best sling for a 18 month old?

[Tess]

pref back or side carry.
I loved my mei tai's and would prob still use them but i never figured out how to do a side carry in them. The back carry was fine but i had to put her in it at home lol.
I want something for just if we are out walking and she gets tired or wants a carry, just to pop her into easily cos guaranteed she will want to get down again 5 mins later so needs to be relatively flaff free :D

I love the freedom ring sling, but just sold mine this week to someone on here and yes right on cue, I could have been doing with it today as we were out, Zara was tired and we didn't have the buggy:cheesy:

[Tess]

yep, im thinking a ring sling, there are so many to choose from :confused:

[shazgh]

have you looked at the freedom sling website, that was the most reasonably priced i could find, and it worked for me

[Tess]

I have a connecta - it's like a mei tie but without the complication.

Ive just bought a freedom sling on ebay second hand and then i got 2 mei tais from the US. The lady was running a promotion and i ended up getting 2 with postage for just 28 pounds. One black and white for DP and one for me thats a bit more colourfull. I think i should be pretty covered for all stages of baby hood now.

I hear the ergo is very good but its so expensive i cant justify spending that much money on it.

I know someone who is being sent a free ergo because she promised to show it to people and tell them how wonderful it is.

For a free sling id wear a tshirt every day with someones website writen all over it. Ive seen people wear them and they are absolutely amazing things. Shame these brands dont get shown to the public a bit more. People seem to think all there is on the market is baby bjorn and stuff. I carried a friends baby in one for 5 minutes once and swore never again.

Maybe you should contact some of the companies that make the slings and ask - can't hurt imo.

Have your tried a Coorie sling from Brightspark? I used her slings when Abbie was wee and loved them!

I used a coorie when the girls were little but as they got heavier I felt it dug into me a bit, I preferred the ringsling for heavier weights

I love my ergo and angeltail ring sling. Its lovely pink colour with a pocket. Am keeping the ergo as it is fab for back carry. Will show you the angeltail next week. what day is good for you?

They wouldn't see you or anything if you e-mailed them though.
I've heard that the ergo is no good if you aren't very tall.

[Seren]

the ergo is fine for me and I'm not tall. I have the new generation not the original if that makes any difference

[Tess]

I've got the freedom sling (Thank Sharon, it's sods law, when you think you don't need something, you always find you do) and can't wait to start using it, will bw good to take out with me when Baby is in the pram and william is walking as he can still sit on the hip seat.
