My first one was a Mai Tai from Junglemama which I loved, it was great for Cooper when he was younger. Now that that hes older I have a copy of a Dolce & Zoet sling that I brought from the LLL for $40 I love it, he doesn't complain about it either.
I'd recommend that you have a look at http://www.slingbabies.co.nz - slingbabies I found this site really helpful when I was trying to decide which one to get. ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)

I third Slingbabies.
And I  my Moby wrap, it's not strictly a sling but it rocks. Lil miss isn't a big fan of the sling and the Moby allows me to be 100% hands free.------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

| I love my Hug a Bub (very similar to the Moby) its not a sling but a wrap style carrier, its great, super comfy and totally hands free. Slingbabies website is great, heaps of info for you to compare to see what suits. |

hey just wanted to add my 5 cents worth...ive used a Natures Sway sling with my step son and he loved it and it was awesome because its adjustable...so i could use it, his daddy could use it his mum could use it ( and shes lots smaller then me) etc but with some of them they have a specific size so if multiple people wanted to use it you would have to get more then 1...i guess for most people this isnt really a problem but something to keep in mind i guess. -------------    |

I'll throw in my two cents, too.
I love Love LOVE my Moby.
It's totally hands-free and really comfy and secure. I just wish I bought it sooner. But that's just me

All I can say is I had one of the old-skool style ones for Ella and found it pretty useless, so definantly do your research first and choose a clever design for functionality. ------------- Andie |

Thanks for all your ideas. Had a natures sway for Luke but was too tricky and didn't work for me so want to try a new one for the next baby.
May be a moby will do some more research thanks  -------------

Oooh, Jezsika - what colour Unido do you have. Mines black and white and very scrummy - Zach looks so sweet in it and it is really comfy for me.

| We have a Moby sling and DD never particularly liked it, even as a newborn. She gets grizzly now if we try and use it at 9 months so we don't bother. Not sure whether it was the Moby or if she wouldn't have liked any type of sling - I think the latter. |

Mercedes never much liked the sling, and lil miss loves the Moby wrap but hates the sling. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)
