FREE FOR SHIPPING "proclaim the name" testers needed!

I am looking for 2-4 "testers" who will receive a GloryBaby Mei-Tai free for shipping ($12)!!!!!!  Heres the thing.  My product is fantastic but I am not widely known.  I need some MT's out there with a few people who are very active babywears who can effectively "Proclaim the Name".  (in my P.S. there is another offer so read on for that too)

  The lucky testers will each recieve a GloryBaby MT of their choice or can have a Custom (standard options) made (must have fabric mailed within 3days of acceptance).  The Testers will have a short review questionaire to fill out and will need to review the product on their blog.  I will take all the sunshine and happiness you would like to spread.
  To vie for a "Proclaim the Name" spot please leave a comment for this thread and include your blog link and preferably your TBW/DS Handle  (this is so that I can see how active you are in the "babywearing genre").  Also you will need to "follow" this blog.  On SEPTEMBER 18TH I will choose the lucky testers.    I will review each persons "babywearing" history via the above sites and will choose based on who I feel will be able to "really compare" it to other things they have in their stash and their outgoingness within their own community. Thanks everyone!  For you bloggers, I'd sure love it if you could blog about this great offer (both this one and the one in my P.S)Thanks...Minda

P.S.  if you do not fit quite all the criteria still link on.  I have a few other sewers who will be taking on "quality reviewers" at a minimal testers fee.

SO SPREAD THE WORD!!!!  And an FYI if you have babywearing friends that can possibly test ya'll could save on the shipping by having it shipped together!  I am totally up for that!

  1. I don't fit all of your criteria but if you decide you need a newbie I'd love to test for you. My DDs is not quite 2.5 and almost 5 months old and I have/used a pouch sling, Ergo and Beco Butterfly 2. I can post on my blog (thomaschall.blogspot.com), diaperswappers (smilelykylie) and twitter (@kyliejohall)

  2. I'd love to be a tester! DS always sleeps in the carrier and I'm sure he'd love your plush sleepinghood! I have tried plenty of SSC's and MT's in my search for the perfect fit -Beco, Pikkolo, O&A, Kanga, Calyx, connecta, DC, KC, NHT, B'roo, tetitett, Beansling, OB Alta, RN's buckle tai (wow, this list is quite scary...I've never written them all down before). I currently have around 5 brands (and a pod) in my posession that I can do really detailed comparisons with. My TBW is tblmom. I do have a blog which is networked with an east coast based asian american mama's group...but I'd rather just email you the link if that's okay (I had a weirdo commenter who repeatedly left inappropriate comments).

  4. I would love to be a tester! I am expecting my first child next month and have been looking into my babywearing options. So far I have planned on trying the moby as my first choice, because of its multi-position options, but this looks like it would work just as well and be easier to use! I can post on diaperswappers (mrosehughes), and my blog (which is about our new baby, and will focus both on his progress and our cloth diapering experiences) is mbhughes.blogspot.com. I can also post on facebook and to BoulderRocknMoms (a yahoo group for moms in the Boulder, CO area, where I live.

  7. hi mama! I would love to test out the mei tai. I've been hunting for the right carrier for my three month old but haven't had much sucess! I've tried baby bjorns, ringslings, hotslings and the ergo but not of them are for me! I am an active poster on Diaperswappers, I have my own blog cheepnchic.wordpress.com where I blog about all kinds of things and I have MANY momma friends who babywear as well and read my blog! AS weird as it might sound I would also be wearing this to church, where there are alot of other mamas who would just droll over your beautiful work!I'm a big cloth diaper and baby wearing advocate, and when I like something I RAVE about it to anyone who'll listen! my email is laurajelwell@yahoo.com

  8. I would also love to be a tester. I am mostly a lurker on TBW, and I'm not on the babywearing part of DS very often, but I do blog, and have written reviews there before. I have tried wraps, ring slings, pouches, Ergo, Kozy Carrier, and a bunch of homemade mei tai's that I whipped up.

    My user name on DS is delicatefade. One TBW I am delicate_fade. I also frequent my local Baby Wearing board, in Winnipeg Manitoba. I am very active there, and I have also done numerous presentations locally and will actually be doing presentations in our local prenatal classes starting in October!

