*CLOSED* Action Baby Carrier Review and Giveaway!

*Shannon S was the random winner!  She has been notified via email!*





The Action Baby Carrier is manufactured by Optave Inc., a Michigan corporation. Optave Inc was founded in 2006 by Angela and Scott Alexander. The goal Action Baby Carriers and our parent company is to offer quality baby carrier products that are comfortable and stylish at a great price for all families!

Our company is dedicated to selling American made baby carrier products that are stylish and affordable so that every parent can carry their baby in style and comfort.

We love the environment! Our factory is located in rural Northern Michigan on 10 beautifully wooded acres. We encourage our employees to take walks, breathe the fresh air, enjoy the wildlife and beauty that surrounds us.




I am SO excited to share my Action Baby Carrier review with you! When I found out we were expecting baby #2, I knew we would need a carrier that is easy for my husband to use. I never thought I'd be a soft structured carrier kind of girl, but I am in LOVE with our new Action Baby Carrier! Something I was looking for in a carrier was adjustability. I wanted it to easily adjust from my tall, skinny husband to tall, not so skinny me. It is SO simple to adjust and only takes about 20 seconds to get it nice and snug! The hip belt goes from 28" to 53" !!


A close up of the fun print I chose - Camper.


I love how small it folds up. So easy to throw in the diaper bag when I'm in a hurry!


The first time I put it on, I knew it was going to be great for our family! It is very simple to use, and it is so comfortable. I've gone for several long walks, pregnant, with my 25 pound toddler on my back. She loves it, I love it. My husband is also a huge fan, which I am so excited about. He doesn't like the hassle of a wrap and isn't eager to learn how to use a sling, but THIS he can use! He said it was very comfortable and he liked what it did for his posture. The fit is excellent, and both parent and baby feel safe and secure. Honestly, it's so comfortable I don't even feel like there's a 25 pound person strapped to my back!


So happy on mama's back!


The carrier comes with clear, simple instructions on how to do both back carries and front carries. It comes in 7 prints, and 7 colors. It has a simple to use sleeping hood, which my daughter wanted no part in tonight when we took pictures. However, when she's sleeping on my back, it's VERY nice to be able to strap that down to hold her head in place and keep the light out! The Action Baby Carrier is designed for babies that are 8-40 pounds. This one carrier will get you through toddlerhood and beyond for some kids!


She is SO happy to be snuggled up to her daddy.


Awww! I <3 them!

I was blown away to see the interior of the Action Baby Carrier! Check it out HERE! I love knowing what the "guts" of our carrier are! No wonder it's so supportive!

Action Baby Carriers were designed in 2006. It is the lightest weight carrier on the market. One of my favorite things about Action Baby Carriers is that they are all made in the USA! This is important to me - to support our own economy.


Perfect smooching position! I think she prefers being on my back because I can't bug her with a million kisses.


So comfortable and secure.

The print and solid Action Baby Carriers are $98, and the Organic Action Baby Carriers are $109.

You can use the promo code : 10offdibs to recieve $10 off of your Action Baby Carrier! FREE worldwide shipping! The code is good until October 28th.

  7. Thank you for sharing this with us. In regards to your 'not so skinny' comment. I can honestly say it is nice to see a product like this being reviewed by a regular sized mom -- not to say thinner moms are irregular. =)

    Having been pregnant many, many times I know my body isn't in the shape I'd like, but I have to remind myself that I received some pretty good gifts from those added pounds. Hopefully one day I will find time to get some additional exercise and get those pounds off, but for now I will just buy some clothes that fit. :)

  8. These look like wonderful carriers and I've heard nothing but good things. I don't enter a lot of give aways, but I am trying to build up a lending library for my babywearing group and would love to have this available for the local mamas, most of which have only ever used a snugli!!
