about them is that they are not only fun and fashionable, but also a very practical, useful and comfortable for both baby and parent.
The Kelty Kids Kangaroo baby carrier was rated #1 by Consumer Reports for comfort and performance, with a zip-out hood for protection and privacy for nursing.
