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!

    • You will need to be able to provide an address before the council or animal welfare will get involved. Dogs can be left outside if they have access to shelter. In this instance, there does seem to be a pattern. We had a neighbour who let her dog bark. She said "He likes barking" so didn't do anything.  She didn't like being shouted at over the gardens or her door knocked by her various annoyed neighbours, so it stopped. Just a thought.    
    • They have a dress code? We looked through the window on Sunday night. Sadly it seems that  the lovely tiled floor has been replaced with something that looks like laminate, and there is some absolutely hideous wallpaper (my opinion only, I realise people have different tastes) above  the end of the bar. I can't remember what was there before the wallpaper.
    • Thanks so much Sue, I will get in touch with Noise Control and start keeping a proper record of the barking. I am actually planning to get my windows replaced, so if all else fails that should eventually help!
    • In the last few days, I’m getting 10 plus emails a day saying I need to do something urgent to my phone. I’m just deleting hesitant to unsubscribe because that might take me into a virus. but what can I do and is there a safe way of finding if it’s actually  genuine?
