Baby Bjorn and other slings

[Guest guest]

It appears that is like his brother and prefers to be carried around

as much as possible. I used a Wilkinet with but seem to be finding it

a bit of a faff when I'm trying to go out with all of them this time,

decided, after trying a friends, that I would like a Baby Bjorn

Just before I go out to purchase one - is there anyone out there looking to

sell one -(virtual NNS with donation to NCT for sale etc) I will happily pay

postage too. please e-mail me offlist csl@...

Also trying to get the hang of the other type of sling (with two rings to

adjust at the shoulder) any tips???

Hi ,

One thing with the ring slings that I discovered after several months of

usage and practise was that it was actually too big for me. Mine is a

Sling-easy, I got the regular size and I am by no means a small person.

Are you having trouble cinching baby up high enough to be secure? What you

can do is remove a couple of inches of the padding at either end (just by

carefully unpicking the edge then resewing) then you will be able to pull

much more of the materiel through the rings making it much tighter.

They are wonderful slings when you get the hang of them but you need to have

the baby pulled up high enough, or they can feel really uncomfortable.

Sorry to gloat, but I found a perfect Baby Bjorn carrier at a car boot sale

for £2 this morning much to my delight! (You can never have too many slings

;o) )