    I am expecting our third baby for February 2010 and I'm SO excited to try out some new carriers!

    My personal blog is http://keithandstacey.blogspot.com

    I also write at a review blog, but that is strictly Canadian. It would give you a feel for my writing style though. http://glimpse-reviews.blogspot.com

    Thanks for the opportunity! I can't wait to hear about who you will choose!

  9. I would love to test for you and help support a wonderful new WAHM! I am a devoted babywearer of a 17.5 lb baby boy who is almost 9-months-old. I've used several different slings (WAHMs, ZoloWear, New Native) and wraps (Moby and my own homemade), as well as the Theodore Bean carrier and Ergo. I have a daughter who is in second grade and people stop me in the halls of her school almost daily when they see me wearing my son. It's a great way to put in a plug for a carrier!

    I am a member of DiaperSwappers (user name: ChesapeakeBorn), TheBabyWearer (Chesapeake_Born), and very active at MotheringDotCommunity (ChesapeakeBorn). I've actually already mentioned your product a few times on TBW and have been longing to give it a try. I'm on facebook and have my own parenting blog too.

    This is a wonderful opportunity. Thank you for making such a beautiful product!

I blog at www.twigglesandtrunks.blogspot.com & twitter too, twigglesNtrunks

  12. I would love to be a tester. The only thing is I don't use DS (kcengle) as a babywearer :( only to find diapers. I have a 6 month old... and a baby bbjorn and hotsling. I also have a blog! http://the1sttimearound.blogspot.com. I love to do product reviews and giveaways! thefirsttimearound@ymail.com

  13. Hi saw you from DS, I'd love to help you test!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Hi mama! I have been checking out your beautiful and very unique MT's since seeing some posts raving about them on TBW. I have had the opportunity to try many different MT's and SSC's including Kinderpack, Kindercarry MT, Bamberoo Delux, Bamberoo SV, and Bamberoo SSC, Beanslings MT, Dream Carrier (SSC, PT, and an original with a padded waist), Solarweave Connecta, Ergo, Beco Butterfly, Beco 4th Generation, Kanga J and XT, Olives and Applesauce, and Angelpack LX. So as you can see I have a lot to compare yours to and love trying out different carriers!
    I am active on TBW (mcasey827) and have an account on DS (mollyVA), but haven't posted there yet (although I'd be happy to). I have attended my local BWing meeting and would love to show off your MT at the next one! Unfortunately, I don't blog, but do use Facebook.
    My DS is 8 months, 20.5lbs., and about 29'. I also have a 3.5 year old who is probably about 34 lbs.
    I think this is such a great idea to get your name and product out into the community and I would welcome the opportunity to be a part of it! Thanks so much!

  16. Hrm forgot to add that I'm an Active member of our local Babywearing group where we teach about babywearing with different carriers etc. There are usually 10+ people at our meetings andI would be able to give feedback from Mamas of all different shapes and sizes along with different age/sizes babies. Anywhere from a few weeks old to a year or more. Some of them may like to help you as well to get your name out there. Let me know! Bobnbabe @ Gmail . Com
    I'm also a newly started WAHM working on anything from diapers to knitting
    Thanks Mama!

  17. We would love to be a tester, we are bf and really want to try a new carrier. I have a hs and another WAHM, don't have a blog but would not mind posting my progress as a tester. I'm not on Babywearer but I will be checking it out today. Your prints look amazing!

  18. Hi, I would loooove to test out your carrier. Have been wanting to get a Mei Tai carrier for sometime now but haven't invested yet. I am a 27 year old, SAHM (I provide child care to an 8 month old during the day) to my DS, 2 and DD, 3 months. So you can see, I heavily rely on babywearing to get me through the day with three little ones about the house. I used a Baby Bjorn with my DS and HATED it so stopped babywearing the first time around. I knew with my soon to be 2 yo and DD on the way that I wanted to give babywearing another shot. I have several types of carriers, Baby Bjorn, Snugli and some home made wraps as well as a Moby. I am on DS and CM (mriricat23) and really need to start a blog, something else I have been meaning to do for awhile now. I am an active member in mom's groups on meetup.com and have local connections to 2 cloth diapering retail stores and would love to spread the word about your carriers through a review to them.

