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. |

Did you want specific brands Stacey?
Wraps Moby YY Moby D Y other (T_Rex) Y Storchenwiege (woven) Y Ring slings Nature's Sway NN Oyako Y other (T_Rex) N Pouch slings Dulce & Zoet Y Unido Y Frontpacks elite cruiser/baby bjorn etc NNNN! Soft structured carriers Ergo Y Manduca Y 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. ------------- Mama to two earth walkers & two angels.

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? ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

Can't pass up that invitation - PM your schedule and I'll make a time to come and see both of you.
I can come during the week after 3pm, or the weekend, which ever suits. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow"> [/url] Angel June 2012 |

Sorry to threadjack but can someone please help me decide between a Neobulle woven wrap and a Kozy Carrier? Lol. I want them both. Addicted much?
So wish I lived somewhere that had Slingbabies meetings! We have a Moby and an Ergo already. Like them both but to be honest, the Moby seems much more comfortable. I want another one for back carrying. We are going dairy farming later on this year and would like one for the farm and one for "good". TIA! ------------- http://lilypie.com">
