Violet Affleck has a new role along with big sister, here he plays mommy. With a new baby in the house, Violet is surely inspired by this new addition of Seraphina – the second daughter of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck . Here Violet carries her own ward, a fuzzy plush animal, in her own baby sling by New Native. This child doll carrier is a mini version of the ultra popular simple sling. You can pick one up in a variety of colors (Violet opted for the violet huh, natch) here for $US16.

Before I even mention the safety of the Roundhouse Baby Carrier, I'm going to sing the praises of the design. This is a great looking baby carrier and I'm crazy about all the color and fabric options. The Roundhouse Baby Carrier is strong, easy to clean and very safe. Comfy for mom and baby, the carrier's ergonomic design reduces neck and back strain.

The carrier can be worn in six different positions and it comes with directions and photos so you can decide which position is right for you and your baby. There is even a video demonstration on their website. For newborns to 16 kgs. 

Roundhouse Design Collaborative is a collection of professional designers who design products that make life easier for parents. Judging from the way
this carrier looks, they succeed in making it a lot more stylish, too.
Roundhouse calls it their “quest for modern family style”.  I think they have succeeded.

Nicole Kidman was out and about taking her aptly named baby Sunday out for a, well, Sunday stroll. And she joined other celebrities like Ethan Hawke, who have been seen out and about with the stunning Serena and Lilly cotton Market sling. This baby carrier is so pretty it almost makes me want to have another kid just so I can use one. Here Nicole Kidman carries her baby in the Flax hue with Sky Blue interior. The cotton is 100% organic cotton and has been hand embroidered. The sling is created with one piece of seemless piece of fabric and doesn’t have buckles, belts or straps to irritate your precious cargo. US$129 here.

Our neighborhood play stroller of choice is the Maclaren ($29.99) and while I haven't seen any kids carting their dolls around in a play sling just yet, it can't be far behind.
