The spouse-unit never carried the “girlier” Dakine bag, but is fine carrying our black Overland bag since it’s very REI-styled and unisex. :-) Thanks for stopping by and the lovely comment!

Personally, I like a good bag, so I can see us using both sometime.

I’ve always heard great things about their quality. I often had the baby in a carrier on my back, so something messenger-style worked better for me.
If you happen to be near a Container Store, you can get discount codes for them via RetailMeNot. A 20% off coupon saved me a bundle on them the last time around…
As for the Baby Bjorn carrier, this article can cover it more in-depth: http://www.continuum-concept.org/reading/spinalStress.html But the short of it is that it’s not good physically or mentally for them, compared to other styles of baby carriers available. Thanks SO much for the question, as you’ve inspired me to do a couple of posts on the subject! :-)

It lasted through 2 kids and then I handed it down to a friend. Lots of space and very well built.
I’m going to look into those packing cubes.
What is wrong with Baby Bjorns?

I’m not thrilled with carrying such a strong chemical around with me, though, so while I do own one, I keep it stashed in the laundry cupboard for emergencies mostly.

A more natural trick would be to carry a small mini-shaker of baking soda to remove laundry stains. Just wet the area with warm water, shake the baking soda on, and gently rub in – then toss in your wet bag for washing when you get home.
