Baby carriers

7 replies

Firefly112 · 14/08/2017 21:41

I'm looking to get a baby sling, just for round the house so nothing expensive. Already have a carrier for when we're out and it's a bit of hassle getting on when I just want to quickly put one on so I can get things done! Does anyone have any recommendations? I've been looking at liberty slings as they're not expensive (maternity pay is nothing) I wasn't sure wether to go with the wrap or the ring sling. Anyone tried both? I was thinking the ring sling looks easier.

I think I have a ring sling? It's the caboo close and it's brilliant! I got it second hand off Facebook for £25 but retails new at around £60-70.

I don't really use in the house yet unless returning from a walk but use it every day for walks and it's brilliant for shopping.

DP uses it in the evening to settle her if she needs a 'reset' before finishing off evening feed.

That's the only bad point actually as with this I have to adjust it after he's used it and vice versa

Close Caboo has been a saver for me! Bought off eBay for under a tenner and in good condition - it's a cloth style wrap but already set up so you just slip it on and baby in - seems a bit strange at first but you get used to how you put baby in!

I 3rd the Close Caboo. Especially for when they're tiny.

Yup close Caboo here as well! I do recommend going to your sling library to try out different types as well tho 🙂

I bought a stretchy wrap off Amazon for £20! Called funki flamingo. Had no problem with it and used it from when she was tiny without an issue. Just practised tying it a couple of times and watched YouTube videos rather than the instructions Smile

I'll look up the caboo thank you! Where would I find a sling library?
