I'm going to keep posting all pictures of the clematis until everyone is sick of seeing it Maybe I'll see if my sister wants to try some wrapping this weekend when they get here. She loved using the Ergo when we last visited.
I'm going to post in DIY too but has anyone made their own Mei Tai? I'm thinking of making a couple this weekend to give to Isis's classroom. They have some high needs babies and only one baby bjorn that I gave them.

I haven't but I was thinking of making my own too! I was perusing patterns online the other day.

I was inspired by the cheap and easy DIY wrap thread on TBW so I'm probably going to pick up something to make into a wrap. Maybe some fabric or maybe a cheap tablecloth. I'm itching to dye something...Maybe I'll dye something for the DIY Mei Tai's too

I love all the wraps, the moby is still workin for us so far nut also have a chicco front carrier. I like the moby because I can tuck her head under the shoulder part and she goes to sleep. How r the other wraps as far as putting the on and holding in place? And I have to ask, with the back carry how in the world do u ladies do it? If I got her in I dont think I could get her out!

awwwww, love the little squish!!!! so cute!

there are loads of videos online of how to do various carries with a woven, sma Once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy to put them up and down. Back carries are a bit scary at first, but after a few tries it's no worries

 

[cheese lover]

It was a little scary at first with back carries but I have an older baby that could stand up by the time I started wrapping with a woven so I wasn't too worried about getting her down since I could let her slide down until she stood if I had to. Now we're much more graceful and I don't worry about getting her down even in parking lots. I actually have a harder time wrapping in front than back now.

When u take them out do u have to un wrap and rewrap each time? What age is best to start at

With a wrap I would always put the wrap on 1st then put LO in it and then adjust if needed. That way when I was out I could just take LO in and out without undoing the wrap at all....... it saves the ends getting dirty on the floor too )

It arrived!!!! Rose and Rebellion pre-school carrier We haven't had a chance to really try it out, as OH has been meja busy and I don't generally carry Imogen, but they wandered round the house in it the other morning and Imogen just looks SO much more comfortable. The big straps are lovely, the wide chest strap is particularly nice and OH says it's more comfortable than the Beco butterfly. In the Beco, the back barely reached to half way up her back and her legs were dangling away in it so she couldn't really go to sleep. She's got so much room in this one and it has lovely padded bits for her legs and supports her from armpit to knee she practically fell asleep in it straight away

For most carries, yes. There are a few (like the fcc) that you can leave wrapped on you if you want. You can start at any age you feel comfortable! I know lots of ppl have started at 1 day old for front carries

Oh Aunty, looks so comfy! Is it wrong to want someone to carry me in one

Tulip, loving the sleepy dust! Awwwwwe!

What other carry besides FCC can you keep wrapped on and just place them in/out? I've pretty much only done that one because of the ease in popping her in and out. But it'd be fun to try a new one or two!

Um, the coolest hip cross carry (CHCC) and hip kangaroo. Also FRTR and semi fwcc are both totally poppable with sling rings or a reverse slip knot.

Question time...I found this gorgeous shop in my town yesterday, it's an Indian restaurant, but in the front, they have a clothing/rug/fabric/cushion cover shop. They have this gorgeous fabric, goats wool with embroidery on, I've fallen in love with it, I even had a dream about it last night!! Would it work well as a wrap, or would it be too warm? It is £35 a metre, so I want to be sure!

Sounds a bit stretchy to me, and how washable would it be?
