sling help please?

[Kitt3n]

i love my HAB, but it is not always practicle..... i dont like it falling to the floor to put in on when getting out of the car, and the on/off regime isnt always the best!

i am looking for a quick on/off "shell" sling (i think).... i want to be able to cradle her quickly and have my hands free (well free ish, i understand they wont be as free as the hab)

looking on line the peanut shell, bubzilla and singalong look like the kind of thing i am after, but i dont want to spend too much.........

please help, any reviews etc?

i would also like to gt a meitei later, but for now (right now!!) am looking at the cradle carry.....

good luck Are you good with a sewing machine? If you are you could make one yourself easy! Just with a tie and not a ring.

I don't have one except the one I made at home out of a pashmere shawl lol I have a MT, ergo and 4 wraps and I must say the MT is the most used here. That and the leo storch.

I personally think its best to take Matisse into the shop with you and try the different ones on to see what work for both of you. I have a peanut shell sling and an ergo. I thought i would use the peanut more but Byron doesnt really like it in there, i think he feels to closed in. We use it while he is asleep and it is quick and easy but in saying that so is the ergo and i tend to use the ergo more often as he can look around when he is awake.

thanks ladies

i cant sew, would love to learn but if i tried to make something it would probably contain finger bits!

Might go down to the baby shop today - its just annoying that one store has this one, another store has that one.... and i need the sling to get from one to the other!

Anyone know of any that are UNDER the common $70-$80 price range?

Nope, only if you get them made by someone who does a copy, or on ebay. I just won an auction for a bubzilla sling and got it for $45, there are a few on there..
