aww Jen what a cutie!
i just pulled my RS out for a quick pop to the supermarket and DD was asleep, she kept resting her head on the rings =( i kept moving her and them out of the way and readjusting but when she skirmed she kept banging them. any ideas on how to avoid this? can you get little pillow things to cover them?
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!
Mad, because I'm fairly new to wovens, what would you suggest I try for a warm weather wrap, mainly back carry. Ds is just under 8kg now so I'm guessing we will be around 10 when summer comes.

Loulabelle - Jim Salvia is the best wrap, it's thin, suitable for warmer weather .. Some people complain that it's diggy, but I don't find that at all.. I haven't tried many other wraps though to compare..
I did THE BEST DH wrap job today! I've had trouble getting the hang of it, I can't seem to get the chest bit tight enough, but today was awesome! I did it in from of a mirror though, in the baby change room, so I cheated a bit lol
well nebbia, or ellevill karma for a versatile wrap.
otherwise it depends whether you want to do single or multi-layer carries? The vatanai jacquards are good value and pretty comfy in multilayers. maybe ok in single, too, depending on the wrap.
I will admit I'm being sorely tempted by both a nebbia and a caribe - but they're both 6's and I'm not sure I'm keen on buying one only to chop it down to a shorter size. Though that said, I've seen some people do some pretty funky things with the leftovers. Argh, decisions!
I'm also probably not thinking all that clearly at the moment, Alex is teething so we've had a bit of a rough week
I'm not a Gira fan either, but i've only tried one. Too thick for my liking, as in not slippy enough for tying. MadB - the Jade is thinner but has similar wrapping qualities to the Karma. I do love all the Ellevills I've tried though.
T - try putting some of the fabric that's hanging down over the rings to cushion. That's what I do. DD2 likes to suck on them here.
I think I may have found my ISO (Natibaby Crimson Silk Linden). Soooo excited! Offloading a sz 4 Didy to make room for it.
I think my Diva Milano is my favourite to wrap with.
has anybody got/used a carrier from two mommas designs? I'm thinking of getting a HB through them (not a WC) just as a cheaper option for now until I get an expensive wc custom (in a few years...if then)
Thanks Jen - that is a good idea
