Belle Baby Carriers Voted Best Baby Carrier in Natural Child World’s 2012 Eco-Excellence Awards
June 12, 2012- (Boulder, CO) Belle Baby Carriers, the premier brand of stylish and eco-friendly baby carriers, has been voted Best Baby Carrier in the 2012 Eco-Excellence Awards presented by Natural Child World magazine. Belle’s ergonomic, “direct contact” design promotes parent-baby bonding and enhances baby’s development. Studies have shown that babies who are worn by their mothers and fathers become more attached, and as a result they cry less and learn more.
Belle’s current 2012 product line consists of the beautiful award-winning Organic Collection, featuring 100% certified organic cotton and organic hemp blended fabrics. The Classic Collection is made of all-natural cotton and polyester micro-suede. All of Belle’s carriers feature a super-soft, plush liner and come with a detachable head support panel, offering optimal comfort for both baby and parent.
“We cater to active, eco-minded parents who do not want to sacrifice their sense of style,” says Juli Pearce, owner of Belle Baby Carriers. “From the outdoor minded mom who hikes the mountaintrails, to the urban father who walks to the local coffee shop every day, our streamlined design and contemporary style make it a must-have for today’s active parents.” Indeed, some of Hollywood’s most fashionable moms - including Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, and Bethenny Frankel – are among Belle’s biggest fans.
Building on its strong foundation, Belle will be introducing a new carrier later this year. Belle’s award-winning carriers are sold in retail stores across the country and online. For more information or to shop Belle’s current product line, visit http:// www.bellebabycarriers.com.

Belle Baby Carriers was thrilled to donate baby carriers to the Manjushree Orphanage in Tawang. Tawang is located in the restricted region of Arunachal Pradesh in Northeastern India. It is home to 40,000 Monpa people who are Tibetan by birth. This is a protected enclave where Tibetan culture thrives and the language perseveres. There are about 200 children that now live at the orphanage. Thank you to my friend, Stephanie, and all the others that were on this medical mission and delivered the Belle Baby Carriers.

Celebrities are stepping out in various baby carriers these days. We are thrilled that it has become so chic to wear your baby. There are so many benefits to babywearing. Selma Blair is the most recent celebrity to use a Belle Baby Carrier with her little one, Arthur! Selma has many photos on her blog, http://selmablairstyle.com, and here is one of my personal favorites: 
During my first solo trip to visit family with my three month old baby in tow, I spent days planning for our time in the airport and on the plane. Stroller? Check. Extra clothes? Check. A week’s worth of diapers in case of extensive delays? Double check. We went off to the airport fully prepared — until we hit security. According to TSA guidelines “all child-related equipment that will fit through the X-ray machine must go through the X-ray machine.” I knew that heading to the airport, but didn’t think twice about it because I thought my stroller was easy to open and close. That was until I tried to balance my baby in one arm and close the stroller and lift it onto the conveyor belt with one hand. I learned that passengers in line are quick to complain, but not quick to help. Our first stop past the ticket counter and I was already wishing we hadn’t booked this trip.
A Belle Baby Carrier would have solved my problems. Not only could I have skipped the stroller altogether and sailed through security without the dirty looks, but I could have navigated the complex airport hallways with ease, winding in and out of passengers and taking the escalator and stairs instead of seeking out elevators. I wouldn’t have had to set my screaming infant on the narrow seat of the plane while trying to shove my carry-on into the overhead bin or drop ice all over my lap as I tried to enjoy my complimentary beverage and those delicious cinnamon cookies while balancing a wiggling infant.
A Belle Baby Carrier would have kept my infant calm and close to me during random turbulence instead of incurring the icy stares and groans of passengers around me as the sudden movements and altitude changes scared him out of his sleep. Feeding could have been done more modestly and safely, instead of unintentionally flashing and jabbing my seatmates as I got the baby into position.
Traveling with an infant is a stressful experience. Decrease the stress by giving yourself hands to carry luggage and enjoy other activities while your baby stays calm and comfortable in a Belle Baby Carrier. While they will not solve all of the problems or stress, baby carriers have the potential to make traveling with an infant feel like a breeze.
