New and exciting UK based company JellyBean are helping to bring parenting into the 21st century by sourcing an incredibly funky range of 'can't live without' baby accessories from around the world.

They've recently introduced the elegant and easily adjustable Belle Baby Carrier that not only looks amazing but transfers baby's weight directly to your hips and not to your back! It's suitable from 10lb - 25lb, available in three colours (black, cappacino and cheeta) and for maximum flexibility enables you to sit your baby either facing towards or away from you.

Designed by two outdoor enthusiast Dads from the US, the Belle carrier encourages your baby to nestle against you in a stable and natural hip position so it's really comfortable for you both when you're on the go.

PS. Julia Roberts was papped using one last summer with her youngest child!!

JellyBean also supply the adorable yet fuss free Peanut Shell baby sling. It's quick and easy to use which is definitely a bonus for busy parents!

The Peanut Shell is available in a selection of gorgeous fabrics, is 100% cotton and it's so compact it will fit easily into a changing bag. This handy sling can also be used as a great changing mat, stroller cover or even a baby blanket. What's more, to make life even easier there's a little pocket for carrying essentials such as keys or a mobile phone.

The Peanut Shell slings are hugely flexible and help you to carry your baby in a range of different positions such as: cradle (for newborn breastfeeding), tummy-to-tummy, kangaroo (upright facing out) and hip carry.

For more information and to check out the full range of products availble from JellyBean visit www.jellybeangroup.co.uk.

They have a Sale on at the moment and you'll be pleased to know that there are some great bargains to be had!

much better than the conventional carriers as the baby is closer to you and can feel and hear your heartbeat!

