[JellyBeann]

Our Ring Sling. I did struggle to get a good seat though, any tips?

 

[katerdid]

Eeee, Gem - tooooo cute! You and your boys are gorgeous

 

[Tulip]

Jelly have you tried pushing his feet up at the same time as tightening the bottom rail? I really struggle with RSs...

Babywearing has suddenly become a whole lot easier now that Ollie has consented to have his legs out. He is no longer constantly rammed up my left nostril

Aww love your son baby wearing!

And your avatar is awesome. Did the author of hyperbole and a half make the drawing or did you improvise? Love it either way!

We're starting to get somewhere with wrapping

I had a little pocket of loose fabric here, but it didn't affect comfort or security for either of us and for once Ollie didn't kick off. I think it's because I'm getting quicker so he's not getting pissed off while I faff about.

Aaaahhhh I finally got my custom made Mei Tai in the mail today and used it right away. I've been looking forward back wearing DD for a while, so here are pictures

 

[Menelly]

So cute! She looks like she's having a blast in there.

Anyone know how old a baby should be before trying a back carry in a Mei Tai? I'm sure good head control is essential, but I'm still curious. I think my little girl will love it, she spends so much time looking around when I'm carrying her on my front.

Haha I stole it from a lady on my facebook thanks!

My Storch from the co-op arrived on Friday but I haven't taken any pics yet. I'm not totally in love with it and I'm considering trading it but I'll give it some time to see if I can get it softer. I'm also going to have to learn some new carries to see if the length is ok. I think I want it one size shorter or longer.

Also I might have just bought a hoernum fish shortie... DH doesnt't know yet... It's going to be hard to hide when it arrives.

 

[Snuffy]

I felt the same about my storch for a long time, but a lot of braiding and unbraiding helped. It's still not the first sling I reach for and I've been debating selling it for a while.

 

[cheese lover]

ugh, I was hoping someone would tell me its going to be good I told DH I was going to trade it for a Leo last night and he was kinda upset. He talked me into giving it a chance. I've heard such great things about leo's that I'd love to trade it for a 4.2 black and white. I'd like to dye it. I've seen some gorgeous dyed b&w leos. I don't have a large enough stash to have wrap that I don't love.

New ring sling, my first! My husband picked it out himself as my Mother's Day present I love it.

Danielle- did you get Storch stripes? I've heard those are bad to break in! I was also thinking of getting a b/w Leo size 5(is that 4.2?) and dying it! Lol. I am not sure who does a good dye job though, it sure wouldn't be me. I like the natural and blue one as well.

 

[cheese lover]

No I got the storch bio Louise, the ones with the fleur de lis on it. Man is it serious! I've heard it makes a good toddler wrap when its broken in though. I bought a clematis (25% linen) brand new and it was nothing to break in compared to this. I haven't been braiding it as much as I did the clematis though. I have an afghan I need to finish so my hands have been busy in the evenings. Once that's done I'll dedicate myself to breaking this in.
I really like the looks of a green dyed black and white Leo and I'm seriously considering buying myself one maybe this fall. I have an Osnaburg wrap to break in and dye already so it'll be a few months before I'm ready for a new wrap project.

My hoernum fish chopped wrap should arrive today! I still haven't told DH that I bought it. I guess I'll just tell him when it gets here. I cant' wait to finish it! It's got a straight cut and its unhemmed. I'll post some pics of it later.

starlithome, that's a beautiful RS! I love the colors and the pattern! I've never had a RS. I've always had wraps.

I know, my husband picked it out - what a good eye he has! I am totally in love with it, it's perfect.
I fall in love with wraps when I see them, but then I remember I live in a humid, tropical climate and all the wrapping and fabric would be awful I think...

 

[cheese lover]

The carries that I do are mostly single layer like a ruck (so ruck tie under bum, ruck tie in front) or hip/front carries kinda like your RS (Robin's hip carry, rebozo). There are a couple that I do that are more layers and warmer but its still only spring here so not too warm yet. There are thin wraps and linen wraps as well. So many options! I think that's how some families end up with so many wraps

The Ellevill Zara got stripped form a kind of washed out blackish/navy colour..........

and dyed bahama blue. im considering doing a purple mirrored grad ..............

OH said I should sell it as i've already got two size 4's and an ellevill already (Inka and Geckos nero on the way) and a three (ellevill jade plum).....but stripping and dying cos "it wont sell in that manky colour" means that it's ended up with a couple of barely-visible ink blobs......but it wont sell like that, will it?! I'll just have to keep it!!!!! First action shot in sunlight after dying! (excuse the shoddy wrap job, LO was in a straightening mood)

so nice up close too!!!
