If you're a sewer, there's a good website with instructions for how to make the different types of slings. It has pattens for the different types of slings. I was inspired after seeing my friend's D&Z and realising it would be easy as to make - Sling patterns]]> Thu, 24 Apr 2008 15:24:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16261&PID=365083&title=slings#365083 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16261&PID=356135&title=slings#356135 Author: NeoshasMummy

Oh no it wasnt nasty lol I was just wondering why they werent liked. Dont worry im not easily offended
To be honest I did wonder why there were so many on TM especially the (new and near new ones) kinda makes sense. I agree with u on the patapum though, I borrowed my sil while staying with her and it was great for this age! ]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 14:52:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16261&PID=356120&title=slings#356120 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16261&PID=356101&title=slings#356101 Author: AliaDawn

Didn't mean to sound nasty there (just hoping it didn't seem that way) I know some people really like them, but alot really don't, and I don't know of it's worth the risk. Of course if you like them, it's great as 2nd hand ones are insanely cheap on TM. I guess you could always buy a local 2nd hand one and if you don't like it onsell it.]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 14:37:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16261&PID=356101&title=slings#356101 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16261&PID=356078&title=slings#356078 Author: NeoshasMummy

Hi, i have a "hug a bub" and love it, totally hands free and bub is close to you and fully supported. Plus because the weight is distributed evenly due to the way you wrap it over your body you dont get a sore back or anything(this is a wrap style sling)and it can be worn various ways depending on bubs age, its quite pricey around $150 but there is also the "moby" wrap which is alot cheaper and pretty much the same thing.]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 13:46:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16261&PID=356002&title=slings#356002 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16261&PID=355877&title=slings#355877 Author: Maya

I had a Nature Sway for the gremlins (actually I still have it but can't find it ) and it was good. I was never able to be 100% hands free tho, I always felt like I had to have one hand on bubba.

I am looking at either a D and Z or a Little Kiwi Sling merino one for this bub.]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:33:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16261&PID=355877&title=slings#355877 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16261&PID=355853&title=slings#355853 Author: AliaDawn

Oh yeah, and if you're looking for an older baby/toddler a patapum would probably be a better idea, alot more comfy, but also a bit more expensive.]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:17:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16261&PID=355853&title=slings#355853 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16261&PID=355851&title=slings#355851 Author: AliaDawn

Alot of people don't really like natures sway (which is why there's so many "excellent condition" cheap ones going on TM) If I was buying one I'd probably go for a dulce & zoet, or a unido sling (depending on what fabric you prefer) for cheaper NZ made ones.]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 12:16:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16261&PID=355851&title=slings#355851 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16261&PID=355739&title=slings#355739 Author: NeoshasMummy

Hi there, I have the BUBBA MOE sling which is from Australia. I got my mum to get it and send it over because they say it can be used till they are like two years old. I found it very awkward with a newborn though she didnt sit properly in it. I bought the Natures sway Sling a few months ago and have used it since Neosha was about 7 months old and its great! It doesnt slip on my shoulder, I dont get a sore neck like I do with the bubba moe and its perfect for this age where she just sits on my hip and it holds her in place. Anyway my fav has been the natures sway and I would NEVER go back to a front pack ]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 11:06:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16261&PID=355739&title=slings#355739 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=16261&PID=353042&title=slings#353042 Author: Bizzy
