Slings...
Hi ladies
There was a really good thread a while back all about slings, but I can't find it now!
When my little madam arrives, I will be responsible for also walking our dog when my husband goes back to work... We have ordered an all terrain pushchair with a carrycot with I will probably use most of the time, but we would also like a sling for the very off road trails that we like to use!
I have seen the babybjorn sling, but I was interested in the slings which are less structured than this one. Does anyone have any experience of using these slings and also can anyone recommend a good site for buying them?
I really wish I could find that old thread - the website was brilliant with loads of slings in different materials - they were ace!
Many thanks

Hope it is a help
I have bought the babasling. They have a website which is www.thebabasling.co.uk they are priced at ??39.99 but I got mine from tk max on sale for ??13 a few months ago. I know my tk max have them in stock now for ??19.99.
Hope this helps

I've used a structured carrier, a ring sling and a Mei tai for my two and the Mei tai is definately my favourite as it is comfiest and leaves your hands free. I made mine myself and I'm going to be selling them soon so if you want something really different, watch this space!
Bedhead, you are absolutely right - that's the site I was thinking about - can't believe I couldn't find it!!!
My husband has a back problem and also shoulder problems (it's what happens when you fall down mountains on a regular basis!) and the structured carriers cause him too much of a problem... They say on their website that the baby wrap is the best one for someone with a bad back - do you have any experience of these? My preference would be the mei tai I think, but we'd probably end up with just one, rather than one each - no plans for another baby at any time in the future!!! So I think I may have to compromise!
Thanks again!

I bought one. It's a lovely sling but unfortunately I haven't been able to get Claudia into it succesfully yet. I'm pretty sure they are ok though as I've seen other mums using them who loved them. Think might just need to keep trying with it! Price is really reasonable and was delivered really quickly too.
