Sounds simple enough, but let me give you the whole picture. Living in the city, and especially navigating the metro, makes strollers more of an inconvenience than an aid. So, Parisians all have one of these front-facing baby carriers so they can strap on their baby and still have their hands free. This also simplifies navigating the stairs and squeezing through the turnstile at metro stops.
I typically see men carrying babies this way, while traveling alone. Plus, with the cold weather, every baby I have seen in a carrier is sporting a fuzzy, pink bodysuit, and its legs are bouncing around with every step the dad takes.
This combination makes for an amusing sight. Picture Alan from the Hangover, but here, the man carrying the baby is dressed in Parisian designer clothes.
