A Moby stretchy wrap and/or a ring sling fit the bill.

Check out UKBabywearingswap for second hand ones - theres a Moby for 30 quid, and an Ellaroo ring sling (I had one and it was great) for 25 at the moment

Stretchy wraps are quicker than woven wraps (e.g. Rebozo) as you can pre-tie them and then pop baby in and out as and when you need to. Also I found it felt very secure and I would have been able to run around with it on (not that I tried)

Stretchy wrap sling, without a doubt. I used a Kari Me which was fab. I have an ergo too and I can still bf ds in it at 12 months, but to start I'd definately recommend a wrap

Have a 17 month old DS and am due with DD in three weeks. We have a ERgo carrier and a traditional Mexican rebozo (long peice of fabric which takes a while to tie). I'd like to add to the collection with a super easy to put on sling for baby to feed in whilst I"m busy round the house/park with very active DS.
Any recommendations?

thanks

If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
