Who are our resident baby wearers at the moment?

Postby sim » Sun Feb 23, 2014 9:18 am

I know quite a few of us baby wear but I've kind of lost track!

Come and say hi and let us know what type of carrier you use.


I carried DS1 (Ewan, nearly 5) from newborn and the same for DS2 (Lachlan 10 months)

I've used a moby wrap with both boys as teenys and now have a few wovens and a beco soleil. The beco is really for DH but I find it handy for quick carries or when it is a bit wet out and I don't want to trail a wrap in the mud!


What have you got? What do you love and what do you covet?

I still have the same three slings from Izzy! A stretchy wrap which gets loaned out to curious new mums :twisted: a maya tie and a silk ring sling which ripped and is currently being turned into another double layer ring sling. I also have a plain black carrier which was made for rob but he never uses it :evil:

Gimmie a few more weeks and i will be again! Im planning on using my closeparent one. Its worked well for the others. Id like to carry for longer this time. I have a boba3g which was good for james but i found him too heavy to carry after he was 1. I dont know if its the carrier or me... I see @gilbertandmartha carrying still, so i know its not impossible!!

Yup I'm stil babywearing. I wish we were walking to more places so I could do it more. But the last time Lola was in the stroller she managed to get out, so I may have to start using the sling even more :yahoo:

I used a mei tai when Lola was little, and then went onto an Ergo. Then I've been trying a couple of different ones out, my favourite at the moment is my Boba 4G (no real differences with the 3G I think), and I do have a Tula.

I can easily carry Riley in the boba or the Tula. She's about 32lbs at the moment, I can do Lockie in the Tula but I can really feel his weight on my hips. He's about 40lbs +.

Lola is comfiest in the boba, the Tula is quite high on her back and only her neck and head is out of the back.

@ems101 in my 'expert' opinion :giggle: if you're carrying heavier kids you need to have the waist strap done up really tight, so all the weight goes there. Its the same concept with a heavy rucksack. Its one of the things I don't tend to do because it squishes my belly fat up and looks bad.... so I put up with the hip pain :hohoho:

We're still babywearing at nearly 3yrs old! :yahoo:
Eleanor still loves a rest on my back after we've been out for a while.

I've got:
5 woven wraps
1 ring sling
1 baby Mei tai
1 toddler half buckle
1 one-size pod

Eleanor has 2 Didymos toy woven wraps, a mummy made Mei tai, full buckle and a ring sling

I'm here! I have a newborn and a 2.5 year old and I wear both everyday :) I'm into wovens and have about 30 (!) ranging from cheap home-made single layer silk ring slings to fancy smancy pant limited editions long wraps. I wear plain colour clothes and use my slings to add pizzazz to my outfit so I love them and all my ringslings are used as scarves and blankets too x

wait! I do have a carrier just not used yet. it's a Simply Meitai conversion using girasol northern lights with star applique. just need to get newborn growing to fit ;-)
