Just looking into options, seems like some of the carriers that are not for small babies , like some ring sling type wraps, are made with non breathable padding, like the beco gemini for example , poly something.. Does anyone else have major issues with these type of synthetic &what have you found? Is there something out there? Cotton, hemp, linen are good for me..not sure what else,..how to avoid hot sticky padding?

Edited on 10/18/12Can we make a list of breathable material carriers?
Coming back with my slowly but surely research. I found out the organic ergo has cotton padding , not polyester, and just foam in the shoulders&hips(i think). Maybe this is the only one out there with this kind of support that is breathable beside a wrap? Still plugging away, just happy to find something that looks do -able for those of us sensitive to those synthetics.Now it seems like I am noticing that when it says "organic", the padding is also, like organic boba. I thought there would be so few, now i will have to look into differences. Wish i had friends to try these on, are they really all so different? Guess i will have to start an organic thread.post #4 of 512/14/12 at 10:04amCan you look for a babywearing group in your area? A lot of them allow you to rent, or other mamas may let you try out their stuff.
If you would like all natural fibers, easiest route may be a woven wrap. I know Natibaby makes cotton/linen blends.
post #5 of 512/14/12 at 10:30amI wonder if a mei tai (in particular a wrap conversion with wrap straps) or a woven wrap might work for you. You can get a pretty even view of what is out there by joining and browsing the Facebook Babywearing Swap page. A lot of wraps and wrap conversions are investments, but many who buy used or even new end up eventually reselling for the purchase price.
I should say that I have a classic Ergo, and while I prefer my clothing in natural fibers, I never have had issues with the carrier feeling uncomfortable.Return HomeBack to Forum: Babywearing- Can we make a list of breathable material carriers?
