as appealing as the sling idea is, i dont think it will work for me. I have an upper back injury which never healed correctly, so I could not walk around carrying the baby for longer periods of time like for shopping.

the slings all seem to carry quite high and the strain on my back would be too much.

carrying the capsule however has a much lower centre of gravity so would be easier for me i think. plus i can put it down when i need to. or get dh to carry it.

hadnt given the c/s thing a single thought, but perhaps it is best to give consideration to every scenario. who knows what the future brings!!!

wont be using this stuff again after this baby. it is my very last, already have two older kids. who can push a pram while i push a trolley (which is going to be very handy)
