I carried the girl in a sling for ages (western take on the african style) gave two hands free and all that close contact thing, I also hate push chairs. However; I did my already rubbish back in = we got a push chair for the boy. luckily they both walked early and then when they got going properly the pushchair was outta there.
Re pink; she will probably/possibly, if left to her own way, go through a pink phase then out the other side. My girl is a black belt in jujitsu, but also wanted pink everything for a time.
Oh and b*gger the reproof of strangers, I think it's an adorable tale(if awkward for you at the time!) and a lovely tale to tell her when she is big.
Pink will be fine when it's her choice, and I do put her in pink fairly often anyway, but that pushchair was foul. Today she has pink socks with black skull and cross bone symbols on - that's kinda girly.
The sling is great and we use it almost all the time (thanks to J'Amy for the loan) but I have no memory some days and it ends up staying at home while I'm out. :-(
Sounds genious to me. I have a HippyChick Hip Seat which I got from Boots online. It looks like a bum belt but has a solid sticky out bit for the kids to sit on. It works for all ages. I use it with Kira as well as Jen. It just clips round your waist, you sit them on and hold them with one arm. Great for dropping Kira off at nursery (as she is up stairs now too) and for just popping into the bank or Tescos or where ever. Beats having to get out the buggy or naff around with loads of straps. If we are out and about with just the single buggy, we take the hip seat along too as I can pick up Kira and hold her with one hand and push the buggy with the other when she gets to tired/silly to walk.
The down side is though... remembering to take it with you and we are back to square one!

I'm sure she looked really cute in the bag though. :o)
