I want to try wearing various different slings before I buy.... Does anyone know of any rental websites?

Is there a sling meet near you? To be honest that'd probably be the best way of trying out different types of slings. Rentals do exist but they tend to be expensive tbh and you'd be better off buying one then selling it on for £10-20 less if you didn't get on with it than spending double that renting a couple for a few weeks iyswim?

Do they sell that close to the original price then?

Absolutely, but don't sell on ebay, sell on yahoo baby wearing swap or natural mamas selling/ swaping board.

In fact, buy on there too, you'll get a better deal than if you buy new and therefore you may well lose nothing but postage if you sell it on. I've done this with at least 20 slings/ wraps . Bought 2nd hand for say £50 posted, used for a few months then sold on for £45 or 50 posted so you lose very little.

What type of slings did you want to try?
