    Who wants to talk slingset?

    Very interesting and great idea.

    I have been wearing it 2 1/2 days now.

    I have 2 size 2s.....and it is still a bit big, IMO.   I wish I would have gotten a 1 and a 2.  But I am 5'10" and a WHOPPING post partum 150 lbs right now....and surely am not a size one mama! lol!  I can only do it well with at least one shoulder flip.  I have heard this from others, too.

    So maybe they will redo the sizing?

    I like the two pouch option better than pouch and support. 

    The whole thing is very nice for computer typing, especially.   The two shouldered really gets the wrap like feel for me.

    Anyone ever just tried to do 2 plain old fleece hotslings this way?

    Next generation suggestions:

    1.  Binding like a KKAFP (is that expensive....it that why hs doesn't do it?)

    2.  Cooler fabrics, prints, etc

    Great job, Kristy!

    I for one don't really like the binding because I think it cuts into DSs legs once he's got his legs out.  I much prefer the serging because it's softer. It would be a good idea to try it with two fleece pouches but it would be a lot bulkier than the SlingSet and the fleece would probably "stick" together some.

    As for SlingSet sizing, I agree it appears to be off a little.  I got a size 1 pouch and it hangs a little low on me even with a shoulder flip.  I am still working on getting more coordinated with the support band and that helps some but DS seems to fight me putting it on for some reason.  I only got one pouch and one support because I intended to use it mostly for hip carry but I'm finding I like it for tummy to tummy too so I'm debating another pouch.  I just wish I could get one smaller than a size 1.

    From the pictures you've posted Gretchen it looks like you've figured it all out!

    I also think the sizing is a little off but maybe it's just the amazing amount of stretch in the fabric that makes it FEEL bigger than it is? I am working on getting the support to coordinate with me (because it can't possibly be that I am the uncoordinated one wink, wink) so hopefully with enough practice and a cooperative baby, the whole shebang will be a whole lot of fun for the family!
