Slings and backpacks

I love my R&R, but need a newborn sling. Moby?

I'd like a wrap sling for dc2. I bought a didymos for ds1 but didn't get on with it at all. I am quite small and felt swamped by the didymos.

I love the R&R, I prefer buckles to ties, but I'd like a nice tight wrap sling to keep dc2 close while I run around after my very active 3yo. Plus I carried ds in the R&R till I was preg, and think he might feel quite territorial about it.

Any recommendations? Reading the archives I am thinking Moby.

Or are there are sling shops in London? There must be one somewhere!

thanks

I loved my Moby! Straightforward - no buckles - the same one can be used by anyone as you just tie it to fit, easy to put on. DD also loved it.

About £35 online from Sasa Slings (just google it).

Yep, I loved my Moby Wrap too, I ordered it from Baby Bean and they were fab, have had lots of special offers and discount codes from them since too. In fact, the latest one might still work - try FOPTA for 10% off.

I loved my Kari Me which is pretty much the same. I'd just order whatever you find prettiest I think stretchy wraps are all pretty similar.

I had a close sling (strechy wrap) Very easy to put on/off quickly, no tieing, I used until DS was 10mth and he loved it too, i also have a R&R now..
