Reply To: Why don't heimeishe ladies use baby slings to schlep babies?

Hey, I’m a frum lady and I used to carry my babies in a backpack over 25 years ago. In certain situations a backpack or a sling is the preferable choice over a stroller, like when hiking in Eretz Yisroel, or if you have a baby and a toddler and don’t have a double stroller. I used to put my baby in the backpack and my toddler in the stroller when I traveled by train or bus. It was easier than a klutzy double stroller. As for being “crunchy” I guess I meet some of the requirements (natural birth,nursed for more than a year, health food etc.)But, actually, I look as conventional as everyone else.
