Every study we have ever read shows that babies are meant to be held. 
But as with most things in life, there are right ways and wrong ways; safe or dangerous; comfortable or not.

Taught by one of Metro Minis' trained and certified babywearing educators,Babywearing 101 is the perfect opportunity to learn safe and proper carrying of babies from newborn to toddler.

Although we carry over 40 different styles and brands of baby carriers, this class covers the very basics on the five different styles of baby carriers. It is designed to be a casual, one-hour introduction to baby slings. Babywearing 101 is ideal for those who have never worn a baby and have little or no experience with carriers. We will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each style and concentrate on your family's unique needs to discover the best carrier for you. 

Topics covered include; one-shoulder vs. two-shoulder carriers, respiration issues, spinal stress issues, correct carrying positions, demonstrations of the different pouches,ring slings, Asian style carriers (or "mei tais"), soft-structured carriers ("buckle carriers"), stretchy wraps, woven wraps. There will be an informal question and answer period followed by an informal try-on session. 

Get a discount of 5% off one carrier or 10% off two or more carriers bought the same day you attend class. 
Please note: Due to the overwhelming popularity of this class, there will be No Drop-Ins unless space is available.  You must register for each person attending this class  here or by calling the store. Thank you!
