Freebies from the Crib: Tender Cargo


With three children, cchrissyy has had her share of infant shoes that wear out too fast, carriers and slings that hurt her back or were outgrown too fast to be worth what she paid. She also has a passionate dislike for noisy plastic toys covered with media characters (amen sister!). Put all those things together, and you get a site filled with quality products (and many natural products) that will last for baby #2 and #3.

I especially like the way she shares her knowledge of the products with her customers like her sling FAQs page, or the description of the leather shoes she carries here. BTW, these little shoes just make my heart melt. And she has a great selection of wooden toys and puzzles. I know my girls would love this little "paperdoll" puzzle and it's priced right at less than $5.
Another product I love is the Belly Hugger.


Okay, now I guess I will get to the fantastic freebie from cchrissyy at Tender Cargo. She has to graciously put up for grabs a fabulous Zolowear Baby Pouch in your choice of print. I don't know how you will choose! The Jetson dot is so cute, the Metro black is perfectly unisex and the Sable hemp is so awesomely sustainable. If you are asking yourself "How will I use a baby pouch?", don't worry! The pouch also comes with an inspirational and instructional DVD (and you can also go read her aforementioned pouch and sling FAQ's page). I love these types of carriers because you can use them longer (and more comfortably) than a traditional frontpack.
And remember, if you personally don't have a need for this freebie, please pass the info along to someone who does! Or, go ahead and put your name into the hat and save the pouch for an amazing baby shower gift!

I second Em's request for a post on how Cchrissy put her husband through school! Maybe two: one detailing how she did it for people who wish to follow in her foot steps and another one talking about her experiences and such.

Put my name in the hat for that baby-pouch! I'll use it to start a different kind of hope chest.

What a great giveaway. I think one of my friends who just had a baby uses that hemp one (or something similar).

I've heard some great things about those Belly Bands. I know that I'd love to be able to breastfeed without worrying about ... "showing my religion."

I would love to put my baby in a pouch like this! Do you think that dad's would like the pouch as much as a mom?

I bought a different sling thing not knowing about these Zolo pouches. Man how I wish I had known better! Now I can't justify buying a different sling.

So I couldn't quite work out what the freebie was from the post but from the comments its a burp cloth? After the last few hours with my two I am sending Eric for a vasectomy tomorrow so I won't be needing any but.... I know plenty of braver women than myself that are up for the challenge so I'm in!!

I need to order some more of the wiggly snakes to give as gifts... The one we got has been a hit and my kids are supposed too old for little kid's toys! There's something about that wiggly snake -- if you have it in your hands, you just have to play. ;-)

I just got done browsing the Tender Cargo website, and it was awesome! I especially liked the darling penny-loafer shoes, although eveything looks great. The sling giveaway is a great idea. All of them are not only useful, but cute!
