The one that made me claustrophobic was a ring sling "parent's of invention" brand. I also borrowed a 'sleepy wrap' and i found this VERY comfy to use but it was hot and Archie didn't like being in it when he was awake. I could never swaddle him as a newborn and i think he just felt too squished... he was also a very hot baby and would sweat alot.
Blackrose: I also found the ring sling didn't feel "safe", like baby would tip out the side if you weren't careful! Maybe i wasn't using it right......
Hmm well you could always carry Archie on your back in a mei tai or something and push the newborn in the pram? I have no issues with any of the kids on my back - even when I lived in qld.