What a lovely baby carrier I would love one of these, great for nipping down the shops!
added by humanoid [Mon 8th Sep 2008 @ 11:52:18]
I'm trying to get pg again and have a 2 year old and would much rather this and a small buggy rather than a giant double one
added by loulougirly [Mon 8th Sep 2008 @ 11:51:18]
this looks great and a good way to stay close to your baby.x
added by jojo4 [Mon 8th Sep 2008 @ 11:47:57]
Its well worth having one. You can leave the buggy in the car (saves time unloading and relaoding) and walz round the supermarket with their trolley or go on country walks across rough ground with ease.
added by Sanman [Mon 8th Sep 2008 @ 11:47:09]
They look lovely, safe and warm
added by justine11 [Mon 8th Sep 2008 @ 11:43:40]
That looks fantastic - really snug and safe!
added by Barking [Mon 8th Sep 2008 @ 11:32:24]
I'm pregnant from 3 mois now, and have got 3 friends pregnant aswell... I think this carriers is just AMAZING !!!! Exactly what every parents need to carry baby closer from the heart, and give lot of love every single day... JellyBean baby carriers look aswell very cosy and design, perfect anywhere you go... I will definetly have one, and show to my friends who wonderfull it is !!!
added by sabiab [Mon 8th Sep 2008 @ 11:31:39]
with twins this would be great I could carry one and use the single pushchair instead of having to use the huge double, great prize
added by barbmerv [Mon 8th Sep 2008 @ 11:31:00]
Fantastic prize!
added by moodymiss [Mon 8th Sep 2008 @ 11:27:09]
They look easy to use and not bulky at all
added by muffy0 [Mon 8th Sep 2008 @ 11:26:26]
This looks like a fantastic product especially for me as my new daughter loves to be held close to me and complains when I put her down.
added by neonjo [Mon 8th Sep 2008 @ 11:23:44]
this is the most perfect way to carry baby and be kind to your back. They good so great too!
added by nips [Mon 8th Sep 2008 @ 11:17:47]
I wanted to know the difference between a carrier and a blanket tied as they seem to be better for bonding, this is my first child and i want to know everything, what is the best bonding method apart from feeding? skin to skin or is it just the warmth and smell of the mother, maybe the heart beat im not too certain, but im sure i will be trying them all. The baby carriers are something to use everyday when out as i am leaving my car behind to go on foot a carrier would be in plenty use.
added by Catatonia [Mon 8th Sep 2008 @ 10:37:13]
This looks really comfortable and cosy!! I would love one!!
added by XXSabXX [Thu 4th Sep 2008 @ 09:55:30]
it looks really comfortable, a great idea!!!
added by juletxa [Thu 4th Sep 2008 @ 09:41:36]
My baby is due in March and I have two other children under 4! My two year old still uses the pushchair most of the time and I think one of these would definitly be of use while out and about.
added by biggzy79 [Thu 4th Sep 2008 @ 09:38:28]
Im very close with my baby now and im only 13 weeks pregnant. i want to feel my baby more close when my baby will due. This idea is simply fantastic. Everybody knows that baby is feeling more comfy and secure when its close to your loving heart. I just cant beleive how you making our lives more simple and more fun. JellyBean baby carrier would be perfect for my newborn baby because i want to feel it as close as its possible all the time! You can just walk with baby,talk to him, sing or just watch him smiling. I love it. I think that everybody will do.
added by fenix1 [Thu 4th Sep 2008 @ 09:29:16]
This is my first child and I love the thought of these items, i love the thought of the baby being close to my chest and my future child should also feel save knowing that it is closer to me. I am sure that if i had one of these products it would be getting more cuddles than is actually possible!! x
added by laurabartram [Thu 4th Sep 2008 @ 09:27:49]
I've been looking at baby carriers for a while wondering which one to get. The Belle baby carrier looks great in all three colours and sounds very practical and confortable. Would love one. The peanut shell one looks cute too and definately worth a try too!
added by nebu [Thu 28th Aug 2008 @ 09:37:49]
These are such fab products, keeping your precious one close to you encourages bonding too. Even if I dont win one its a definate on my list to purchase.
added by samward0611 [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 11:23:30]
This is brilliant baby can hear your heartbeat what is very calming for them! and very easy for you to get on with every day life!
added by xxemmajanexx [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 11:22:55]
They say that hearing their mummy's heartbeat soothes a baby, so this is a fantastic way to make them feel safe, close to you. Fingers crossed,and good luck to you all x
added by srileys87 [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 11:19:39]
think these are a fantastic idea definetly help with the bonding.
added by starr1979 [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 11:17:53]
I love this carrier.What else can be good to assist you in carrying you baby close to your heart all time.
It is simply wonderful.
Baby feels much secure with parents touch in early months of their new life beginning.
added by jaymini [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 11:16:22]
This looks great just what me and my husband need
added by wheatley [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 11:16:02]
I think having a baby carrier that the dad can wear really helps the dad bond with the new baby and stops him feeling left out. Now they look cool too thanks to Jelly Bean!!
added by WendyDavis [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 11:13:12]
This looks so similar to still being pregnant....this way you keep your bump but its so much more comfy!!!
added by sarahjojo [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 11:06:54]
Great prize and looks nice and safe for the little one
added by steviey [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 11:05:25]
Looks really comfy for the baby. I had a baby carriers before but it hurt my back - I would be keen to try this one as the weight goes to the hips rather than the back.
added by Ranger [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 10:52:31]
They are so cute, it'd certainly make my other half's life easier when he's carrying the baby. After all, I'll have done it for nine months!
added by eripmav [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 10:46:01]
This is so cute, I would really love one!!
added by bondgirl38 [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 10:41:30]
Good idea, makes the baby feel safe as if still in the womb.. and also good for our backs..
added by lorrsi [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 10:36:46]
This is such a nice product. Both Daddy and I can enjoy this one!!
added by triki [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 10:32:17]
These look great and comft for mother and child!
added by kat311 [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 10:27:04]
As i will only have 20 mnths between my babies, i think it would be great to carry the newborn in this carrier and still be able to push my little boy in his pushchair!
added by Tazk [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 10:22:28]
We have been talking about getting one of these and this looks great!
added by Annaef [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 10:19:00]
I def would love one of these and will buy one if i didnt win. This is my first baby and my mum informed me that i loved being close to her as a baby and she was always carrying me around and wishes she had, had a sling at the time, would of saved her back alot of wear and tear! ha ha Have a feeling our baby will be the same as me and my partner love being close and love a cuddle.x
added by Danwelling [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 10:18:40]
Due to the problems I have with my back and stress on shoulders the fact that the Jelly bean distributes the weight of the baby towards the hips would enable me to carry my bundle with little or no discomfort. Yipee
added by DENISEKENTON [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 10:17:58]
This product does look really good it's difficult to choose which colour to get it in ""
added by alsbluey [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 10:15:45]
I still use my double pushchair for my toddlers so with a newborn due any day soon a carrier would be very practical, especially for breast feeding and cuddles.
added by milkshake [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 10:15:22]
this would be great so i could still walk my dog
added by budgieseed [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 10:08:53]
I have been told these carriers are excellent i'd love to win one to find out
added by SmileyKyles [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 10:07:41]
They are just to cute for words. When I had my first the baby carriers were just so basic and boring
added by madmae [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 10:03:26]
it looks good - just hope it's easy to put on.
added by clairewoods [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 10:01:37]
This looks comfortable and easy to handle. There is nothing worse than getting tangled up in a mess of straps while your baby looks at you with cautious eyes as if wondering how they will end up in our tangle.. ha ha!!
added by grobs [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 10:00:14]
Is it not bad for your back to carry the baby weight at the front especially with the extra heavy boobs you have after birth.
added by hippo12 [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 09:59:38]
Looks a lot more comfatable than the one that i had with my 1st child.
added by lynnescomp [Wed 27th Aug 2008 @ 09:58:23]
I have read that you can develop a closer bond earlier on with your baby as you tend to talk to them more than you would pushing a pushchair. Also it would be great for Daddy to feel like he is having 'his' time with the baby since its been growing inside me for 9 months! What a fabulous idea, my fingers are crossed!
added by hayleyglen [Tue 26th Aug 2008 @ 10:41:08]
Sounds fantastic - I love the idea of having both my hands free yet having the baby so close.
added by LAAG [Tue 26th Aug 2008 @ 10:40:32]
Gorgeous carrier - can't wait to put my little baby monkey in one. It's Daddy is going to love it too!
added by Murgz [Tue 26th Aug 2008 @ 10:37:59]
I think I've found something that he'll use as much as me..............................
added by Jancyby [Tue 26th Aug 2008 @ 10:37:05]
they look great just what i need!!
added by Lucyhickling [Tue 26th Aug 2008 @ 10:34:04]
Arrrr they look so sweet....What a fab name too

