Sling question

[devilgrrl]

Hey mummies, can anyone recommend me a sling? My sister wants one for the new baby, but she's afraid it'll hurt her back. She's 4'11" and about 95lbs not pregnant. She had a bad back from a childhood car accident. I'm pretty sure the backpack style ones are out for her. Can anyone give me good info, as I'd really like to buy her one.

In other words, I'm back from Vermont and exhausted. Trip details tomorrow.

personally a sling may not be the thing for her. I have a bad back and wearing my little babe makes me ache after a half hour. a mei tei would work better.

what is your price range?

I'm not too worried about price range, since I may end up going in on it with a couple people.

What exactly is a mei tei?

my bad. i always spell it wrong. mei tai.
