love the exercise link! but what's up with all the fabric inventions that cater to germaphobes? seriously. letting kids get sick bolsters the immune system, people! they'll only be sicker adults if you don't let them be sick kids.

If I saw someone at the park using the swing scarf, there is no way I could keep a straight face.

Babywearing is great exercise--trust me, I'm down more than 30 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight--but please get a carrier that will actually distribute the weight evenly and support your baby and your back well. It's also better for your baby to face inwards.

How thick is the swing scarf? I dont care about germs on the swings, but this summer there have been plenty of days when the swings were way too hot to put a baby bum in. I resorted to lining the swing with my wrap or mei tai so that my swing-addicted 1 year old could safely sit in one.
