How many different carriers do you have?

[Dana Joy]

I am completely addicted. When the baby was born I used my Moby wrap all the time, but have since discovered all of the different carriers, and love that I can use different ones depending on my mood, ds' mood and my outfit ;)
Dh cannot believe how many I now have. It doesn't help that one of my new IRL friend sews pouches and ring slings.
Here's what's in my stash:
Moby wrap (beige)
Lovely Mama pouch sling (baby blue)
Mei Tai (Batik print)
Eesti slings lined pouch sling (purple asian style print with blue lining)
Gypsy Mama Freeya Wrap (green with dragon flies)
Eesti slings Ring Sling (Black with while flower stitching)
Mom Tai - (a brand of Mei Tai) (brown with funky print and sleeping hood)

What do you have in your stash?

TOTAL- like I have two different brand wraps, and i counted both of them.

We have four slings. All rebozos. :laughtears

:doh how could I forget- I have a rebozo that I just bought from Margot- who said she got it from you originally. (Its white) So that makes a grand total of 8 for me :shifty

[Katydid]

I have 6:
A homemade ring sling
A homemade pouch
A homemade Mei Tai
A Moby Wrap - orange (yet to be used... just got it for the new baby :) )
A Baby Bjorn
A Hip Hammock

The last two I'm only keeping cause dh likes them.... I like my homemade carriers better! :heart

:phew That seems like a lot!

[DogwoodMama]

I have 5... in order of acquisition...

Padded sling (OTSBH)- dh's favorite
Cuddle 'n Carry (mei tei, made by Arwen :tu)
Adjustable sling pouch (babyspaceAP) (don't use it much, cat hair sticks to it!)
Unpadded ring sling (sleepingbaby- Jan Andrea) *Favorite sling, use it all the time!!!*
Moby wrap- brand new, got for new baby

Also, dd has her own sling that I got at LLL for her b-day...

[Iarwain]

I lost count...

OK, let me think...

Homemade (by me):

1 gray padded ring sling
1 green unpadded ring sling
2 gauze unpadded ring slings (black and off-white)
1 black velvet pouch sling
1 black and white leopard print stretchy pouch sling
2 woven wraps (different lengths/colors)
1 red knit wrap
1 mei tai

Pre-Made:

1 Baby Trekker
1 cheap frame back pack
2 rebozos (my sister bought me as souvenirs from her Mexico City vacation)


Current total 14 but it's possible there's a couple floating around here that I missed. Some people collect shoes, I collect slings. :rockon

[miryam]

I have a Gypsy Mama (Isis)
All Cotton Mama Rebozo
Silk Brocade Mei Tai
Ring Sling a friend made
A burgundy toile pouch
A navy Baby Bjorn

A homemade gauze wrap made of sari material

and a Ring Sling in the making....

[Katiebug]

I recently donated some I wasn't using. I have:

2 Maya Wrap Rings Slings
A Taylor Made Solarveil
An Ergo
A hard hip carrier
A framed backpack

Not so bad. 6. And I only regularily use the 2 Mayas and the Ergo.

[canadiyank]

I have 4 - all WAHM ring slings. And one WAHM doll sling. :) My dh has two, I have one, and we have one from when dd1 was a baby but she doesn't want to give up. :)

[mommy2abigail]

I too, am completely addicted! Although I must say I spent more on the few store bought ones than I did on all of the handmade ones, so I guess it's ok... :shifty
1 Baby Bjorn- returned to store
1 Nojo sling- returned to store
1 Sling- returned to store (it was some funky very complicated sling-bought it 'cause there was a guy on the cover, so thought maybe dh would use it...he didn't!) :rolleyes
1 Pouch/sling- gave away to hurricane victims after Abby out grew it
1 Moby- LOVE it, still use it regularly :heart
2 Mama baby slings (by Maya)

Then for the ones I made, after finding our how easy they are! :tu
6 unpadded ring slings- different colors and fabrics
7 wraps, different lengths, colors, and fabrics
2 mei tai's (working on a third- trying to make a mei tai/pouch hybrid... :scratch)
3 tye slings-to keep in the car in just in case! :giggle
1 rebozo
2 double ring slings

So that brings my grand total to 28 (I think!) and 24 that we kept. Ok, seeing this written down is sick, I'm going to sort through them and give some more away. Oh yeah, this figure does not take into account all the slings/wraps I made and sold or gave away...Ok, I'm addicted! :mrgreen

[BeckaBlue]

[Quietspirit]

I have 3 currently.

*Maya Wrap (blue/indigo pattern....LOVE IT)

*NoJo baby sling (am donating this to Salvation Army as I just don't use it anymore...it's not comfortable for my body shape)

*I am buying an Ergo tomorrow! (I totally LOVE these carriers for back carrying! Absolutely awesome and very comfy!) Can you tell I'm excited!?


I sold an OTSBH a year ago. I liked it for my 3rd son but not for my 4th....too padded.

[kris10s]

I have already been through a lot but I'll go through what I have at the moment:

unpadded ring sling (made by me) in raspberry stretch sateen with disco dots fabric lining the tail

pouch with light leg padding ala hotslings (mbm) in cranberry stretch sateen
stretch twill pouch in khaki (mbm) for DH
fabric for a reversible black stretch sateen & black and white toile pouch

NG Ergo in camel with a camel hood

JUST (yesterday) sold Moby and bought a Freehand Mei Tai in Amy Butler Sun Dahlia's fabric (the curry color with pink flowers and green leaves on a chocolate background.)

I think I am going to get a NICE sturdy wrap at some point and be done collecting. or that's what I tell myself... yeah right.
