I've got one and DH used it more than me when we went out. When I was around the home and Andrew wouldn't sleep I had him in it just so I could do things around the house. I you do get one, make sure you get one that wil support you back as well as they can pull on you lower back. Also if you wait till the parent and child show in Wellington (8-10th Sept) then they are on sale at the BF site. ------------- I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived! |

The one I've got is great, although we haven't needed to use it much yet, it works really well - here is the website: http://www.littlekiwi-babyslings.co.nz - http://www.littlekiwi-babyslings.co.nz ------------- Jacquie - Mama to Erin, 13.07.06 - Chief Cat Chaser & Marmite Sammie Eater

when mikey was little i used a great sling that was actually just a really long piece of material. it was kinda hard to get on until i was used to it but it supported my back and i could carry mikey in it for hours. if you're interested i could get the number of the lady we got it from. ------------- |

I've been researching them lol.. I still carry Ella around on one hip. Decided it's not worth it for me as they mostly last until 2.5 years.
The one Jax posted looks good, the only thing is that it's fitted to you so if dad or grandma wants to use it, they have to be the same size as you.. Here are the links of the ones I found on TM which looked good. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Baby-gear/Backpacks-carriers/auction-66299429.htm - Link http://www.trademe.co.nz/Baby-gear/Backpacks-carriers/auction-65903786.htm - Linky ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I got it today - very pretty pink silk! But its too big for me  If anyone wants to buy it off me for cheaper have a look in the trade section, otherwise I'll get her to make it smaller for me... ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |
