Editor’s Note: During International Babywearing Week, over a dozen active dads went for an invigorating Autumn walk on The High Line in NYC, sponsored by Britax. Thanks to NYC Dads Group member Ed Remache for this recap post documenting the experience and including some awesome pictures of dads and babies. -L.S.

Last week, over a dozen members of the NYC Dads Group and their babies met at The High Line Park to (belatedly) celebrate International Babywearing Week 2013.  With the support of Britax, which generously donated baby carriers for all participants, we made our way north to 34th street stopping a few times along the way for sightseeing, a few photos to commemorate the event, feeding our babies, and of course, spreading the word of the NYC Dads Group to numerous folks who we came across that were astonished (or amused) at the sight of so many fine gents wearing their kids at the same time and in the same place.

We couldn’t have asked for a better day.  Sunny skies and cool, comfortable Autumn weather made for an invigorating stroll through one of the City’s newest and most unique public parks.  And the Britax carriers kept all the little ones comfortable throughout, my own even taking his nap and waking up just before we wrapped the walk up over pizza.  (On a personal note, after having tried several other carriers, the Britax is my carrier of choice for its comfort, support and clean appearance)  All in all, it was a wonderful event with a great group of guys and their kids.
