We have a ring sling (100knots I think it's called) and a baby bjorn. I must admit to using the baby bjorn more often than the ring sling because i just can't work the damn thing out!! Every time I've used it DH has had to help me, I couldn't do it on my own and I don't think we ever got it quite right, he never looked really comfy?? It's been sitting in my boot for weeks now and I've contemplated selling it.

I would love to learn how to use it properly but none of my friends or anyone I know uses one.

The baby bjorn is just so quick and easy to get DS in and out of, but I'll admit it kills my shoulders (I have a bad shoulder too).

Used a friends pouch sling when I was in Adelaide visiting and DS and I both hated it! Neither of us were very comfortable and he got soooo hot so quickly - he is a very warm baby though.
