It's time to move on :( There isnt a hope in hell of getting my last lady into a sling any more, so thy need good homes where they will be loved and appreciated.

I have:

One navy blue Happybaby ring sling €20.00
One Olive Green ring sling €20.00
Well worn and super loved second hand greyish Ergo - make me an offer as I havent a clue!
One stripy Connecta soft structured carrier (love this one) - €45.00

Will email pics if you PM me.

No newborn inserts i'm afraid Granada but they are available online I think. I used the ring slings until they went into the SSC. The Connecta is like this one http://www.connectababycarrier.com/inde ... =page&id=5 without the hood. So has big strong clip yokes. :D (i'm very bad with the terminology)

The connecta is deffo not suitable for a newborn but fantastic from about 5 months on. A nice simple sling :-)

Ok, I haven't a clue what any of them are, except that obviously they are slings, but DS2 is 4 mths, and I am looking for something that I can put him into so I can get out and let DS1 play in the estate without having to drag out the buggy with me. Would any of these suit? Something that is easy to use too as I am a sling virgin. :biggrin: And DS2 is a nosy one so likes to watch everything, so it would have to let him see out a bit or is that even possible? :oha:

Hiya, they'd all be suitable in their own ways :biggrin: - all my babies were nosy. The ring slings are very adaptable, easy on, easy off and you could easily hold your DS2 on your hip, or asleep while watching DS1. The Ergo and Connecta are better for when you are moving around, walking, shops, etc. I found them much better as the baby grew and my DH was much happier using these. With practice they are all easy to put on and my babies would sleep well and nose around the place from both the Ergo and connecta.

Would you like to try them out? PM me if you want and you can give them a lash and see what suits? Its the only way to get a real feel for them.
