One of my proudest moments as a new mom was the night I made dinner while my newborn daughter was strapped to me in her Baby Bjorn. My dog was also very grateful for it too; he probably would have gotten a lot fewer walks those first few months if I hadn't had a Bjorn. I have the Original Bjorn ($42, originally $80), but the Miracle style ($100, originally $150) might be worth the upgrade.
