frame baby carrier

I just found out we may be going to Scotland VERY soon!  While I'm super excited I just realized that I need to do ALOT of preparations. One is to get a passport for an infant. Kinda funny to have a passport with a picture of an infant in it. A child's passport doesn't expire for 5 years. While this is convenient, it's also weird to think that when she is 5 years old she will look nothing like her passport picture :P

Passport aside, I have been looking into frame backpack carriers. Little chunky monkey grew out of her infantino carrier and will only agree to the moby wrap if she's sitting in front and facing outward. This rules out the Ergo. While the moby is super comfortable, this does put limits on what you can/can't do while wearing her. This is also just an OK position for hiking. I am hesitant to get a backpack carrier due to their enormous size. While it may work well on daddy I'm afraid the giant carrier will dwarf me and just look plain stupid.

While looking online the other day I discovered the city carrier by kokopax. I think we'll take a trip to the local baby store and try one out. They look promising.

Very stylish, lightweight and easy to take on/off.  Plus she'll be sitting up high where she can see everything (staring at a back is her biggest protest of back-carrying with the moby). I also like them because they don't look as out of place as a typical backpack carrier when you're making quick runs to the grocery store. Let's hope this all it's cracked up to be.
