View Full Version : sling users? harrisonsdream 04-20-2007, 12:59 PM which one(s) do you have or have you used? post a picture if you have one trevsnavywife 04-20-2007, 01:23 PM I have several. I'm a bit of a carrier junkie. I don't have pics right now. But i have a Hotsling (pouch style) a New Native Carrier (pouch style) A ring sling (mayawrap style) which I made and have the most experiance using. it's adjustable and that is really nice so DH can use the same one I am using and he doesn't have to have one of his own. I also have a Mei Tai, it's a front or back carrier, it's nice but not my favorite. Ring Sling http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b346/tmbarlow/DSC00689.jpg Mei Tai http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b346/tmbarlow/MotherDaughterComfort.jpg http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b346/tmbarlow/IMG_1301.jpg Mini Mommy (had to add for good measure :)) http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b346/tmbarlow/wr-71.jpg *~*Terri*~* 04-20-2007, 01:26 PM Sorry, no pics, but I have a Baby Bjorn, a Mei Tei, and a ring sling. I LOVED the ring sling when my kids were BABY babies, the Mei Tei is AWESOME, and the Baby Bjorn is pretty good too, but I find that I get warm with that one. I LOVE slings though....and would HIGHLY recommend getting one:) One website that I would check out for slings/breastfeeding/all things "earthy" is www.earthymommies.com. I LOVE it there :) Jill 04-20-2007, 01:27 PM I am soo Mei Tai when we have our next kid. Those things look soo comfy harrisonsdream 04-20-2007, 01:27 PM i want a sling so so badly, esp one that i can use to breastfeed with without alot of hassle *~*Terri*~* 04-20-2007, 01:33 PM i want a sling so so badly, esp one that i can use to breastfeed with without alot of hassle I would probably suggest a ring sling then. You can use the "tail" to help cover you up. :wink harrisonsdream 04-20-2007, 01:34 PM thank you *~*Terri*~* 04-20-2007, 01:35 PM Anytime!! :) RockstarMom 04-20-2007, 01:40 PM I have a Maya Wrap style I made and I am still in the attempts in making my Mei Tai. I used my sling today as a hip hammock when I was vacuuming since the baby is sick and wanted to be held. Slings are WONDEFUL inventions! piggypunkinetta 04-20-2007, 01:51 PM I made myself a maya wrap style. This is the best picture I have. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v215/piggylu/zoo_july.jpg Teresa 04-20-2007, 02:05 PM I have a maya wrap (http://www.mayawrap.com/viewItem.asp?ItemID=100002&UnitCde=1&Desc=Adjustable%20Pouch&VendorDesc=&Search=N)adjustable pouch that I have never used. I tried using it when Nate was smaller but never got the hang of it :nutts He never liked it, either, but that was probably because I didn't really know how to use it :D I used my Baby Bjorn while he was a little smaller and had no problems with it, except for it was a bit of a hassle to put on sometimes. Now that he is older I love my mei tai :) I haven't tried wearing him on my back yet like Marla in her picture but we're working on it! Joy 04-20-2007, 02:24 PM Rockstarmom made this for me when I visited San Diego.

DH was in Iraq from the time Lydia was 4 months old until she was 9 months old and I had to walk the dogs several times a day with her, so she'd ride along in the bjorn. I don't have any pics of us though now I wish I had taken some. Now we have a baby backpack made by Snugli, she's in that a couple times a day too. I couldn't live without my bjorn when she was really little, I'd wear it around the house to clean, cook, whatever. aubrey 04-21-2007, 12:45 AM My favorite sling is my Oopa (this is the one I have: http://www.oopababy.com/shop/detail/47)! I've also owned and liked Zolo slings. My favorite Mei Tai right now is my Freehand Mei Tai. I love this thing sooo much! Wraps I'm not so much into. |
