My baby’s best friend is the carrier. Even in the midst of an unbreathable cry, when I pop out that carrier (like magic), she will stop and start to giggle. Being a momma on the constant go, I am always looking to see the different options out there when it comes to babywearing. So this time I wanted to look for something that would fit the lifestyle of a busy momma. The perfect match, Cybex 2.GO Baby Carrier. Perfectly fit for the metro mommas on the go that want a sleek stylish look and the functionality that meets any busy schedule.

I was fortunate to have tested the Cybex Callisto which happened to be a stellar on-the-go stroller. Their matching baby carrier is nothing short of those standards. Having been spoiled by the Callisto, I had extremely high expectations for the baby carrier. Once I opened up the box and got a glimpse of it, I knew I was liking what I was seeing. Note: I believe what companies need to do to stand out during this economy is to pay attention to fine detail. First, if the design is something in between, I call it blah (neither pretty nor ugly, just average), even if you told me it had ten million options, I wouldn’t give it a second glance. I find it sad when I see great products out there, but the design is just a little, let’s say “Little House on the Prairie.”
Living in a happening city filled with glitz and glamour, my eyes do gravitate towards the finer things in life. Obviously, I am not going to buy everything I see (quite the contrary). My point is if item A and item B were almost identical in fuctionality, safety, durability, and price, but item A had a nice stylish design, I would go with A. In this case, the Cybex 2.GO is product A, and it has more versatility to it’s competitor’s only two positions (2.GO has 5 carrying positions).
The 2.GO is literally a snap-and-go carrier. My baby goes in and out without any problems, and the straps don’t dig into my shoulders or my hips. When I wear the carrier, I literally feel like I could go on a jog with it, but I don’t think that would be a smart idea. Since my daughter is over 6 months now, I put her in the forward facing position when she is awake, and she definitely loves to look out into the world. More importantly, she is securely in place (adjustable width and length, plus a nice headrest) and she looks very comfortable (the ergonomic cut molds to the baby’s naturally rounded back). Not all carriers are made equal, as different carriers serve different purposes. The 2.GO like its namesake is one of those ‘right out the door’ type of carrier. It keeps you and your baby moving with ease and grace (hassle-free)!
