Who uses a sling?Which one?

I am popping over from the expecting forum. Anyone wear their twins? If so,in what and where ccan it be purchased?

 

I did. I wore both in my pouch sling (mama made) and in my wrap. I also combined to slings/wraps/mei tais to carry them both when they got older as I could only carry them together in a single wrap for the first two mo or so.

 

I too am expecting twins, and I have been researching slings carriers to use as well. I heard on another forum that a Moby Wrap and a Beco Carrier can be worn together for twins.

Supposedly, the great thing about the Moby Wrap is that you can wear both babies in it when they are really little. They show pictures of this on their website. www.mobywrap.com

Then, when the babies are a little bigger...you can wear one in the Moby Wrap on the front and one in a Beco Carrier. The Beco Carrier is supposed to be the most comfortable thing ever, and it is not supposed to hurt your back at all. Their website is www.ecobabies.com.

I am going to purchase one of each. I hope this helps.

 

We have two ring slings (both work for two) and I just got a Kangaroo yesterday - google kanagaroo sling - from Kangaroo corner. It was shipped from MN. I love it... very simple and comfy. I'm wearing it right now!

Have fun slings are life savers!

I just wanted to post that if you are interested in the Becco carrier, you might also look into the Ergo. It looks like they are pretty similar, but the Ergo is cheaper. Also, the Ergo has a lower back portion for the child, which I think is a benefit -- mine love to lean back and look around, which they wouldn't be able to do with a higher back holding them in.

I LOVE my Ergo, but I would recommend also getting slings. I've heard that some women use two Ergo's simultaneously when the kids are older, but it seems unwieldy to me, and you couldn't do it when they are small. I am looking for two ring slings to carry both.

When they were small, I carried both "Rambo style" in my pouch slings (we have two New Native carriers http://www.newnativebaby.com/, which I liked a lot when they were small, but don't like now that they are big).

 

I have a Moby; i'm still getting used to it, since it's a bit unwieldy in the beginning. My only complaint about it is that the girls seem to get very hot in it -but i LOVE wearing them. I haven't tried them together; well, i tried it myself, but fast figured that i needed another pair of hands to help me figure it out.

a good friend who tried every sort of sling/wrap/ring/bjorn contraption RAVES about the Ergo carrier.

The Moby's are about $36 and you can get free shipping; you might also try your local craigslist....
