Backpack Child Carriers

I'm researching backpack child carriers and wondered what brand everyone out there likes the best. I need one that is sturdy enough to carry a child weighing 25 to 40 pounds. Usually backpacks are made for men's frames and wondered if any moms found backpack child carriers that fit a woman's frame. I already have my eye on some so I'm not looking for you to sell me one, just advice on brands that you like.

Preparing for First Grade

Hi Moms, My son will be starting first grade in September and I'm trying to prepare for it. We home schooled for Grade K because we didn't have public K in our town last year - we live in NH. So this is all new to us. What will my son need to go to school - a backpack, lunch box, pencils, rulers, pens, notebooks? I don't know where to begin. Do 6 year olds need a backpack? What's a good one - something from LL Bean? What kind of lunch boxes work best? Do I supply him with pencils and erasers? Do first graders use pens? What about markers...

Need a Running Stroller (BOB, Kelty or Baby Jogger?)

Hi, My daughter turns 6 mo this weekend and I would like to start running with her. I'm looking to get a good running stroller. However, most of the reviews of the "jogging" strollers that I've read have been from non-runners or joggers.

Is there one that you've seen a running partner use that you'd rather have? I've been looking at the BOB Ironman, the 2006 BOB Sport Utility, the...

Traveling with a One Year Old by Myself, Help!

So I am going to be traveling from Colorado to Michigan (about a 3 hr flight) with my one year old for the first time and I have no idea what to bring!

I have a stroller that I can use while I am in michigan so I'm not sure if I should bother dragging mine through the airport. I...
