is a freedom ring sling any good?

[mumofdjandbabies]

roughly what do they go for sec hand does anyone know

They are good, nice basic RS.
They go for about a tenner I'd say, in fact there is someone selling one on the babywearing yahoo group right now here who is open for offers if you can join fast enough!

I hated mine, sold it on pretty quick, fabric is quite rough and hard to adjust through the rings. A few other people I know have said the same thing. The babywearing group have lots of ring slings come up as CG said, Ellaroo are meant to be a good one.

i've got one, and wouldn't be without it. I've had a slingeasy in the past (used it until it fell to bits!), but think i prefer the freedom really as the padding is much less bulky.
i don't find the fabric rough or easy to adjust btw, but slings are very much a personal thing. could you try to find a sling-meet somewhere near you to try a few out perhaps?

brightsparkslings do a good non-padded version as well which is fairly reasonably priced.
I forgot some freedom slings can be padded, I did not get on with padded ring slings!

never tried a sling except baby bjorn is that whats it called or is that the doll

Im sure you know the one though!!!

so novice alert here!!

tell us what you're after then mumofdj, why are you looking for a ring sling? Babybjorn carrier is a very different way of carrying a baby.

I SAW ONE LOCAL TO ME ON EBAY oops caps so thought might be worth a try if stays cheap?!!

wnt to wear baby round the house and if poss even breast feed in one, so want a good versatile sling

not sure if a sling share thingy near me (cnetral scotland)

have bought a close sling sec hand its in cupboard not a clue if good or not tho, bought off a pals pal!

freedom slings generally sold quite cheap as they're cheaper to buy than other rings. The close is a cross between a ring & a wrap sling, some people on here rave about it. Why don't you try that first (although not sure whether as good as a ring sling gen. for bf) and then see if you want another? They're 50+ new! There are sling meets in scotland, have a look.

thanks love will look there
