Belle Baby Carriers are a beautiful line of baby carriers that offer all the benefits of baby carrying with a stylish look. Belle baby carriers are made in the USA and are very easy to use.
I have tried some other baby carriers, and became frustrated with the extensive belts and buckles, so much so that I didn’t ever actually use them after trying them out. The idea of having to adjust and fit them on each time I want to put my son in a carrier, which would be daily, was just too unappealing and inconvenient. I decided I’d prefer to just hold him, especially since it turns out little man doesn’t like to be put in slings either (he looks cramped and annoyed).
Luckily, Belle contacted me to try one of their beautiful baby carriers. There are only two simple points of adjustment, with three buckles- the crossover straps that hold the upper part of the carrier (and buckle on each side), and the waistbelt, which helps to distribute the weight of the baby. The Belle Baby Carrier allows you to wear your baby facing toward you, or away from you, and there is an included (removeable) head support panel if your child needs extra support.
Another qualm I had with many baby carriers was the limited styles offered. Belle makes an extensive line of great-looking baby carriers. I chose Sky for my son, but they also have florals, a cool-looking leopard pattern, and an organic denim carrier that look really stylish. The Sky Belle Baby Carrier fabric is a really pretty, soft microsuede, and it’s lined with dark brown, very soft fur.
Some other great features of this baby carrier include padded straps for the wearer’s comfort, very durable straps and fabric for safety, ease of cleaning and storage (it’s compact), and the fact it is designed to put the weight of the baby on your hips, instead of your back and shoulders (important if you carry your baby for hours a day). It comes with a head support panel for little ones that can’t support their own heads yet, or for sleeping babies, and it is also designed to support your baby’s developing spine. Little man loves to be near us, sleep on us, etc and he was very happy in this carrier (facing toward us). Anything that keeps him close to us seems to make him very happy.
Wonderful Benefits of Baby Carrying:
♥ Wearing your baby close to you allows you to easily reach, caress, and talk to your baby,
♥ Being physically close to a parent and being touched often gives a baby a greaters sense of well-being, and higher levels of self-esteem later in life,
♥ A mother and father feel more bonded to a baby that is close to them for at least three hours a day,
♥ Your baby is safe- the Belle Baby Carrier is safe and secure, and your baby is always within reach,
♥ Baby wearing allows for easy, discreet nursing,
♥ You are able to carry your child and keep your hands free for errands, shopping for groceries, etc.,
♥ Your baby is unable to run off if you are distracted for a moment,
♥ Your baby can fall asleep if he wants to, and you don’t have to put him into a stroller or seat, or even tote one around as you go about your day,
♥ Studies show babies that are carried sleep better,
♥ Studies show that babies that are held and touched often have stronger immune systems and develop higher IQ’s.
Belle carries a classic line of baby carriers, as well as an organic line. I chose Sky because I have a son, but if I ever have a daughter, I’ll probably get one of the more feminine styles to carry her in. The Belle Baby Carriers are made for babies 8-30 lbs.

I would love the cappuccino. Frankly I would love to have any of them that are gender neutral since I have boy/girl twins.
I would love to win this carrier! I would choose the urban denim style for our little one that is due in March.
Organic Moss, if you please! These appear to be wonderfully well made.
I would choose the Organic Black carrier!
