Dads,

This is another meet-up opportunity that you're going to want to participate in! International Babywearing Week (IBW) (Oct 6 - 12) is a focused opportunity to celebrate, promote, and advocate the many benefits of Babywearing. To celebrate IBW, BRITAX has offered to sponsor another one of our Meet-ups by offering baby carriers to dads with little ones between 8-32 pounds (ages 0-24 months).

Our meetup will be during the "official IBW Week", and will meet up at Sister Cities Park with our babies in baby carriers to walk to The Rocky Steps as a “pack.” Don’t be surprised if you turn some heads or cause some foot-traffic jams, because that’s how we roll. Britax has agreed to provide 6 dads with a FREE** (expectations mentioned below) BRITAX BABY CARRIER (approximate $130 Retail value).

If you're up for an invigorating meet-up that involves a fall babywearing walk with some other cool, active, and nurturing dads, please join us! Additionally, you'll be a part of our national multi-city, event with 100 City Dads Group members gathering, walking, or hiking in Atlanta, Boston, NYC, LA, Vegas, Denver, Indy, ABQ, Columbus, Chicago, and San Francisco.

The goal of this meet-up: To wear your baby in the Britax Baby Carrier in honor of IBW during the walk and show that dads enjoy wearing our babies too.
