  Sweet, thanks!  I just ordered one for John's first plane trip, so I can wear him in the airport.  The Sleepywrap just wasn't cutting it anymore.

  That's an ongoing "free" promotion.

   Make sure to size up in the slings, they are wonky. They also aren't very supportive. I throw mine on if I have to go in the post office or something super quick. Anything more than 20 min and they don't work or they start to shift too much.

  Maybe I'm being judgey and this has nothing to do with the slings themselves but I can't get over how those models look like they're wearing the babies as accessories. Not to mention they look like they've never been pregnant a day in their life.

  B/c most likely they haven't. 

  Okay tell me the truth ladies, who here is wearing their baby, who is say 25lbs? I have a hard enough time carrying Annabelle around for a good length of time. And when we go hiking, I make DH wear her, in our Kelty backpack.

  The attachment parenting board has a lot of women carrying toddlers 2+. They are mostly using woven wraps, Boba's and other toddler carriers.

  And I agree Sarah, those models are ridiculous.

  We have a Kelty Backpack that we use for hiking. DD really likes to walk herself, so I'm all for that.

  I don't usually start out wearing John (22 lbs), but I usually have a carrier b/c he likes to walk, but then he gets tired and half the time he will not tolerate being in a stroller and wants to be held so I just wear him, but with the Sleepywrap it gets so hot and it is a lot of weight that is almost 100% on my shoulders and I can't take it for very long. I feel like w/the sling, some of the weight will be on my hip

  Yeah, the sleepywraps aren't good past 20 lbs. I would think about getting an Ergo or Boba if you end up wearing him frequently. The sling is OK but most of the weight ends up being on your shoulder. The hip carry is very scary, their back kind of hangs out and they tend to flop backwards. I always have to hold her with one arm when we use the sling because it's not so sturdy. It's really just a thin, tablecloth like piece of fabric that forms a tube.

  I'd wear DC if I had an easier carrier to use.  Plus I haven't mastered the back carry with the current carrier.  DC is as heavy as my 2y/o niece and dc doesn't "hold" the weight like my niece does.  HEAVY!

  Yea, I feel like the flopping isn't really an issue with a 15 month old.  so it might be more usefully once she's sturdy, plus DS is starting to hate how confined he is in the sleepywrap, so maybe b/c this wrap is thinner he might have more flexiblity?  If he hates it, it's just $10 in s&h that I wasted

  No need to be all judge-y...just wanted to share in case anyone was interested.  I was looking for something simple like this since I just need something to help support Bobby when I'm carrying him around and my arms are getting tired.  I don't like the confinement and heat generated when "wearing" him.  That's why I sold my Mei Tai at WeeCycle.

  I wasn't aware that giving and opinion and personal experience with a product was judgy. I also have a much smaller child and experience with many other types of carriers, that's why I stated my opinion. I hate to see people waste money. I wasn't judging anyone's parenting.

  If it were an electronics product and I said "Oh it's pretty buggy, has low battery life, etc you can get xyz instead, I got that better and liked it" that wouldn't be considered judgy.
