Balboa Baby Adjustable Sling by Dr. Sears - Flower

Ok, we now have 4 ways to tote our toddler on our bodies & this is my current favorite. I had wanted a sling from the start, but couldn't find one I liked. Other rings slings have this massive "tail" that drove me nuts. The Peanut Shell brand is beautiful, but expensive. Hotslings were too size specific (my husband I would have each needed our own). I went with the Moby & then the Bjorn Active while our son was tiny.
When I started carrying him on my hip, I revisited the sling idea & found this one at a local store. It is perfect! Adjustable, neat & comfy. The rails are padded so they don't cut into his legs. The "tail" is just a strip of fabric, not a whole, giant bed sheet. It has a sort of toggle on the end that tucks neatly into a strip of fabric to keep the tail from hanging down. There are 2 little pockets on the outside for keys or change (not too useful, but once in a while they come in handy).

I am so glad I decided on this sling. I tried 2 others: the INfantino Sling rider (Which only satisfied my newborn for a week) and the HotSling, too stiff and no adjustable straps.

She was very colic-y from the beginning and this was the only way to calm her down and get her to sleep. We would swaddle her and get her in. We'd even lay her down after falling asleep safely in the sling still into her crib. It's been perfect! I'm still using it with her at 7 mos. True, if you have back problems, it's prob not going to be a positive experience for you. Also, baby may not take to the sling right at first, but keep trying it and she'll eventually cozy into it. Take this sling shopping with you, to church, to friends, restaurants - it's perfect for nestling baby so she feels safe. And you can try other positions and...Read more

I got this sling for my 2 months, It is nice, she liked it and the design is very pretty but I could not take the pain on my neck anymore. I use a hotsling now and that gives me more support in the back, I think the reason is that this Sling does not distributes the weight of the baby correctly.
