      Is the valor thief not a bigger fan of the military than the Kyle & the Jodie, ultimately, the better lover to the Jodie?

        Well but MOLLE is pretty practical for a baby carrier. You can add lots of attachments like bottle holders. And having a baby in front of you is basically like a meat shield, if someone shoots at you the projectile still needs to penetrate the baby to hit you. I don’t see an issue there.

          Telling your child almost immediately after birth that you’re embarrassed to be seen carrying/being around them. Not a great look for a new dad.

          Oh, it’s simply something for men who are super worried about other men thinking they’re manly enough. They think having a child makes them weak, and so they have to macho it up to super prove to other men that just because they’re… tough? Super manly tough. Like really macho awesome bicep manly.

            I mean what makes a baby carrier “tactical”? Being black, tan, or camouflage fabric? A lot of loops?

              Tan military style coloring, padding simulating “armor”, tactical bulky pockets mimicking pockets on military gear, it was pretty obvious if you saw it.

                I looked up tactical baby carrier

                and they really do not look all that different than when I look up baby carrier

                Granted, I’m not into fashion or anything. I would have no problem using either of these.

        Okay, was there a baby in it (or at least nearby)? Style, even if bad taste is one thing, but if they were using that as gear, that’s a whole different story
