Holy theres sooo many different types out there now!
I wondered for those that use them if you could write down which ones you have tried and put a Y or N next to the name if you liked it or not. And just copy and paste from the last person if that makes sense. I'm sorta just trying to see which end up being the most recommended in a list so I can just research those rather than all thats available..
This is sorta what I'm hoping for outta this
Wrap abc YNYY
Ring sling xyz NNY
etc
I sooo hope that makes sense.

Have split it up a bit as I have tried a nature's sway and it was awful, digs in something chronic, but I have used a better designed ring sling and it was lovely. Don't judge all ring slings by Nature's Sway ones 
Have also separated wraps out, mainly cos stretchy and woven wraps can be quite different to use 
edited to correct totals and put Becs in against the ones I have down as 'other' in case she wants to elaborate

I should add that a Podaegi is a style more than a brand, and they aren't really sold here but I have had the opportunity to try on a really well made home made one - they are Korean in origin.

I can't remember the name of my ring sling, but it's just the very standard long piece of fabric with two rings at one end and a wee zip pocket as well. I really like it although I use the Ergo more.

Ok sorry to thread highjack - what is the difference between a wrap/sling and carrier.
When do you start using them?
How do you use them?
