slings

[queenofpuddings]

Can anyone recommend a good sling suitable for a baby from 9 months old? Ta

I use a wrap (5 yards x 20 inches) that I made myself - see here for tying techniques or the didymos site. DH (not having my voluptuous shape) prefers our bushbaby backpack (see here for site, they don't do same model any more but nearest to premier I think) - DS is a big 22 months and DH still likes to carry him rather than use a pushchair.

Sorry, first link not working, try this

It really depends what type you are after.
Woven wraps or structured carriers or something inbetween?
I would always recommend the Ergo baby carrier, but it's not quite a sling.

I like my coorie sling from \link{brightsparkslings.co.uk}. My dd is only 4 months but it says in the booklet suitable from birth to toddlers as there are different ways to carry the lo. It is very cosy and comfy as well as easy to get lo in and out of. I love it .

oops try \link{http.www.brightsparslings.co.uk}

or even \link{brightsparkslings.co.uk}

oh bollocks! I won't humiliate myself by trying again but you get the idea!

Thanks for that

There is lots of info there
I like my Huggababy and Ringslings in genreal, but also have a asian style one, mei tei, which is nice enough, and a Sutemi which is very handy, too!
But the easiest is a Ringsling!But depends really how much you use it, etc..!

grr, I just did it again, sigh...darn links, lol!