    What a great way to get your name and business out there. Keeping my fingers crossed that my family will get to be a part of this!

  19. I would love to test and help you market your product. It looks great. DS/TBW name: nickelsey and my blog name is nickelknits.blogspot.com

    We have used a ton of carriers. Moby, Maya, Beco, Ergo, Mei Tai, pouches. My son is 8 months and 23 lbs, so comfort is key! I live in Orange County, CA where there are a ton of high end baby boutiques that I could help you get your product in. My father also owns a music school where there are tons of mom's with kids that pass through everyday. There is a retail section where I could help sell your carrier. I am pretty active in the EC mom's group in Orange County where I can help to sell your carrier to all the moms there and the AP moms as well. I could help market your carrier by doing an auction or raffle to my local LLL group to spread your name. I love babywearing, and anything I could do to help a fellow babywearing mama, I will do gladly.

  20. I would love to be a tester. I am looking for my first MT and these are beautiful. I have been a babywaerer for 2 kiddos now and am expecting a 3rd. I still wear my DD (2 years now) in a ring sling or a pouch sling. I am really looking for a MT for her, becuase I think something on two shoulders would spread her weight more evenly (she isn't too large though, she only weughs 23 lbs.). These look wonderful! I don't have a blog, but would be happy to give my honest opinion on diaperswappers and the babywearer.

  21. I would LOVE to test for you!! I belong to a local babywearing group in my area, we are currently trying to hold informational 'baby wearing' meetings. Everyone brings all the carriers they have and mommy's can try them on, and those who are interested can sample all carriers we have available. There are many types of mommies and many sized babies to try it out! :D
    Additionally, I am in the process of becoming a diaper circle leader for my area, and we have a meetup group. Since I am always wearing my son I get lots of questions, and help anyone interested in babywearing :) I currently use a pod, my son has decided that wrapping is too restrictive. and I would love to try a well made mai tai!!
    I have been baby wearing since my daughter (now 8) was an infant, back when all you could really find was a very very padded ring sling!! There are so many different things this time around!!
    I would definately sport your mai tai around town:) They look simply beautiful.

    my s/i on ds and tbw is mystimomof3 :)

  22. I would love to test! I am an avid baby wearer and plan to be for a long time. I belong to two local AP mom groups. I am 'jveprek' on TBW, AMH, and DS. I maintain two blogs, one of which I review green products (it's new but I"m getting there) http://greenmomcritique.blogspot.com/ and www.missmadisjourney.blogspot.com. I have also got many, many people in to babywearing and many local people come to me for help. I am also on a local babywearing yahoo group that meets occasionally. Thanks you for the consideration.

  24. Hi Minda! I'd love to be a tester for you! I am a very active member of the babywearing community. From local babywearing groups to being very active and vocal online. (ie: I'm on TBW daily as northzoo) Your MT looks like quite a nice design and your hood is VERY intriguing! I am expecting my 5th baby soon and my youngest is still worn as well. If you'd like more info on me, you can contact me on TBW or via email: northfamilyzoo at gmail.com. THANKS!

  26. I would love to. I wear my 11 month old daily and my 3 year old often. I have been wearing since my 7 year old was a newborn
    I am lovemyzoo on TBW and DS. I live in a BW sparce area but am known as the lady with all the carriers, and spread the word and carriers as much as I can.

  27. I would love to be considered...though not sure if I qualify. Figured it can't hurt to try, right?

    I haven't done my blog in a while, but I'm on Facebook, MDC (NicoleS), and DS (nrsenadenos). I don't discuss BWing much online, but in the real world am apparently one of the few that babywears in public - I always get stopped in the store or out walking! Plus with soon to be 4 kids under 4.5 we get some attention, LOL. I'm not currently babywearing now, being nearly 20 weeks pregnant (and my youngest weighs nearly 30 pounds!) but totally plan on it once this LO gets here in January.

    Thanks for the consideration!

