and hold the baby cuddled up next you, not with legs dangling like usual slings, what are they called?

saw a few being used at NCT sale, and they looked lovely.

sling easy - that's the brand name of the one I have. It's FAB. Love it love it love it! my dd is nearly 4 months, and its really comfy - have a few different positions now that she's a bit older and isn't always asleep in it.

Wilkinets? They are fantastic. A friend lent me hers when I had ds1 and it was the most comfortable sling I have ever used.

was it these ?

Was it Didymos?

A friend has one and they are great. Her daughter is now 2 and she still carries her in it when necessary.

She is German and I suspect she bought the sling there. However, I'm sure I have seen them for sale in the UK, for around 40 pounds.

the ones i saw held the babies like the sling easy, but has more material around the whole body and shoulder of the parent.

should've asked what they were.

flamesparrow · 25/04/2005 20:57

i do like the coorie, but the ones isaw in use had support over both shoulders, and crossed at the back, which is making me think they may have been ellaroos.

but am tempted to buy one, dont feel comfortable with the kipling one i have atm, she seems too small still.

any recommendations?
