Our own educators got a chance to try out the Mo+m SSCs, and here’s what a few of them have to say:
I liked it so much I bought one! Perfect for hot weather because of the mesh and wonderful for comfy back carries. ~Lauren
I liked that the panel is smaller, so it will fit sooner without an insert than some other SSCs. ~Kelly
I like that it is a compact and straightforward design that can roll up nicely for out and about. ~Cecelia
This SSC fits me very well. I used it to cook dinner one night and it was every bit as comfortable as many other SSCs I’ve tried. This one is a bit less bulky, making it easy to toss it in the car or even in your bag to use on the go. I especially like the zip down panel which exposes a layer of mesh. ~Kalee
We loved it! It’s an awesome versatile carrier at an amazing price! It’s comfortable enough to carry a small toddler on a 4 mile hike. ~Andrea
Speaking of price, at the time of publishing this post all Mo+m SSCs, in both Classic and Designer colors, are on sale for $39.95 on their website – comparably a very low price point among available SSCs! We’re really enjoying having these in our library!
We want to thank Mothers on the Move for generously donating these two carriers to our library and supporting babywearing caregivers in St. Louis! These are now available to be tried on and borrowed from the Illinois and St. Charles meetings. Check the calendar for the schedule of meetings if you’d like to give this carrier a try!