I love this baby careear
added by Cn [Tue 26th Aug 2008 @ 10:32:58]
I bought my best friend one hoping that she may give it to me when we're ready, but I think she's saving it for the next one it's been so handy! will buy one even if I don't win!
added by SJM [Tue 26th Aug 2008 @ 10:29:43]
THIS WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE WHETHER I WIN ONE OR BUY IT MYSELF
added by teri1971 [Tue 12th Aug 2008 @ 09:41:22]
daddy would just love this!! hope we win!!
added by maedhbh [Tue 12th Aug 2008 @ 09:41:05]
I like the idea of baby being close and being able to hear my heartbeat, also the movement of walking, whilst carrying baby in a carrier, is simlar to what baby experienced in the womb. I do quite a lot of walking/hiking and although the 'all terrain' buggys are good, they dont go over stiles very easily, this option is definately the best for exploring the great outdoors!
added by crystaljo [Tue 12th Aug 2008 @ 09:40:42]
I love the idea of the jellybean baby carriers i think they r very handy and can give u a special bond with your child i would love 2 win one.

This looks like a great product for our new bump once it escapes. Would love to win it.

This would be perfect for my little one when we go on our first holiday together next xmas!

I love the peanut shell babysling it looks so cosy.

I think the Jelly Bean Carriers are an excellent alternative to pushchairs especially in the early months of a baby's life!
added by Gervais [Thu 7th Aug 2008 @ 09:41:54]
baby carriers give you such peace of mind and freedom!
added by Krazypinkminx [Thu 7th Aug 2008 @ 09:40:54]
They both look great. Would be really pleased to receive either of these.

what a good idea
added by dannielley2k1 [Thu 7th Aug 2008 @ 09:27:08]
Is the JellyBean Carrier tested for the right distribution of weight on the mother's back .... specialy for mothers who have a back problem!
added by kaveri [Wed 23rd Jul 2008 @ 09:58:53]
they both sound really good and i would be delighted to win either.
added by latin [Wed 23rd Jul 2008 @ 09:57:45]
A JellyBean baby carrier would be perfect for my newborn baby (who is due at Christmas) as I won't have to buy a double buggy, and my toddler can still have her pushchair for the long walks to town. xx
added by Fayebelle [Tue 22nd Jul 2008 @ 09:57:20]
The Jelly Bean baby Carriers seem like such a great idea, Im all up for using a buggy when needed but I can't think of a better way to carry my baby around in the early stages than this. It seems so much more personal and agreat way to make your baby feel more comfortable and relaxed. Im just past my first trimester so I feel that I can finally start getting really excited about all this stuff.
added by KATIE23 [Tue 22nd Jul 2008 @ 09:49:53]
I would love to win a baby carrier as Leia's daddy would like to be able to carry her about and as I have been carrying her for 31 weeks now, it would be nice for him to be able to feel the closeness as well when she arrives.
added by fanny789 [Tue 22nd Jul 2008 @ 09:44:39]
I love the flexibility of this product. It looks very comfortable for the baby which will feel comfortable and safe next to you without the worry of back trouble....and it looks good. Sign me up!
