- A couple of lawyers taking on a less logical profession: parenting. Inspired by our daughter, Violet, to be more mindful of how we live - and especially how we parent - we continue to find ourselves in the “crunchy” camp. Break out the granola, baby.

Hey Jenn!
You've mentioned your Connecta carrier more than once and I know you like it. Just curious if it works well for Violet's dad to back carry?? It seems like I never see men doing back carries on any of the websites for the buckle carriers like Connecta, Beco, Ergo etc. - they're always in the front :)
I'm wanting a buckle carrier and like that Connecta offers one in a solarweave fabric.
thanks!
