It's a hip only carry, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sling-for-hip-carry#post-843656 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:57:21 +0000 LivsMama 843656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For a hip carry we use our ring sling. Ours is by Sakura Bloom, which gets pricey depending on the fabric you choose, but I've heard great things about the Maya </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sling-for-hip-carry#post-843655 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:56:57 +0000 Weagle 843655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: The sewing slots are a bummer! I have a navy one, and I'm thinking of buying a gray or oatmeal colored one. LO is a girl, but the navy sling fools people... I just really like navy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sling-for-hip-carry#post-843641 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:51:24 +0000 mrskc 843641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: I got a linen one in storm gray. I got a sewing slot last week. They were all gone within 15 minutes after I ordered. But she does them though out the day over a few days. When I went on there later in the week, there were still slots. </p> [attach=684/13/mo5mhp.600x600.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sling-for-hip-carry#post-843621 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:36:24 +0000 allison 843621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: @Weagle: what color did you get? I can't decide what I like! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sling-for-hip-carry#post-843620 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:36:13 +0000 yoursilverlining 843620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our favorite is an adjustable Hot Sling; I hip carry all the time and LO is well over 20 pounds. I could carry her all day in that thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sling-for-hip-carry#post-843614 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 20:31:49 +0000 allison 843614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskc: @Weagle: I'd never heard of Sleeping Baby Productions before! Prices are definitely so much more affordable. I'm gonna have to keep checking back to get a "sewing slot" though. Bummer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sling-for-hip-carry#post-843559 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 19:59:42 +0000 Mrs. Twine 843559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ring slings are excellent! I have a Comfy Joey Ellevill conversion (so an Ellevill wrap made into a ring sling) that I adore. They are super-fast and easy and it is the carrier I use most when I'm out and about and know Lorelei will want to be up/down lots. Some things to consider: there are lots of tutorials and patterns available online for making ring slings-- if you know someone who sews, it might be a less expensive way to have an excellent ring sling in the fabric of your choice. Comfy Joey will also do wrap conversions for a fairly modest price (under $40 I believe), so if you found a used wrap that you liked you could have it re-made into a sling and might have the total come out less than a "new" comfy joey. There are also lots of other great brands out there in varying price ranges. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sling-for-hip-carry#post-843550 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 19:56:33 +0000 Weagle 843550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sleeping Baby Productions lover here. In fact, I'm considering buying a second one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sling-for-hip-carry#post-843533 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 19:45:12 +0000 MrsRcCar 843533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a Taylor made sling to hip carry. I love it!! If you google Taylor made slings the site will pop right up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sling-for-hip-carry#post-843512 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 19:24:45 +0000 mrskc 843512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought a sleeping baby productions linen sling. I love it so far! I think her prices are more afordable too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sling-for-hip-carry#post-843410 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 17:51:45 +0000 immabeetoo 843410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the exact same boat, I ordered a Maya sling off Amazon since they have free returns. I'll report back later this week :) I want a hip carry because I think it'll keep us both less sweaty now that it is hot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sling-for-hip-carry#post-843407 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 17:47:38 +0000 Navy_Mommy 843407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ring sling is my favorite! Maya slings can be found on Amazon or Sleeping Baby Productions has great slings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sling-for-hip-carry#post-843392 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 17:39:54 +0000 emg86 843392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of my friends love the Hava sling for the hip carry position. I have one and so far have loved it for my 5 week old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sling-for-hip-carry#post-843355 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 17:03:44 +0000 PrincessBaby 843355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a comfy joey one that works really well for my 18ish lb daughter...But yeah, it was expensive, but I'm expecting to get a lot of use out of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/favorite-sling-for-hip-carry#post-843353 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 16:56:25 +0000 allison 843353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry, I apparently need lots of gear advice this evening...</p> <p>My 17 lb baby is just too heavy for me to carry around for very long before my arm feels like it's going to fall off. I have an Ergo, which we love for outings, but I was thinking a simple sling would be nice for around the house. Something I could just leave on all the time and pop him into (in the hip carry position) whenever I pick him up.</p> <p>I'd love a woven wrap one day, but I don't think that's what I'm looking for now because of all the fabric and the expense.</p> <p>I got one of the free ones from Seven Slings, but it's too small. So I was thinking one of the adjustable ones with the buckle would work well?</p> <p>Looking at this one: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Peanut-Shell-Adjustable-Whisper/dp/B004L9H18K/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/The-Peanut-Shell-Adjustable-Whisper/dp/B004L9H18K/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top</a></p> <p>Anyone tried and liked one of these? Reviews I've read are mixed, but I think a lot of them are referring to use while baby is small and not on the hip. </p>
