    Does this sling exist?

    Hi ladies, hoping someone may be able to help. I already have a Mei Tai and a HAB but I'm now after a sling that will allow me to do the cradle hold. I'm not a big fan of ring slings with the long 'tail' of material as I think it will just get in the way and the Bubba Moe and Minimonkey don't look like they would be very comfy with the thin straps. So I'm wondering is there a sling that allows you to do the cradle hold, that I can just slip on without have to tie bits of material and that is comfy? I have an idea of what I want but I just can't seem to find it! Any help is appreciated!

    Hmm just had a look at the peanut shell - that's kinda what I'm after. Have you used it - is it very comfy?

    I'd second a peanut shell for sure

    Yep I loved mine. I made it myself using the Karma Babies Pattern but there are quite a few brands.
    We only just stopped using ours in the last few months (my little guy is 2 in Feb), so versatile I found.

    I'd say either the peanut shell sling or hot sling.

    I don't find them particularly comfortable, but that doesn't mean that they won't be for you.
