I want a nice sling in funky fabric

[fillyjonk]

Nothing scary and patcholi looking please.

What I really want is something like the fabulous baby bjorn but in nice fabric.

you could ask slinkymalinki to paint one for you! this is her thread

Hot Mama Slings - not Bjorn like but very, very good. Still carry 10 month, hefty 26lber in one.

thanks gomez. i do tend to have probs with side carry slings though-back probs. so i need something that distributes weight

(oh and saturdayschild, lol! I clicked on the thread but I suspect that that would be a bit out of my budget!)

No ignore me it was Hot Slings.

ah no have tried hotslings, doesn't work for me, side carry again

Sorry me again . I wore DS at the front, legs either side of my waist as he got bigger until he was around 6 months if that is any help. I also use a back-pack and a hippy chick that I had from his two big sister but I do like my hot sling. Also I bought and ex-rental/demo one to try so was cheaper. HTH anyway.

woohoo!

am not sure if it will work on a newborn though?

Right you are then I will just bugger off!

oh gomez you have been really helpful

I shoudl have said of my side-carrying woes

I do like the hotslings very much and have toyed with getting two and crossing them over but then realised that this was the road to bankrupcy

i have a gorgeous red yamo one. is v much like the ergo i have (which is much less exciting fabric) which i bought after hiring from bigmama.

they (the two of them) are the only slings ive ever had that dont hurt me. and ive tried them all.

is this sling but in much nicer design.

bloody hell that is a fine sling

but unavalible to "trade issues"

still i have til february...

Very fine - I could go one of them!

[Have however just spent an obscene amount of money on a bike trailer so best not....]

i beleive the ergo has a 'newborn insert'? details of which i know nothing about as ds3 wasnt new when i got it.

i carry him now on cross-country treks and hes 18m. still no pain! (and my back tingles and burns in places all the time tbh)

whats it like for newborns, tranquilla?

you can't use the ergo for newborns without the insert but I can't see a mention of an insert for this one. it does say from 3 months

wow, there's service for you

ooh ooh, thats it! thats mine. the red and white and black flowery thing. (i dont normally do floral, but its nice, no?)

i got mine on ebay

Surf one not available but some others are cgi.ebay.co.uk/Yamo-Baby-Carrier-NEW-7-designs-available-choose_W0QQitemZ200138885446QQihZ010QQcateg oryZ100983QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

ummmmmm. dunno about newborns.

BUT i did just yesterday re-find several other slings which are suitable for newborns, so you could have a lend of one fo those till she/he is big enough for the glorious and wonderful Yamo??

Oops nearly but I am sure you could work it out from there.

rofl at 'rot' as a colourway name

'Tis German for red to be fair

hehe

and father is farter too

Now you are really taking the piss........
