What's in Your Stash?

[ailean]

This is like the babywearer's confession booth. Post what's in your stash here and update whenever there's a change. The main purpose of this so you know who you need to ask if you would like to try out a certain type of sling.

I'll post my stash at the weekend (gulp)!

[crace]

Ugh, I just asked this in the SM thread..

LOL at the confessional -how true.

I have a Native Baby pouch and a fleece wrap that is gorgeous and loving at the moment.

Can't wait to see what everyone else has!

Wow! I've just started reading Sling Meet, but I am so impressed by how many slings you have! I bought my one (and only :( ) sling when Jessica was 2 months old, it is a freedom wrap. I'm just interested in why you have different styles though - i love my wrap, and i use it daily, It's so easy to tie (heh, even hubby can do it :D ), and to be honest, I am scared to try any of the others!

Just curious - I know it's an old thread, I just think it's cool that so many other people are so into babywearing! I think I'm regarded as a strange 'hippy type' here in our village! :)

[joanna_ford]

Hi - I've just joined the forum and am looking forward to meeting other babywearers in my area, I seem to be the only one out of my friends who lugs my baby around on a regular basis!

I have the following slings:

Baby Bjorn (rubbish, only got it because my boyfriend wanted one)
Sling Easy
Hug-a-bub
Peanut Shell in microfleece

Each have their advantages and disadvantages. I have just ordered a New Generation Ergo carrier as my little one is approaching the 20lb mark and puts quite a strain on my shoulder when I use my ring sling, although I would say for ease this is my favourite at the moment.

Just wondered why you want to trade your Ergo for a Patapum Denie? They look pretty similar, are the Patapum better?

I'm hankering after a lightly padded Maya and also a Mei Tei but will have to save up for these to feed my addiction!

[RubyTuesday]

Well as of this minute i have:

All PINK Nino didymos 4
Red Nino Didymos 4
Aubergine Indio 6 (was a nat brown but i dyed it)
Black seattle (never use this so not sure why i havent sold it lol)

Connecta in leather and fur
3rd Generation Beco in i thik raisen sakura
4th gen beco in pistachio (this is being offered for a swap else where right now)
Expresso babyhawk, headrest,pink stripes pocket lined with pink minkie (hopefully this will be sold soon too)
my small but nearly perfectly formed stash!

[fayjay]

Hi Kate

Are you based in Faversham?? I think I met your friend Sally at the last slingmeet in Rochester and the LLL in Chatham. She suggested the next meet to be in faversham at the soft play centre, which is apparently closeto the town centre and good for those who don't drive??? I'm happy to come to Faversham ( a first for me) if you swould like to make it to the next meet???

Let know :)

[Bucket]

Hello Fay,

Yup that's me.
I would love it if you came to Faversham to meet (I'm a lazy old bag me).
The soft play centre is called the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Centre and is in Whitstable Road, Faversham.

http://www.favershamgym.freeserve.co.uk/

I recon it's about a 15 min stroll from the station.

I look forward to meeting you all.

Well, compared to all of you, I'm very small fry in terms of collecting! But then, my daughter is only 8 weeks old, give me time!

I have:

Carrier-type ones:
a Tomy one - not sure what it's called, got it from someone on Freecycle

Wraps:
Kari-me (burgundy)

Pouch Slings:
Brightslings fleece (Earl stripey one)

Ring Slings:
Freedom unpadded organic (it's on its way - ETA it's now here and is my favourite! I just need some in different colours now)

So, not much of a stash just yet, but I'm addicted already.

[beal_cain]

seeing all your lists is making me less nervous about buying and justifying my third.

i was intorduced to slinging when ds2 was 3months old, by greenplover and have never looked back. DS1 even wants carrying now, pretty hard as he's a bulky 2 year old, but i at least try (for a minute or 2)

wraps - moby: moss, bebina: rainbow (old stripe), calinbleu gauze: hot pink
ring sling - maya LP: rainbow, rockin' baby: purple swirl/black reversible
pouch: rockn' baby
MT - Ellaroo
Pod - Ellaroo


a few more in library which haven't included

[GreenPlover]

My stash has been through a full on descale :)

I have only got Connectas, APLX, Beco, 1 Didymos a Smileull, and another Krusedull on the way.

Heather likes to walk a lot these days but she still likes a cuddle and a snooze.

[Peaches]

I am just a beginner with an Active Baby Bjorn and a Hug-a-bub but looking to buy a Mei Tai

[sthullen]

I'm also just a beginner with a small stash...

1 x Kozy carrier
1 x Pea in a Pod pouch
1 x Hotslings
1 x Patapum baby carrier

I had a wrap, Calin Bleu, but couldn't get it to work right for us!;(

[mitzi]

I have far more than I need, but if you want to try a specific wrap, at the moment I have at least one of:

Didymos indio and nino, Hoppediz, Girasol, Lana, Moby, BaraBarn and Vatanai

Also have ringslings, MTs, podaegis, an onbuhimo, a hotsling (size 3) and probably a couple of other odd bits and pieces. :rolleyes:

[BeaAndJennaMay]

iv only just joined here ......my one and only sling (at the moment) is a Close Baby Carrier.....totally in love with it but i want more....my parnter wont let me tho.....boo hooo

[naomij]

I have a babasling, and am planning on buying an Ergo when she is big enough.

[fir5t-time-mum]

hi im new to all this!!!
i only have a few but not bad going for a first time mum:

black ring sling
brown and cream napsack
and awaiting a black and white Sa-Be wrap

:)

[tiggercats]

I only started BW 3 weeks ago so my stash is basic and starting with the cheapies until I know I'll use them.

2 x Moby (1 is UV protection)
2 x Ellaroo - too scared of woven to even open the packets so far
1 x Maya tie MT - so far my favourite, easy to use and comfortable

[ranger]

I have:
- 1 premaxx (bagsling)
- 1 babybjorn - but no idea where it actually is as I have not used it for so long
- 1 Mei Tai - have used it a lot with my first to do back carry when he became bigger, but think I will invest in a better one at some point for my second son as it was a cheap one from Ebay and the straps are a bit short for my taste
- 1 Moby wrap (UV protection) which I bought just before my second son was born

[Nevrandil]

I have a Moby in Navy Moon - love it but have some issues with it :(

[Ltenn81]

Hi! I have the moby in navy moon as well :) what issues are you having?

I also have an Ergo, a mei tai, a papoozle, and old baby bjorn that I will probably never use and I really, really want a woven wrap!!!

[Nevrandil]

Hey :)

Well, my baby hates having her head 'stuck' but she's not able to hold it up herself so I am constantly supporting her head. She's also wriggle-y but the 'worst' bit is that I can't breastfeed in it. If I wear her too low my back hurts and she can't see and it doesn't comply with KISS. If I wear her too high I can't nurse her.

I have bought a Beco Gemini in Espresso and it's fantastic. Her dad loves it too. It's so easy to get her in and out etc. :)

[Nevrandil]

I have a Moby in Navy Moon - love it but have some issues with it :(

I have since sold this and now have:

1 bEco Gemini
1 Ergo
1 Zara Leaf woven wrap
1 Babasling and
1 Hippychick seat