  28. I would love to be a tester. I am Erin, aka Theosmom on both DS and TBW, though I am relatively new at TBW. I have been drooling over your Mei Tai's for a while now, but need to find the funds! I own a Girasol woven wrap, a Sleepy Wrap, a Scootababy, Olives and Applesauce SSC, BBO Mei Tei, and a Kozy Mei Tei. I have tried an Ergo, a Beco, and various ring slings. I really like my BBO, but I would love to try a your Mei Tai with the padded straps and padded waist:) The link to my blog is http://team-eichenlaub.blogspot.com I know several of my babywearing friends would also love to hear about this Mei Tai, so I will post a link to this posting on my facebook page. Thanks!

  29. Hi Minda - I have some friends that would wear them and have lots of friends :) Very good advertising. I will put this forward to them on my FB.

  30. PS My ds is a big boy--28 lbs and 32 inches tall at 1 year old, so I could give some great feedback on how comfortable the Mei Tai is for large babies!;)

  33. Hey mama! My name is Desirae Dubisky. I have a 2 1/2 month old daughter and have recently been getting into the world of baby wearing and I <3 it!! I have been drooling over your mei tais and am so eager to try one...even if it means purchasing one if I don't get to test (christmas is right around the corner). I currently only use a moby wrap and ring sling so I'm looking for something more versatile! I am a military wife and live in a large community of women having babies. I am trying to get more women into attachment parenting and baby wearing so I would love to spread the word for you! I don't quite fit all of the criteria, but I would love to test for you if you need a newbie! I think your carriers look amazing! My name on TBW and DS is BabyD'smommy. I'm new to TBW, but have been active on DS for a while. I also blog on myspace (Dezre87@aol.com) and facebook (Dan'slittleredneck2287). I really hope I get to test for you. Would love to spread the word about your product in the military community!

  34. I teach babywearing classes and do babywearing demos around Sacramento. I would LOVE to have a good Mei Tai for demoing and I always give the where to buy info. Even if I don't win I would still like some of your cards for my classes and friends who are interested. I will say of all the Mei Tai's I have seen yours has the neatest head rest. I currently have a 5, 3, 2, and 1 year old but hope to add another next year God willing. Oh I am also a friend of Stephanie Whalberg. I should be listed on www.wearyourbaby.com too.

  36. Hi, I'd love to be a tester for your awesome Mt's.
    I have experience in babywearing and have worn my daughter who is 4.5 and wear my son who is almost 2. We have owned hotslings,ring slings, a sachi MT, a few Babyhawks, an ergo and a moby.
    I love babywearing and love to chat it up with everyone I meet when out and about, baby carriers are always a topic starter for me so I can get your name around here in Central California really fast! I don't blog really but do post bulletins and updates often on both myspace and facebook, I can be found on The Babywearer as well as Diaperswappers all under the same username~Sweet_Fantasy_Fox
    Thank you for considering me.
    Sally

  37. I would love to be a tester as well! Stephanie Wahlberg speaks so highly of your product and passed the info onto me. We just adopted a precious baby girl on Tuesday and baby-wearing is highly recommeded for skin-to-skin contact and bonding with an adopted baby. I just purchased a moby wrap and was given a Sling Rider. I would love to compare and contrast. I am a 1st time Mom. I don't have a blog yet but plan to set one up soon to write about our experience as adoptive parents and also share with out-of-town friends/family. I have a large community of friends who have multiple children where I would love to spread the word for you! Thank you for considering me :)

  38. I'm brand new to babywearing; I'm adopting a newborn baby boy in October. The mei tais look so cool and I know that babywearing, especially with an adopted baby, is very important. We are very overwhelmed since I just found out and the baby is due Oct 23! We were matched very quickly.

