Where to buy baby carriers / slings / wraps in Buenos Aires

For all my fellow baby wearing mamas out there, I've got the perfect place for you to buy your carriers in Buenos Aires, particularly wraps and asian style carriers. Check out Alejandra Martinez's website Maminia or contact her directly about buying carriers. She also carries nursing wear.

Another great website a bit further out (Ecuador) is Familialibre. It's in both English and Spanish and has great articles as carriers and other great baby/mama items.

Familialibre.com en Espanol...En esta página encontrará artículos y enlaces sobre Crianza con Respeto, instrucciones para el uso porta bebés y su confección, y más recursos alternativos para padres.

También ofrecemos una tienda virtual con productos compatibles con la crianza en brazos, la lactancia materna y la crianza con respeto.

Check out both sites if you're a baby wearer.

Today Show Where in the World is Matt Lauer - in Buenos Aires, Argentina !

Buenos Aires, Argentina continues to be one of the top ranked tourist destinations where the dollar still buys a lot. Today Show host Matt Lauer as part of his "Where in the World is Matt Lauer", visited Buenos Aires, Argentina and did a series of segments about the city and mentions other areas of the country as well.

While it might not be the absolute bargain it was just a couple of years ago, particularly with the rising cost of flights, it is still much more friendly to the dollar than Europe. Here is the link to the MSNBC webpage .
