baby slings
It's too hot for me to sleep, so....I'm researching baby slings.
I really would like a sling this time to wear with this baby. I had/have a backpack-type carrier that I'll probably still use but I just really like the contact with slings. I want an adjustable one, preferably with a ring. And, if possible, I'd like to buy one that both I and Big A can wear.
Something like this:
Problem is, I don't know much about slings. I bought one that is not adjustable and it's probably too small so I think I'm going to pass it on to one of my smaller friends. The other problem? They are not cheap! $50+ and that may not seem like a lot to someone, but it is to me (especially with the new car).
So rock and hard place, here I am. Anybody have suggestions about slings (regardless of price, really)??

I sew them, but you might want to check out a few of these links for better priced slings that are, in my opinion, top quality.

I have the all natural cotton sling, which is on sale right now for $30.00! It's really really comfy and nice.

I have one of these. It's nice because of the sewn in pocket. So it fits like a pouch, but adjusts like a ring sling. It also has a closed tail, so not as much fabric in the way. I like bigger rings than she uses though. It's a bit hard to adjust. I buy medium sling rings from slingrings.com and sew them in myself. She has a few slings on sale right now under $50. One for $36.95. She also has a discount of 10% right now.

This is a Canadian store, and they make very high quality slings. They have free shipping, and the Canadian dollar should save you a little. They cost $44. Super deal!
I really think a good carrier is like an investment in your baby. If you can manage to purchase one of these slings, you won't be disappointed, and it will definitely be worth it! I would highly highly recommend jumping on the sale at Kimz Kreations! She is very popular for the style of shoulder she sews. Very very comfy!
Hopefully I didn't bombard you with too much info :) I just love sharing the love!
