Moby Sling's

Ok, so...Claudia LOVES to be held all the time. I know some people say I shouldnt give in to her and hold her, but I feel like she is only going to be little for so long and "spoiling" her will result in the same thing later on.  (when shes 5 she wont want to be held very long either way) so with all that in mind....

I want a wrap so bad! I want to be able to carry her around so shes happy and still be able to get the things done I need to get done.  i have one of those back pack carriers, and its just to bulky and creeps me out...

I have been looking for one on ebay and on my other message board and have been hearing mixed reviews. 

What is your opinion? Anyone have one that they dont need/want and would like to sell??

In my honest opinion the Moby is just too bulky and does not wear well with older babies. I like my MeiTei and my Maya Wrap the best.

If you have your heart set on a Moby and want to look at something cheaper, if you have a fabric store in your area you can get 5 yards of Jersey Cotton and it works just as well without the price, you don't even have to sew the ends b/c it does not fray. You just want the fabric to be 20 to 30 inches wide.

The Moby was nice when my twins were small, but it's a pain in the ass to tie and way too hot in the summer.

I love my BabyHawk mei tai and still use it with my girls when DH and I go hiking or out to the park (in a back carry, they're 16 months old and 24 lbs). Mei Tais are super easy and quick to tie, plus there are tons of positions you can carry your baby in them.

Maya ring slings are nice but they hurt my back once my girls were more than 15 lbs.

I had given a Moby Wrap to someone on here who was very unappreciative. If she see's this maybe she would offer to pass it on to you. Thanks

thanks ladies...i have never heard of the other type you mentioned.  i guess its time to google?!?!  are they expensive?  can i get one at bru?
