I had to laugh when I read your post -- I've been having the exact same internal conversation ("yes, I *promise* to sell at least three slings to fund this inevitable purchase... honest... ish").


But they do look good, don't they? I'm tempted but at ?95 would like to see one in real life.


I also like the look of the SleepyNico but it's a little too close to my CatBirdBaby MeiTai to be a justifiable purchase ;-)


So -- anyone got a Babyhawk Oh Snap?

Sleepy Nico looks nice too!


basically love the joey sling pattern but can't be faffed with mai tai (totally rubbish at tying knots!) and the ergo seems a bit flimsy/boring in black.....


Anyone any views on soft structured carriers at all?

I've tried so many slings and bought a few before finally finding the 'ultimate sling'. I really got on best with the Babyhawk. It was very expensive, but also a good investment. I've used it lots and it still looks brand new. It washes well in the wm and it's easy to put on and off. It has a soft fabric on the inside and a good support, esp good if they go to sleep. It has a pocket and the carnival flower design. Sadly my son is too heavy now for carrying, so I'm going to sell it. But I m also happy for anyone to try it on, if you're still not sure.

I'd love to see an Oh Snap in real life as well (instead of oogling internet photos!)... but doubt I'll be getting one now as I've just ordered a LittleLife Discoverer: not pretty but highly rated by several people I know as a good solution for carrying older babies on back (I'm finding baby #4 harder to carry than the previous three, in part because he's less cooperative, and in part because my back's more knackered now than it was four children and 8 years ago! :-); until now I've got away with using ring slings, tie-on wraps and mai-tais -- all of which look much nicer than the backpacks!


Will keep an eye on this thread to see if any chance to see the Oh Snap materialises!

Ah OK - yes, my other sling is an Eco Baby which later became the Mei Tai....so is in pretty paisley fabric with brown straps. I love it but my hubby refuses to wear it - so the plain black Ergo is good for that!


Agree it looks higher in the back though now you say it.


Will be waiting to find out what the 'secret deal' is!

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
