Sling meet

[GreenFingeredMummy]

Hi everyone

Does anyone fancy doing a sling meet in Newcastle sometime soon? Im a total novice and would love to meet other babywearers before my second babe arrives in May.

Maybe somewhere with nice cakes!!

Hi my 1st is due in July

OK...not about the sling meet but a bit of advice needed. I have a 10 month old who is about 9.5kg and a 2 1/2 year old. My eldest was out of the pushchair v early, but now she sees her brother in it she wants to go back in when she is tired. I used to have a Bushbaby coccoon front carrier, which I loved, but he got too heavy and the straps started to give way. I have been looking at getting a back carrier, just a lightweight one, not the rigid metal frame things. Something I could pop in the bottom of the pushchair and use it for my son if my daughter wanted a rest, or could pop in boot of the car for walks in the park etc. I hate pushing the pushchair and loved having him on me!! I have seen a Patapum and a Mei Tai which will take his weight, I just don't know what type to go for. It needs to be easy to put on, I am on my own most of the time with the 2 kids and don't want to rely on others to put him in it or hold him while I fasten it onto me. Anyway, any recommendations or advice would be greatly received!
