International Babywearing Week is October 5 – 11. NYC Dads Group had such a blast participating in this important baby bonding event the past few years – strolling through the Central Park Zoo, walking over the Brooklyn Bridge, and observing priceless art at the MET Museum – that we’re planning something BIGGER to “Share the Adventure” and raise awareness this year. NYC Dads Group will be celebrating International Babywearing Week on Thursday, October 9 at 11am with fifteen dads in our NYC Dudes Group traversing the unique, picturesque, and elevated High Line Park rocking our babies in our Britax Baby Carriers. Additionally, we’ve orchestrated a major, national multi-City Dads Group effort. Over 100 City Dads Group members in thirteen metropolitan cities across the country will be gathering, meeting-up, and taking leisurely walks together at iconic and well-known locations. Check out the diverse range of City Dads Group meetups planned across America:
- SF Dads Group: Taking a walking tour of the new Levis Football Stadium
- Columbus Dads Group: Walking around the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium
- Atlanta Dads Group: Taking a walking tour at World of Coca Cola

Want to join us? The ultimate goal of our babywearing events are getting dads together for an invigorating meet-up that involves a fall babywearing walk with some other cool, active, and nurturing dads. Regardless of what baby carrier you may own, we hope more of you will grab your baby and carrier, and plan to join us for this wonderful event on Thursday, October 9. Details here.
A special thanks to our sponsor, Britax, for supporting active fathers and supplying us with amazing gear for the events.
International Babywearing Week (Oct 5 – 11, 2014) is a focused opportunity to celebrate, promote, and advocate the many benefits of Babywearing. Infants thrive on touch so wearing your baby is an important way to meet this need. There are so many other advantages and benefits like bonding with your baby, less crying (carried babies cry less), building confident parents, comfort, and convenience so you have both hands free. Babywearing International Inc. is proud to lead babywearers around the globe who will be gathering during the week to educate about, practice, and celebrate the varied options available today for safe babywearing. We’re excited about the opportunity to celebrate such an important facet of caregiving! Hopefully, you will cheer us on or join our parade on Thursday, October 9 on The High Line. See you there!
