i'm looking into registering for a sling but i dont know what kind people prefer (i dont want to feel like shes going to slide out)- im hoping to use it around the house a lot in the beginning but i also dont want to spend a fortune.

 

any recommendations?

    I think the Maya wrap would be the one most likely to be found in a store (ring sling)... oh, I think peanut shell and hotsling both have pouches available. Pouches are tricky to get fitted for though, I think. The Moby is very popular, but it's not a sling...

    I use a sleepy wrap and both my husband and I love it.

    A lot of people here love the Moby (which Babies r us has on their website) but I never could get the hang of it.  Next time around, I'd like to try a ring sling for the first few months.

    I'm a total ring sling junky, but I've never liked them for around the house - at least not for getting anything done. I always feel like I need to have one hand available at all times just in case, and that's just not conducive to dealing with housework.

    When he was tiny, I had a Moby knockoff that I loved. Now that he's bigger, I have a Beco and we do back carries.

    But for general use, the ring sling is #1 in my book! I have a Maya, a WAHM model from Etsy, and a wrap that I had converted to a RS. I love them all! They're really, really versatile, and fantastic for slipping on and off when you're out running errands.

    ETA that I also have a pouch carrier - I had that prior to my RS. As pp mentioned, they're hard to fit. Hotslings does make an adjustable model now, but they're really not meant for larger/older babies. A ring sling is essentially the same thing as a pouch, and most are just as well suited for toddlers as they are for infants.

    I have a zolowear ring and I've tortured that thing to death and it's still holding up super well.

    Babywearing is a very personal thing.  Everyone seems to have their favorite.  For newborns, I really like the moby wrap.  A good Ring Sling (like Storchenwiege) is also a great tool.  That is where I would start, with those two.