  39. I'd love to be a tester! My son is almost 7 months and I wear him daily in either his "mei tai baby" carrier or his "new native sling"! At about three months he got so heavy for me in the sling, that going for walks or carrying him for more than 30 minutes really did a number on my back. When I received my Mei tai carrier I was so thrilled that his weight felt like it was cut in half and so evenly distrubuted that I can wear him for hours with no problem. The one issue I've come across is that he often sleeps in his mei tai, but his head bobbles around so much that I tend to "hunch" and thus creating the back problem again. When I saw your video and how the hood works I was amazed! My son hates to be tied too tightly when he's awake as he likes to put his arms up and fiddle with my hair, but as soon as he falls asleep I have to scoot him up higher and re-tighten so that his head seems more secure. But your hood seems so perfect, I would love to try it! I don't have a blog, but I am on DS and babygaga(copperdo1022) and facebook (Jennifer Raymond) and am asked everytime I go to the store by at least two people, how I use my carrier and if it's comfy. I would love to spread the word, as you seem to have fixed the only problem I have with my current mei tai. - Thanks for considering me!

  40. Hey there! You replied to my question on DS. I am due with #2 in 7 weeks and I have/am purchasing a number of wraps and carriers, including Moby, Beco, and a Zolowear sling. I have lots of opportunities to "proclaim the name": I'm a co-organizer of a Seattle-area attachment parenting group and an exec committee chair for a Walk Now for Autism annual event. Additionally, I'm a writer for magazines and other pubs and a blogger and can definitely spread the word! My background is in marketing, when I'm not writing I consult for organizations and help them with their marketing and outreach. I'm also a WAHM and a big supporter of other WAHMs. My business website is www.zinniastrategic.com and my blog is www.familyinprogress.blogspot.com. Thanks and good luck getting the word out!

  41. I want to be a tester! But I don't have my own blog or anything. :( But if you just need another person, pick me!! :) I've made two of my own mei tai's so I have some idea of the work that goes into them and the stuctural integrity they must have. My DS/TBW screename is Sakari.

  44. Hi! I don't think I meet your criteria because I have a 3-year-old and an 18-month-old. We are TTC as well. Please keep me in mind for future testing.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Hi - what a great idea to promote your carrier! I have heard great things about the Glory Baby Mei Tai from my friend, but it just wasn't something we could splurge on at the moment. Although I am not widely known on the web for my baby carrying, I do have a HUGE following on my site. As a matter of fact, I once bought a product and raved about it so much, that the Grandmother who made it was overwhelmed with orders and so grateful. Over 200+ a day read my online journal.
    My son is nearly 2 and has Cerebral Palsy. We are always trying new things to carry him - Moby, Kelty Carrier, Baby Bjorn (he's small). This looks wonderful and if it works great for him, I have a HUGE community of special needs Mommys that would love to know about it. I also have a 9 month old that is the same size as my older son - and he is not feeling the stroller anymore and always wants to be held. This would be awesome for around the house...and around town! I could wear Brian when I'm pushing Gavin in his wheelchair!
    Here is the link to my online journal:
    http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/gavinleong
    I do hope you'll consider me - I think it will help my son - and my family - and my back! (LOL!) a lot!! And I can guarantee that I'll drum up a lot of business for you. Just ask Sue at Grandma's Babies. I sold a ton of play yards and special needs infant seats for her - and they weren't cheap! :-)
    Good luck finding your testers!!

  46. I would love to be a tester. DH and I both wear our daughter in mei tais. We've tried wraps and SSC's, but we both strongly prefer MTs. We've tried theh following: Mei Tai Baby, Freehand, Himmel, Bamberoo (old style), Bamberoo Delux, Bamberoo Wrap Conversion, NHT, BHT, Wraptation, Dingle Mej, Sachi, Kindercarry, Ocah. Of those, we still have 7 brands in our house. We've also tried a few SSCs--O&A, Beco 4th Gen, Ergo. We are both very experienced baby wearers, especially with MTs, and both of us could provide you with feedback.

    I don't have a blog, though I'm planning on starting one once we announce our pregnancy to everyone (I'm 5 weeks right now). I'm also active on TBW and Facebook, and DH is active on Facebook.

  47. My name is Heather Kelly and I am a Facebook member and a friend of Julie's. I would really love to be a tester, as I can't afford one of your carriers, but I could afford the shipping. I wear my baby everyday in a Maya Wrap, but I love your Glorybaby Carriers and would love to have one and to review it for you. I just yesterday signed up for the baby wearing website, so I can't post anything for another 29 days, oy! I also have two friends, one with a toddler and another with a 6 months old who said they would try it out, take some photos, and post their opionions too. I also just joined a mom's group here in my town and I would glady encourage others to try it out, take photos and write down your blog address for them to type up their opinions.

