Afternoon ladies :)
I am currently pregnant with our second child and I'm thinking about purchasing a sling to carry our newborn around in while Mr-then-4 will walk beside me. Just for little outings. As I have zero knowledge about slings, could those of you sling mums give me a heads up at what to look for or recommend a particular sling. Thanks in advance :) Tara ------------- http://lilypie.com">

We have a ring sling and a Manduca. I have found both brilliant and highly recommend the Manduca to everyone though it is a bit pricey.
http://www.slingbabies.co.nz/Site/Home.ashx - Slingbabies is a group dedicated to helping mums find the right carrier for them. There is a baby wearing group in Hamilton and I have copied this off their website for you: ~*~Waikato Baby Carriers~*~ Meets on the THIRD THURSDAY of the month 9.30am – 11.30 am (except school holidays) at Parent’s Place, 87 Boundary Rd, Hamilton. waikatobabycarriers at g mail dot com for any queries. All the best with the rest of your pregnancy! ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">

I've been to the waikato meeting and they are really helpful. they have a FB group too. If you go to a meeting you'll be able to try on a range of brands/styles to see what suits you.

My little boy is almost 4 and I bought a Manduca for #2 (now 6mths). Best thing I have ever bought, I use it almost every day! Its wonderful!
