Its so comfy to wear, very easy to use, and baby is comfy in it too. :D
I have used one for Ollie and Alfie, and would highly recommend them.

No - WIlliam is a heavy lump and wouldn't let me carry him - he is toooooooo independant! This morning he walked almost 2 and half miles which I think is very impressive!

No I might be looking after a friends little one regularly (may not happen but was looking around anyway) and I wanted a nicer one next time round anyway - I just had the baby bjorn sling before which although he liked I don't think was the most comfortable for him! Or me as I hae a very bad back! so thought I would have a quick research!

That looks like the one Louise is using with Iris and they both love it.

Mei teis are beautifull but very tricky to get bubs into. I have a pattapum which is similar and I can carry a 4 year old on my back with it as it distributes all the weight.

I had a Kari Me and also loved it, but what Louise has is even better as you dont have to tie it all up. Cant remember what it's called but I'm sure she will tell you.

I know she used Sa Sa Slings who come to the house and show you all of the available slings and you can try them out before you buy.

Yeah, I have a Close Parent sling and I love it. The website is here:

it's really easy to use and Iris falls asleep 9 times out of 10 she's in it!