  48. I would love to be a tester! My DS, CDN and BW handle is lynnNC and my blog is http://ramblingsofajerseytransplant.blogspot.com// I don't own a stroller and I never carry around my infant car seat, so I pretty much rely on carriers. I have a mayawrap RS, a taylormade RS, a sasha ABC, beco butterfly 2 and a my blessed baby 1/2 buckle MT. I spend most of my time out and about, so they all get a lot of use (mostly at the beach for my walks with my dogs). I've noticed babywearing isn't too common of a thing around here, so it's still funny to me how many questions I get from people. Especially those in the stores that try to juggle shopping carts, strollers and kids lol.

  49. first off...LOVE the look of your MT!! Even if I don't get picked, I am def looking at them. I'm not greatly active online right now with TBW (mots) or DS (e_mom_e) but I'm always watching and reading...I am somewhat new to Bw but I already feel like a pro, it's just one of things that once you start you just "get it". This is not a huge BWing area so when people see me with my carriers they are always asking me all about them and how to get them (they always think they are so great), I have a playgroup and I am also active in our church...I really do want & NEED to start a store here, and plan to eventually but I'm just not ready for it yet. anyway, my babygirl LOVES being worn in anything, RS,Pouch,Ergo,MT and I love them all for different reasons, but I'm starting to want to use my MT more due to my back/hip issues, and since baby girl is not so itty bitty anymore, she's a chunkie monkey! LOL! Anyway, love your product and would LOVE to be a tester for you. All the best to you mama on your new venture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

  50. I've been an avid mei tai user for many years and am starting over with my newborn DD who is now 2 mos. I've tested a few other carriers so I understand what's needed from the vendor.
    I also teach baby wearing classes locally and I'm the "baby carrier lady" with my local La Leache League group.
    I'm MamaAnn at TBW and have been active there for 5 yrs.
    I love the look of your mei tai-I'd love to test it for you :)

  52. I'm new to baby wearing as my daughter was just born this summer. I have a Moby but find that cumbersome... and hot! I'd love to try at mei tai.
    I just registered with TBW a week or so ago.

    I don't have a blog, but my husband does. I'd love to be a tester and guest post on my husband's site.

  53. I would love to be a tester, I mainly use SSC and Wraps but want to try a MT. My kids are 1.5 and 3.5. The youngest gets worn the most. I am active on DS and TBW under Mayghan.

  54. I'd love to test and spread the word about your fab MTs. I'm MamaRachel on TBW and DS. I don't blog anymore, but I'm happy to do an in depth review on TBW and share with my very active local babywearing group (of which I'm a leader.) I've tried a wide variety (Kindercarry, Babyhawk, Bamberoo, Kozy, OMT, etc) of Mei Tais with my 2 year old son, as well as many SSCs. I've been a member of TBW for more than 2 years.

  55. I'm new to babywearing and mommyhood in general - my son is 3 months old! I had a natural homebirth and have been spreading the word about babywearing among my friends. mellirose on TBW, @mellierosey on twitter, mellie rose on FB, just started soulsoundfit.com - fitness for babywearers! :) I have tried 3 MTs so far and love them - Aria in hands-down my fave. I've gifted MTs and wraps and pouches to new mamas I know. I am very vocal and enthusiastic about my finds, so I'd love to cuddle my baby in yours and let everyone know! :)

  56. Wannabe tester here! I am the most vocal babywearing advocate in our area. I am part of a mama's social network where I regularly organize babywearing events. Because babywearing is not the norm here, I am often stopped and asked about the baby on my back and am always happy to share and spread the babywearing love. You can find me at TBW under "lilymarie" and read my blog at www.slingbabies.blogspot.com.

  57. I'm an experienced baby wearer who meets all of your criteria and would love a shot at being a tester!

    I've owned one of nearly every type of MT (and other) baby carrier and I get to do compare and contrast to a gaggle of interested mamas every time I get a new one. Several of my real life friends have bought Tettitett, Babyhawk, O&A, and other baby carriers simply because they were able to try mine out first. I am very active in a very large regional homeschool group and there are a LOT of interested babywearing mamas that I meet with on a weekly basis. I'm also active on DS (happyvegan) and on TBW (indignantgirl).

