    Shopping. DS in a sling, the shopping beneath and atop the pram. It's genius.

    I was ill when DS was little - when I found it hard to walk, I could put DS in the pram and push it and still get about. Sorta like a mamma-zimmer. Great for getting me to see the GP!

    Also sometimes either DS or I were just over-touched and needed time apart - when we were out and about, the pram helped there.

    I've worn two and have always had a pram. Especially for times other people might be helping you out. My DH is only happy to BW to a certain extent, my mum can't at all so I found the pram helpful for those times.
    Exercising.
    Some babies just like their own space too.

    Also helpful when you are out and about and need to eat or go to the loo as without a pram you have nowhere to put bub.

    I plan to BW this time, at least for the first few months. At least by then DD will be definately old enough to walk short distances.

    I use both (for obvious reasons). If you plan on being a mainly BWing mama I would just get a cheaper pram and have a large carrier stash

    Just out of curiosity what slings do you have?
