Ummm....I have two Ergos, a Babyhawk mei tai, a Baby K'tan, a toddler Patapum, a Moby, a Wrapsody BBB, a Beco Butterfly, a mesh water pouch sling, and I'm probably ordering a SBP ring sling here in the next few days.

just 2. I have a kangapack and a hotsling. I prefer the pouch when they're tiny and the ssc when they're older. I MIGHT get a different SSC though. I don't wear brown much anymore and want one that matches

Default Re: How many carriers do you have ?

15, I think.

Girsol Polkka 4.6 woven wrap, a Bamberoo standard MT, a Bamberoo WCMT, a Bamberoo WC SSC, and a Bamberoo SV SSC, (Can you tell I like Bamberoo? ) I have several MT's I made one from an Easycare wrap, a faux-bamberoo SV MT that I made, a SBP RS in Hopp Salzberg, Girasol Fresh Grapes, and an orange and cream Didy Indio linen (I forget the name). A Scootababy, a Boba, an Active Mom Carrier MT, a Lucky Baby pouch, a Hotsling pouch, I think that's it. I think.

I'm thinking of getting either a wrap or a SBP ring sling in one of the new diamond weave girasol wraps. I'm not sure.

You don't even want to know the list of things that I've had come through here at one time or another... I love babywearing. I love trying out carriers. I'm hoping to start a babywearing group in my town this fall!

Default Re: How many carriers do you have ?

So I'm not doing too bad with 10 carriers!! I got bit badly by the carrier bug! I wear my baby daily, so why not have some fun with it ?!

2 Giras ~ a sustain.bow- size 4 (coming today, squeee!) and a light diamondweave rainbow- size 7. I'm hoping to have one wrap in each size, someday. They are so fun.

2 Wrapsody wraps ~ a Bali Breeze in Hope and a Hybrid Stretch in Stella

Anaja Wrap

Action Baby Carrier ~ Happy Camper- the print with owls. This is technically daddy's carrier

Beco ~ I can't remember what the print is called It has pretty birds and I got it from our very own FrogMama.

SBP ringsling ~ Slingified easycare rainbow #1

Modmum pouch sling

Ball Baby Mei Tai

I also have a spare ring sling that isn't too awesome, but works in a pinch.



I'm on the prowl for a water carrier so we can have fun at the pool this year!

Default Re: How many carriers do you have ?

How do you like that diamond weave? I'm thinking of getting one soon-ish and either wrapping with it or slingifying it. Although I need another RS like I need another hole in the head. I just learned the double hammock carry and so I've been bitten by the wrapping bug after 5 years of babywearing. Finally!!!

Cro, awesome idea to keep the death bag on hand to show people what NOT to use. I'm going to keep my eye out for one!

Yep, it makes for a good visual and really drives the point home about the difference in carriers.

I love my diamondweave. It was my first woven, so I'm still getting the hang of it. I wish I wouldn't have gotten such a long one. I've toyed with the idea of making it into a shorty and a RS, but IDK if I'm brave enough to change up my first woven wrap. I'm sentimental about really weird things!

I have
2 Moby (one reg on moby D)
2 Boba
1 ring sling
and 1 homemade mei tai that I love but never wear anymore because the Boba is just so much easier.

I'd love to try the Beco and the Ergo to see what the difference is...and maybe the newer Boba, I love our Bobas seriously use multiple times everyday.

Just two (a moby and a mei tai). Current babe doesn't really like them at all, so I'm pretty much done using them. Baby wearing wasn't ever my strong suit.
