What sling would you recomend?
One that would be fine to use while walking lots, and is easy to use, is comfortable and affordable??
We have been looking into the option of using one this time round, as with having a toddler I thought it might make it easier, also Ive heard they make it easier when going flying, and I would like to save my arms, so I can still move around comfortably.

I hate my natures sway one. It is ok for toddlers but found it hopeless for little bubs.

I love my Natures Sway, I agree with Mel that it was a little fiddly when the gremlins were tiny but once I got the hang of it it was easy, and now I can get them in and out one handed.

mines a nature sway as well, and paid $60 for it from memory.
as i said you can try it out...maybe we can do a swap for the bed if you like it...it will take up no room in your luggage :)
oh yeah should add as well, if you end up with a csection, you wont be using a sling or anything for a few weeks anyway as it will pull to much on your section.
your other option as well is to look at a front pack...i have one for rhiannon is it was one of the best thing i invested in...she loved it...and the one i have you have then facing you to start with then when they can hold there heads up (around 6mths) you can forward face then

i lookeda t front pack but wasnt sure, i thought the sling looked far more comfortable for bubs, i dont think id be going anywhere for first few weeks anyway. so poor haleigh prob wont get to go back to playcentre for a while.
a swap for the bed  should see what nathan says lol. it would def take no room up in our luggage,

I have a D & Z sling... perfect for little babies and good for older ones too. Folds down flat and very small so good for popping in your bag and easy to get bubs in and out.

have you thought about an ABC or meitai sling...
have a look at jungle mama...
i tried one with toby and it was sooo comfortable and a few of the girls on here have one...they can be used with a baby right up to toddler.

I got a Heart 2 Heart, second hand off TradeMe for $25  I find it a bit fiddly, and Krystiana doesn't like being in it properly (she likes her legs over the edge, perhaps cause she's so long). I feel like I'm still getting the hang of it and it's been a couple of months now.
