    I think I got lucky to find one second hand Rufalina, they appear to be a rare find! I rarely buy things new if I can help it, I'm such a tight-wad LOL!

    Willow - I've never fully washed my Ergo, just spot washed it. I worry it will fade. Let me know how yours goes, I might dare to wash mine if yours is fine!

    Trish I love second hand too... And was hoping I could sell mine after I finish with it... Good to know there is a market for them! And go on, wash the ergo. It will be fine. Comes out smelling nice and clean. The only thing that takes a bit to dry is the padding, but a day on the line was fine.

    I got my Close Carrier today . I have worn it twice on the walk to DS1's kinder and it is soooo much more comfortable than the Baby Bjorn and Alana loved it! I had so many mums come up and say how snug she looked in there LOL!

    The only thing that I'm not sure about is that I can't get her to stay up as high as the photos show. She seems to slowly slide down the more I walk around. By the time I got back from one of the walks she had moved right down low. Am I doing something wrong? Will tightening it regularly stop this? Does anyone know?

    Apart from that, I think it's great! Thanks again to everyone who helped me decide to buy one

    YAY Trish, so glad you love it. I dont have much of a prob with bub slipping down, but she is still so little. Is it tight when you put it on? I have mine rather tight when I put her in, I would just tighten it as you need to though.
