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!

    • For anyone interested in the conservation of birds, here's a reminder that It's the RSPB  bird survey this weekend. Anyone can take part and it's completely free. Just register on the RSPB website and download your bird identifier. It takes just one hour of your time to count the number and type of bird you see in your garden or local park. The more people taking part, the better we can track how well our birds are doing. It's a great activity to do with the kids and grandkids.
    • I would support bringing back some sort of sanction for not turning up (if it's not still in force).  But I think a sanction that reduces your ability to book in advance (say you go from 7 to 3 days advance) rather than a fine would be more effective and easier on the staff who work there.  It would also be more effective for rich people who might not care about paying the fines. Or you could just fine say the top 5 worst offenders in a month, which would probably take out those who had a genuine one-off emergency so couldn't turn up.
    • Just joined, thanks for organising and heads-up...
    • Whether a pool is overcrowded or not, the absence of the lifeguard is the critical factor here. To use this tragic anecdote as a reason to disregard valid points about accessibility is a reach too far and designed to emotionally blackmail anyone who disagrees with the status quo. At least some - not all - of the hours of operation ought to be for drop-ins as has been standard for decades. (Overcrowding is easily prevented with the use of wristbands and/or headcount at ticket desk, etc. - as was the case before Covid.)
