i can't go past my ring sling (i have an ellaroo) for the quick trip to the shops...i shove into my handbag and rip it out when i need it. it also doubles as a comforter blankie for DD when she cracks it .
like you, i find the ergo takes a bit more time and i dont have quite as much freedom of movement (also doesnt quite fit nicely into a handbag LOL!)..also in the ring sling they can curl up like little bunny rabbits against your chest as newborns and mwaaahhhhhhhhhh it's just divine! LOL!
as the others have said you can NEVER have too many. seriously.
i am soooo confused now girls! i don't know what i want.....
ok, here's the run down.....i think i want something just for when he's a newborn, as i have the ergo for when he's older (suse, he's one month old). he loves it in the hab, but sometimes i feel like it's a lot of hassle to 'set up' when i'm out and about itms?
it's great for when i'm at home, but when i just wanna pop into a shop and then back out to the car it seems like a lot of hoo-ha iykwim?
i'm not really into those ones that look like they're just sorta laying there and not all wrapped up tight and snug iykwim?
mel- can you tell me a bit more about the close carrier? is itvery similar to a hab? is it easy to put on? does your ds love it in there?
I just won a Ella Roo Mei Hip Carrier on ebay for $17 and its brand new. I have been searchign and search and finally found something that is us.
I tried to use my sling here like i see alot of people use theirs for their toddlers and it jsut wasnt right...it was hurting my back and neck although mateauz loved it.
Looks like i can sell on my Oobi soon I sure am gonna miss the old boy
oh and I have a quesiton...how the hell do people get bigger kids on their backs with slings and mei tais?????
Hee hee Eugenia - so it was you who snaffled that O&A. Nice one. I always love it when I work out who someone else is on another forum - often I pass people like ships in the night until one day the penny drops. Although I tend to mostly lurk on BCD these days - I just don't have time to post anymore But occasionally I poke my head up and say hello LOL.
Maz - to do the monkey hold in a sling you put them in the hip hold and then cinch it around. Very useful when installing car seats!! I am looking forward to being able to use my slings again, but at the moment it is far too painful and my belly is in the way.
Yes, it was me. I hope Beth can get around to the post office this week but I told her I wasn't in a hurry (I lied!) so I'm not expecting it to be sent til next week. I'll post pictures on BCD when I get it so pop in to have a look.
Also I lost the argument with myself. I am now in the market for a wrap, if only I could decide what I want
If you're in Brissy, possibly a Vatanai will suit best - they are lightweight and airy but still really supportive, I love mine. The stripes are apparently a bit airier than the jacquards. They are great hot weather wraps, Didy waves are comparable in airyness but a little thicker, Indios are denser again and Storches are denser again. I have Vat Tibet, Storch Leo, and a Waves MT conversion and I only use Leo as a single layer carrier in the cooler months, whereas I can use the Vat in a FWCC all year round except for the very wettest/hottest parts of the year.
