My storch ring sling was only £50 brand new from these guys-

Postage was super quick and included in the £50, too

Thanks ladies I've decided to sell my babasling while it's still in good condition and get a decent ring sling. That was I can hopefully afford a decent one - any absolute favourites? I'm thinking Ellaroo as Lenny Lamb are out of stock. I'm excited, now to pick what colour?!

Personally I would go for one made of proper woven wrap fabric as they will be the most supportive - Girasol, Natibaby, Didymos and Storchenwiege are all great and around the £50-60 mark. Lots of choice here: https://www.lovetobenatural.co.uk/index.php/baby-carriers/ring-slings.html.

Ellaroo is a good sling and middle of the range so a good choice x

 

[GreyGirl]

Thanks ladies Ordered an Ellaroo and a Mei Tei...I hope the babasling sells now, or else I'll be finding other stuff to sell to pay for them! Looking forward to adding more pictures here

 

[Toms Mummy]

I said Ellaroo was mid range but actually it's the same price as the storche. I think I'll be going for an ellaroo or a storch this time. Not decided yet.

Can't wait to see pics x

Love the purple! I just ordered my first woven -- a Natibaby Nepal in 4.6m. I am SO EXCITED!

Oooooo - I'll wait with you! The excitement it almost unbearable, isn't it! When's it due?

I'm hoping next week! Haha, my DH does not understand the excitement involved in this. I'll post plenty of pics!

I don't think men do get it, tbh So come on, next week is here, is the wrap?! COME ON POSTIE MAN!

I've got a babasling but I can't get my LO in it so I am going to a local meet tomorrow to see if I can get some help. She will be 7 weeks old on Wednesday

We are going away for the half term week and I wanted to have a wrap to carry her around in but no idea what I will do if we don't get on with the babasling. We are also going to Alton towers for the day in June and I was hoping to have her in a sling for some of the day so she can look around as she rally's like that

This is my 9 week old in her moby.
Not a very well wrapped wrap that time- but she was sparko and I'd just managed to get the washing in.

She's a heavy monkey. Born 10lb 1oz, hitting 14lb two weeks ago so am looking for other options.

Really want a woven wrap- but it looks addictive and expensive... OH would kill me

Going to visit sling library this week as I'm not sure if I'd prefer an ergo or a babyhawk.

Cute! If you really want one, get one! You won't be disappointed! My DH was hesitant about the price, but when he saw how much I wanted one (oogling wrap pictures all day ) he said he wanted to order me one for mother's day but let me do it instead since he didn't know which one to get. DH prefers to wear the Ergo but I prefer wraps, so having one of each (and no stroller) suits us.

Haha, don't worry solitaire89, I will be stalking the postman starting today!

What is it that's making it difficult to get your LO in? I found mine worked well once LO hit around 8 weeks and I did the tummy to tummy position which she loved We've just outgrown it, but I did like it at the time

 

[TroubleExpect]

I really struggle to get her in it like they show you in the book. She looked very squashed the one time I have used it

 

[GreyGirl]

Sorry, I can't help, I've just stopped using mine as it was too small now. Have you tried having her seated? what position was she in?


Today my ring sling arrived! I am not perfect at positioning yet, struggling to get the shoulder right and it spread out - but I'm loving how much more adjustable it is than the babasling -she felt more secure in there

Just waiting for my mei tei now

 

[solitaire89]

Wow That looks great You must be well chuffed!

 

[Toms Mummy]

That looks better greygirl. Can you spread the material over the shoulder? x

I have had her seated but she just doesn't feel secure. Went to a sling meet today and tried a ring sling. Baby was sleeping in it within 20 secs so looking at buying one of those. I really like the look of the Storch ones but struggling to find them.

 

[Toms Mummy]

I can only find storch on the net....littlepossums.com Was gutted, a 2nd hand one has just gone on ebay for £35 but I'm not buying anything yet!

 

[patch2006uk]

I really struggled to find in stock storch ring slings. In the end, I got mine from sasaslings.co.uk, and they still have some in stock

 

[Feronia]

Woo hoo, my first woven wrap arrived! (Natibaby cotton stripes size 6.) I am LOVING it so far! It's so much easier to tie and get tight compared to the one I handmade from random fabric. Best mother's day gift ever~!

I'm still practising back carries so any tips appreciated.
