suse - thankyou! do you eer find the flappy material gets in your way? or can you stuff it up in the sling too?

pending a comment here illbe on the phone to them straight away !

The tail's really useful for covering up when feeding or asleep, I tend to tuck it under E's bum or wrap it around the rings otherwise. I'm not huge on really long tails, the sling I have has a shorter tail which comes to my hip. A ring sling does take marginally longer to put on compared to a pouch, but unlike a pouch is adjustable and does not need to be sized to the wearer.

How long did it take to get the hang of doing up a ring sling?
I have one at home that i never used for DS becuase I coudlnt work out how to thread it - even with instructions.
Maybe someone could put somthing on you tube for unco people like me to kearn to tie them up

Rayray - there are oodles of clips on youtube!! Google 'threading a ring sling' and 'wearing a ring sling' and you will get stacks of stuff. The zolowear tute is good, Jan Andreas' site is great, and the sakura bloom tutes are good too!

Thanks suse, I dont know why I didnt think of it sooner Ive only had the sling since DS was 6 months old...

LOL - better late than never, right? Now you can get plenty of practice before your new bubba arrives.

i think i like the look of the bubzilla, going to the shops soon to check it out - any other bubzilla users out there?

if not then i'll order the bear hug i think....

I much prefer my Bubzilla to my Bubba Moe. DH uses the BM because it fits him, but I am too small. I plan on buying a peanut shell as well so that I can have 1 sling in the wash when they are in full time use as I know there will be spew and poo occasionally.
