What is a babywearing lending library? Who does it benefit? And why use one? A babywearing lending library is a "library" of carriers that can be borrowed for a number of reasons-- including learning and practicing the use of new carriers, deciding if a carrier is right for you before buying one for yourself, and borrowing a certain carrier for a specific occasion! The lending library benefits parents and caregivers, as it can help you to find a carrier that will work for you and your little one without having to pay the big upfront costs of having to buy several carriers before finding one you love. The lending library also benefits from use! The cost of every rental goes right back into the program-- allowing me to buy more carriers for folks to try, and create more demo dolls on which folks can learn, and become confident, in safe babywearing. And in many ways, lending libraries even support the baby carrier companies we support and often come to love-- as many parents and caregivers are exposed to carriers and brands they may never have heard of or tried otherwise! It is truly a win, win, win for all parties involved!
