At a local baby wearing meeting...and man, it was scary!! Parker cried when I got her up in it, but I think she was freaking because I was really nervous! I had a really nice woman help me get into the position, and I think I have a good grasp of what I need to do...I just need to practice a bit..get my hubs to help..
She gave me a really good piece of advice though that I thought I'd share - rather than trying a variety of carries all at the same time, work on one carry, master it, and move on to the next one. Seems pretty logical, huh?

Re: I did a rucksack carry today!
Wed, July 25, 2007 - 8:34 AMgood job, simone! a babywearing meeting is a great place to try new things, too. you're surrounded by lots of knowlegable, experienced people who can give you immediate & hands-on support if you need it. yes, the back carry is definitely scary at first. it took me several tries over the bed to figure out how to put him on my hip, swing my arm over his head, grab his leg behind my back & hop him around into position. you'll get it soon! -

Wed, July 25, 2007 - 10:54 AMDamn, I'm gonna kick myself for not telling you! - It was at Kissui, in Redlands.
...they meet up there twice a month, once on the weekends, and again on the weekdays.
She has a Yahoo group that let's you know what Laura has going on at her store... I'll PM you the details.
