Anyone got a Peanut Shell Sling?

[MamaK]

Hi!
Sorry to hijack this thread!

I am looking at getting a Peanut Shell for our new bub, due in September. I have been given a Baba Sling by the SIL, but I have read on other posts that it can sit high on your shoulder and eventually pull on your neck.

Now, my question is this. I have a bad back, as a result of a car accident in 2002. I don't want to get a front pouch (eg: kapoochi) because I want to be able to breastfeed with it.
I used a ring sling with DS but I hadn't had my accident then.

Will a peanut shell be too uncomfortable for me to use because of my injury, or is it made so that it will sit over my shoulder bone and not just up near my neck?

Any help would be great!

Thanks in advance!!!

Another hijack! Where is the best place to buy a stylish peanut shell?

I'm quite liking one from Evie Lala.

Any thoughts? TIA.

ETA - it's the Retro Blue Reversible Peanut Shell.

I got mine from Baby Bunting, which was one of those designs

Peanut Shell in Stretch Cotton or Microfleece Single Layer?

I've been looking at slings too - thinking about a hotslings sling. I've found lots on ebay, and they have some pretty cute patterns.
For long-term carrying CalebsMum, especially for a bad back, I'd suggest something with a bit more total back support. I'm planning to use my sling for quick carrys - popping in at the grocery store, or whatever. For longer wearing, I still use my moby wrap, and find it very comfortable and supportive. Great for a newborn too - DD would sleep instantly in it! It's similar to a hug-a-bub, but without the pocket, and half the price! (google it, if you're curious) The down side, is that it takes a minute to put on, which is why I'm looking for a sling as well, but, as I said, if you are going to be wearing your baby for more than a few minutes, I'd say it's worth it!

I love my Peanut Shell! I used it for my newborn and also for my toddler! It is really comfy as it spreads the load really well across the back and shoulder.

It is one of those great things that i always have on the passenger seat of the car ready for when i dash in and out of the shop - saves my back!!

I noticed that the Babes in Arms website has got 20% OFF the microflece range!
