hi there what slings are you using?

this week just gone was international babywearing week... there was an expo out west auckland way. of course its too late for that now but you could check out the slingbabies website for info on diff types of slings and carriers.

i used a meitai to carry my baby when i took the boys to kindy when she was a newbornt hen later got a dulce & zoet sling which i still use occasionally on short trips into the bank etc and she is now 18 mths old. My husband uses the ergo and puts her on his back when we watched the kid play soccer and will probably use it this holidays when we take the kids to see tane mahuta too.

Iv had a natures sway and a moby

i my moby, so versatile

moby is the wrap right ? or do they do slings as well? are the wraps hard to do?

I dnt know what wold be best for me, Ty is 3 months old and I just want the sling for taking Ty in and out of school when getting C , and maybe round the house

I used a Premaxx one. Its dutch and they come in the coolest colours. I think I paid $120 for it but everyone commented on it when we used it. My husband wore it more than me and he still felt "manly" wearing it

Kelly - if I ever come visit you before your kid starts school, you could have a play with my Moby and see what you think. It's trickier to get bub in and out of than a sling (unless you do the hip hold) but bub is more secure.

I have a ring sling and love it so quick and easy and i can go for big walks as well as just pop into shops with it.

I tried a D&Z and hated it. Got a Moby and wasnt expecting it to work....ITS GREAT! James didnt really like it as a little little baby but I think that was because I wasnt confident using it.   However I got it out again and it was great. I am actually using it a lot at the moment as it is easier than carrying 9.5kgs around in my arms. Ihad him in it all day Saturday and no strain at all on my back.

I had a front pack for Tom and HATED it...must get round to selling it.

Its a bit fiddly to get on at first....but I practised a couple of times in front of the mirror and once you get the hang of it you realise its actually easier than you think. The biggest problem is it is so long that you end up trying not to drop it in puddles etc and you feel unco.

I normally put my moby on before I leave home - that way when I get somewhere I just put DS straight in - using the reflection in the car window if necessary to see what I'm doing.
