Come and show/tell me about your baby carrier/sling and which one i should get!!

[pinkrangernowwobbles]

Never thought that these would appeal to me but ds2 does like to cry a bit and i found that he settle really well while i was just walking around kitchen one armed with him trying to cook dinner tonight so which one should i get, he is 6 weeks old and i will probley use it up until he is one! This is a minefield to me as i have never looked into them before!!

Come and tell me!

Thank you

i know some of you use these

I love the huggababy

very adaptable and I used it with ds until he was 2 (he was not a small baby). I even took him across London in it when he was about 2.5. Much easier than using a buggy.

we used a roobaby pouch sling when ds was that age and when he got bigger a ergo carrier until very recently(hes 22 months-could have gone on longer but im short and petite and hes not!!!) which he adored!both very comfy for me and him.

Another vote for the Huggababy. Very easy to put on; you can bf in it, and graduate to different positions as the baby/toddler grows.

Hugabub or a wrap sling - just a long piece of material you wrap round you & baby. Looks daunting at 1st but easy and super comfy once you get the hang of it

Just had a look the Hugababy does look good ! any more suggestions

Wrap slings are great and very versatile. Whereabout are you? If you have a local shop you can try different kinds and see which you like . Have heard good things about the Ergo as well.

Oh and I have a Didymos - bit more expensive but v good quality.

Im in maidstone, kent - i would like to try some to see what are comfortable

Most of the places I know are in N/e London so nt much help. Do some websites do hire as well as buy? Or could you borrow a friend's?

oh, i got my first girasol yesterday and it is thin and flannelly soft and perfect for a newborn but sturdy and versatile enough to still take my 2 stone toddler. Cheaper than Didy and Storch too.

i could do with a 6wk old just to put in a wrap sling and potter about the house. I felt really stupid when dd insisted I carry her dolly around instead of her. ]
