    was tummy to tummy (i think... the one with her upright,)

    im seriously thinking of getting a girasol loulabelle, but also want a HB (ideally i would get the g converted, but dont think that will happen tho..) how does it feel??

    hm, maybe you need to have the rings higher on your shoulder before you put her in and adjust?

    There's maddimoo in perth who's just started up doing conversions - not sure if she does HBs, though, but MTs. her work looks very good. her slots are filling up very fast, though. huge market potential for any sewers out there...

    I had a beetlebums HB which i sold. extremely comfortable, though the buckle waist didn't quite fit me - bit big. i prefer a tie waist on a MT. I sold it because it was too structured for DD's hips - pushed her legs out too much.
    There's really just too much choice - you could spend years trying to figure out the perfect carrier for you. I'm coming to the conclusion that maybe there isn't a perfect one...

    Hmmm, I'd typically angle DS a teeny bit so his head would naturally fall to my other shoulder when he fell asleep and make sure the sling is nice and firm.

    I love my Girasols - I have Northern Lights and Aurora, and they are so so so so comfy.

    I like the idea on the HB about having padded waist, all the MT i have seen dont seem as padded...or are there ones that have a nice big padded waist??

    Yea i tried getting her head to fall the other side, but she just kept flopping back... was the first time she had done it, so maybe was just in the wrong spot that time, as ive never heard of it being a problem for ppl.

    I really think i'll get a girasol...no one has said anything bad about them yet!

    i didn't like mine. Had a shorty a while back. I don't think they're bad wraps, though.

    yep, the waists vary. usually less padding, but some have some, some have none. it varies.
