I got given a natures sway sling and I hate it! its so hard to get right and is not at all comfy. So I got a moby which I love now that I have got it right, BUT its sooo hot, and Id quite like something a bit easier to pop baby in ... any advice? what about the breeze baby? ------------- http://lilypie.com">

What about a Unido - they're very pretty 
I wear DD in our Beco (SSC) and have no problems with the heat - it can get hot but nowhere near as bad as the Moby. |

Oooh yes, I second a Unido - although I have to say that I only really started to use it once DD2 was able to support herself in an upright position for hip carry.
I also can't argue with the recommendation of a SSC of some kind, but there are quite a few out there and so it really is a matter of trying things to find what suits you best (if you can) - there is the Beco as M2N has mentoned, the Ergo, Manduca, and the Patapum. A decent ring sling like the Breeze Baby would definitely beat out the natures sway though, if that's what you'd prefer, they are a little more structurally sound as you can spread the 'cap' more fully over your shoulder and it has an 'open tail' so you can adjust the rails more easily (natures sway has a closed tail I think). Have you had a look at the Slingbabies website? www.slingbabies.co.nz There are big group meets once a month, based in West Auckland, but even if you aren't in Auckland there is a page that lists various online retailers of different sling types that you could check out too. ------------- Mama to two earth walkers & two angels.
