OK, ever heard of getting addicted to baby carrier shopping?? I must be in the right place to ask about this. I started with a ring sling, then a pouch (child #1) now for ds #2 Ihave a 2nd fashion fabric pouch, bought a mai tai, friend gave me an Ergo. I love them all and now think I need a podegi because I want to try the carry without anything tied on my shoulders/neck. I just need a reality check here before dh says I've gone over the edge and wants to stop my shopping binge.... Where could I get a used podegi or wrap? Maybe that would save me a few dollars...

I have 4 but 1 of them is a Snugli. I have a bECOpack and I just got a cute new PS. I am already trying to decide what to by next. Maybe a wrap?

I have 2 ring slings (actually 1 because I cut the rings out of the other one to make a new one and haven't done so yet), 3 meiteis (one is my "ooops I left the nice ones at home" one that I keep in the back of the car), 1 podegi, 1 blanketless meitei and a pouch.

Well I think my dp (and our bank account) might argue with you on that one!

Oh and I forgot my external frame backpack!

That puts me up to 9...

1 Moby wrap,
2 ring slings,
1 pouch (borrowed),
1 mei tai (current favorite),
1 back pack frame carrier.
(Dis)honorable mentions: Baby Bjorn.

Hmm. More than I thought but still pretty pitiful.

um, let's see...

2 pouches
1 homemade gauze wrap
1 gauze wrap
1 didymos
1 ergo
2 mei tais

dh has a pouch and a walking rock farms hip carrier

...and I'm sewing a new mei tai this weekend!

sadly, dh now has a "sling comes in, sling goes out" policy, so nothing else for us. (well, unless I find a REALLY good deal on fabrics )

I always feel like I have a lot, until I hang out TBW and realize I'm a comparative newby!

: Those ladies are busy! The for sale or trade board moves so fast. It seems like basically they are passing the same carriers around all the time. (I've dipped my toe in but I'm afraid to get caught up in it!)
