    anyone tried a rockin' baby sling?

    I like the one Angela has on her site, blue with stars. What is the shoulder style? How long is the fabric, just curious?
    Thanks,

    Oh Beth, I can run one right over to you! I'm performing a community "test" on them right now, they've been shipped to a few major babywearers to see what they think! I haven't sold any, so I just want to know what people honestly think.

    I can stop by this week. Also show you the AngelPacks I got in today. :)

    Me too!

    I've read terrible things about them tho.

    Actually, a mama that was selling hers on ebay told me not to bid - LOL.  I asked her so many questions about it, we became "friends".  She told me that she wouldn't feel right if I got it because she hated it!

    Its being considered for a co-op, but there has been a few negative things said, and a few positive things too.  I'm curious to see what Alison has to say, does she have one, probably!

    I would be really really curious to hear what you guys think.  The fabrics and embellishments are really cool, and there are some that would really fit the personality of some if my friends.  But they're new to babywearing, and I would hate to turn them off with a poor product.

    Yes [Y] Re: anyone tried a rockin' baby sling?

    I recently got this sling and I will be honest... I LOVE IT!!!!! I used it today and it was lightweight and comfy! That is surprising because it is reversible! I received this one... Orange Floral/Orange Stripe http://store.attachedtobaby.com/detail.aspx?id=45 and the fabric is totally awesome and great for the summer! I can't tell how good the fabric feels! It is totally soft and light! It will easily become one of my fave slings that I reach for! This sling is totally reversible with pockets on either side than you can velcro shut.

    Rockin Baby Slings -for some reason I can't understand get a bad rap! The complaints that I have read are that the tail is too long BUT if anyone has had an Oopa or like long tails then this sling wouldn't be a problem at all. BUT if that is a problem for some people they can always tuck the tail under baby's bottom, or in the cavity between baby and you.

    Another thing, the rings are plastic, I thought that these would take away from the sling or be cause the fabric to slide - I am not a big fan of nylon rings, BUT BOY was I WRONG!  The rings work great (no slippage) and the plasticness is barely noticable. I forget they are there and plastic once I have the sling on. All in all this is a great choice for a nice carrier! Thanks for reading.

    Ok Angela brought one over yesterday. It was very comfortable insideout. I wondering if that is why yours work cooper, because it is reversable. It also was not too long for me, I liked the length. The rings where metal, a little heavy but not bad. Cute prints, and the workmanship is good. I am just not sure about the shoulder. It reminds me of the Maya, and I am not a fan of the Maya.

    How long is the sling unthreaded? Is it one size fits all?

    Thanks,

    I like their designs a lot!  When I first started looking for slings (other than the OTSBH look) these were the only "cool" slings I could find on the internet.  The reversible orange floral print looks really nice.

    Sheryl this sling is one size fits all! Many buyers complain that the rockin baby is too long but I enjoy a long tail! MAkes me feel long and flowy-- I am not long and flowy but short and stumpy! LOL

    Re: anyone tried a rockin' baby sling?

    WOW a good baby carrier-- there are so many out there! Have you thought about a Mei Tai-- they are a very easy 2 shoulder carrier to use. A pouch and ring sling are a fab 1 shoulder carry choices. A couple brands of carriers that are great are Freehand mei tais, Kozy carriers(also, a MT), Hotslings (pouch tyle) and  Oopas or rockin baby or Zolos are a good choice-- a bit pricey but comfortable. If you wanted a Ring Sling ever bit as good as the higher price ones -there are the sleeping baby production slings that truly comfortable. Jan even has directions on how to sew and not sew your own carrier. If you are looking for a woven wrap (much like your stretchy yet sturdier- the  storchenwiege and didymos can not be topped in comfort!

    HTH -if you have anymore questions or need to know how to use these carriers  please let us know-- we love to help :)
