Baby slings

[KimB]

Hi guys, not sure if this is the area to post this but I'm just wondering what sling is the best? I want one that is comfy and adjustable or am I better off making my own. Please help

I used the Bubba Sling with both my munchkins and they were fab, comfy and kept my little ones close to my heart. When they were distressed it was instant comfort for them and me as I could have them close to me and have both hands free. And they kept bub snug and toasty warm as well, no arms and legs hanging out!

Totally depends what you are after, like, do you want a ring sling? A mei tai? A soft structured carrier? A wrap? Heaps of options out there

I bought a baby bjorn and my baby HATED it so we returned it to the shop.

I'd like to join this thread and see what others there are!

We have an Ellaroo ring sling, I love it and we still use it now. But as Arimeh's Eden said, there's heaps of different options.

I wasn't sure how much I would use a sling so I didn't want to spend heaps, so I made myself a mei tai style one. It was simple to make, it cost me $17 and I use it all the time!

It is comfortable and adjustable and I can carry my 10kg bub around for hours with no problems.

I love my close carrier and ergo, babasling I didn't like as it hurt my neck.

hey Kim - if it is for a new little one I would certainly say a Close Carrier for a first time sling user, if not a stretchy wrap (but the close is just SO MUCH EASIER!)

check out ebay at the moment - there are some half price on there from the aussie distributor, they are apparently discontinued colours .... and a bargain

Thanks Kitt3n will look on ebay tomorrow.
