Just finished making my son his new baby carrier. I received a baby carrier from a friend when we had our son I liked that the original carrier had options for front, side, and rear carry while the kid faced either towards or away from you. The original carrier was hot and bulky made out of cotton had thick poly insulation(1lb 11oz) and had no way of carrying anything. The new carrier I made has a 210 Dyneema Ripstop outer, 3d spacer mesh inner, and 1/8″ closed cell foam on the hip belt and shoulder straps, and a spadex front pocket with velcro closure and comes in at 15 oz. I still need to figure out somewhere to place daisy chainned webbing so I can add a water bottle holder. Took it out for about 2.5 hr walk around Seattle today. My son seemed to enjoy it, slept 3/4 of the time. Included in the pic is what i carry in the pocket.
