Attached to Baby

We're looking for your absolute favorite babywearing photo here!

$500 Grand Prize ATB shopping spree to the winner!

This one is absolutely the best! 

1 vote for #2! 

I sure hope this contest isn't just based on votes, then she with the most e-mail addresses wins.  All nice pictures, however with some of the ones posted here are we truly saying that silk keeps him closest is the best?

I actually think that one was submitted by a very large group of babywearers, could be wrong, I went through hundreds!

But I will weed out those votes with the same IP address before the contest ends. :)

My husband and I voted from the same computer, does this mean that one of our votes will be weeded out?

No, I take that into consideration, we have 3 people here who voted on the same computer. :)

But I have seen 20-30 comments from the same computer, all pretty much saying the same thing, when we allowed anonymous comments for the photos. That is when I'll cut it down a bit.

That was myself, Angela, responding from my Office Manager's computer - Jill, sorry if that caused confusion! :)

They are all lovely.   I'm partial to silk though, as mama looks just radiant.   Babe looks sooo happy and are interacting w/ the camera.   My babywearing hubby and I use the same computer and I hope our votes aren't struck... I promise we didn't vote bomb!

 

ALL of these pics are simply divine.  WHat eye candy!

As you know we had this poll on both TBW and ATB sites. For fairness, I am giving TBW votes receive 5 points per vote, ATB members that joined before this month of December 2007 10 points per vote, and so on (5,3,1), so that voters who joined just to vote get 1 point. So votes either get 1-10 points per vote.

Here are the results, winner to be announced soon! Yes, it looks like a tie-breaker, but I know the one who got a few more votes, and will be contacting them soon!

BEST BABYWEARING
1-Beco in Tulips Field 11%
2-Sakura Bloom at Ocean 17%
3-Didy Aqua Waves and Hat 8%
4-Silk Keeps them Closest 17%
5-EllaRoo LaRae and friend 6%
6-FreeHand Brocade Mei Tai 9%
7-Swinging with Wrap 14%
8-Indio Ultramarine Didymos 4%
9-Easycare #10 4%

 

Will the results be posted here or on the front page of the site? I'm on the edge of my seat!  

Angela,  I'm concerned that although some of us recently joined, and voted, that it may appear that a some joined just to vote.   Speaking only for myself, nothing could be further from the truth.  

 I don't have tons of time to cyber-socialize... much as I would love to!  Many of my babywearing friends aree local, although I've been babywearing 5 children for almost 17 years, only recently even knew there was much of anything anything beyond the NoJo/Over-theShoulder Baby Holder. 

 Silly, eh?  Anyhow, I'm delighted to have found this wonderful site.   The contest was a lot of fun.   I don't know how to pick out my next baby carrier and these happy mom's faces offer me lots of food for thought.

 Warmly,

Anne

I hope everyone who recently joined feels as good about ATB as Anne does.   I worry that some will feel unwanted and unwelcome because their votes were discounted.

Every big contest I do there are people that do unethical things to try to win, but it doesn't deter me from trying to share the love again!

I had to do something, honestly, there were the same IP addresses with almost the same email names. Everyone's vote counted, even those with duplicate IP addresses, but I did want to reward those that have been with us for 3 years. :)
