I have a Boba 2G that I LOVE. I can still carry Parker in it without it hurting my back! I also have a ring sling that I used when Braden was very little. Though I could still use it, I don't because it's just not practical for me and it digs into my shoulder since he's so big. I also have a Baby Bali Breeze that I am in love with. I used that thing soooooo much. I could still use it, but I just haven't. wrapping is tough till you get the hang of it. I also have a Sleepy Wrap that I used on both itty bitty babes, and I would use it again in a heartbeat...in the fall and winter. It's just too thick a fabric to use in summer. Oh, and I have a mesh ring sling that I used in the water with Braden. It was awesome when we went to Splash Lagoon and I could just get in and out of the water and cradle him in my arms without picking him up, putting him down, etc. I also had a Bjorn early on with Parker (before I knew what I was doing)...and I would never use that again. HTH! I love babywearing!
I c&p'd your message from the other thread. Thank you so much. After looking at all the recommendations, I think yours fit what I'm looking for.
The Boba and mesh sling seem like they're right up my alley. We want to do a lot of water stuff with Gabe this summer and I think the mesh sling is perfect!
Where did you buy your slings? And how do you figure out your size?
TIA!

This isn?t the one I have, but it looks exactly like it. I can?t find where I got mine from (it was on ebay, though).
The Boba 2G I got from Heavenly Hold. You can get it from a lot of places, but this one had the best price at the time. Just google it and see who has the best price right now. I think there is a 3G now, so you might be able to get a 2G on clearance somewhere?or you might want to go with the updated model?
I got both of these super fast...within 3-5 days for each. I have been very happy with both, as you know.
Sorry it took so long for me to get back to you...crazy night...and even crazier day! LOL If you need anything else, just let me know! You can find me on FB for fast access.
Thanks so much, I ordered the water sling and the boba (from amazon). I can't wait for them to come!