    On top of that, I have a new baby coming and I'd love to have something comfy to use during PG for my toddler and after the birth with the new baby as well. :)

  59. I'd love to be a tester. I'm on TBW as pink&bluemommy. I also have a blog, thewilsonslivinglife.blogspot.com. I'm getting back into mei tais with my 4 month old, 20 lb (at least) babe! Was just thinking tonight I need a mei tai with a hood (not just a headrest like my kozy!).

  60. Oh, and I wanted to add that I'm glad to see you moved up the pick date. If you pick me I'd love to take it on our trip across the country the beginning of October and give it a real workout for you and report back!

    I would love to be a tester. I'm on TBW a lot more than I post at the moment, but I'm active in my local Carry Me Close group, have 2 OMT, 2 Babyhawk, had a Freehand, got a trad'l Chinese MT not too long ago. Used to work in a store that sold carriers (not Bjorn!) in Toronto, Evymama (largest variety of carriers in Canada). I've taught people to use podaegis, mei tais by the score, and wraps. I use primarily mei tais, and will be able to assess and promote your product very effectively.

  63. I have used slings for years (ring slings) and with my baby now I have used a hotsling and right now I am using a moby-style wrap. I have never used a Mei-Tei, but I would be honored to be a tester for you.

    I have been blogging for a few years.

    I would love to review your Glory Baby carrier on my blog!

    I have a slew of friends with little babies and I would love to spread the word at Diaper Swappers(my id is Shellyluwho) , Public Library Story Hour, Pre-school, Church, etc.

    Plus, I am living in Wyoming right now, but I am returning to our home in Georgia in October, so I can take your Glory Baby Carrier on my cross country journey back home!

    This is my blog-

    Thanks for this amazing opportunity!

  64. handle on DS and TBW is togg_mama

    blog is www.beccastoggs.com

    I am more active on other boards that are behind passwords (hearthkeepers.com, raisinggodlytomatoes.com, titustwo.net)

    I am also active in the IRL babywearing thing.

    I am a one carrier type of mama... meaning I have one carrier per style/type. Right now I use a beco butterfly, but I've been thinking about doing the mei tai route.

    I'd love to proclaim. Your MT looks like it works well and I know a lot of IRL mamas I know would love it.

  65. I found out about your MT from Charity...and actually saw them IRL today at the Coastal Kids Market! Absolutely beautiful!

    I have 3 DD and used various carriers for all of them. DD#3 spends a lot of time in a carrier! Whether it be grocery shopping or going through security at the airport.

    I have a DS account but don't post much...I also wrote a little post about your MT on my blog (http://poolermama.blogspot.com/) which to be honest, I dont use very much.

    I am extremely active in my MOPS group (we have 60+ members) and am a member of Savannah AP (80 members). I am more of word-of-mouth type of gal...I have "converted" numerous friends to cloth diapering and as a result wrote an article for a local site (www.southernmamas.com) and recently taught a cloth diapering class at Just For Baby.

    You mentioned about doing something for groups? Please email me at lizstlawrence (at) gmail (dot) com and I will see what interest there is in the AP group here!

    Oh and DD#3 is 20 lbs and 9 months...she is very active but LOVES being in her carrier!

  66. Hi~ I'm a pregnant mommy (4 1/2 mo.) looking for a more "wearable" carrier! I would love to test your MT. Currently am wearing a Beco, RS and hotsling to carry my 1 & 3 yr. old, but want something more versatile while pregnant, and something I can wear both in when baby comes. I'd enjoy testing for you and sharing on FB (nichole willson), TBW (PNGmama) & xanga (sonoramom), and where I regularly wear my babes - elementry school, church, MOPS, walking, town, making dinner! Many people want to know how I'm going to have 2 babies under 2 years, going up 4 flights of stairs - I love sharing about carriers and have a wide circle of friends who are new to babywearing in general. Have fun choosing, Thank you!
