How many carriers do you have? - Page 2

post #21 of 31
So, I really don't consider myself a collecter either (at least not compared to a fair number of members of The Babywearer) -- with the exception of my two long German Woven Wraps, each of my carriers has a distinct use, and since we wear Naked Baby every single day, usually multiple times a day, having a lot of different carriers that feel slightly (or significantly) different on the body is good for us, and good for him. I could pare down, but 3 carriers -- a woven wrap, a mei tai, and a ring sling (and who knows, I may add a good SCC to that must-have list soon!) -- is really my minimum.

I think there are two ends of the spectrum, with of course alot of room in between. There are those who BW and are not interested so much in the latest and greatest and collecting carriers, but are just in love with the act of actually wearing their babies and appreciate the good carriers they have. Then there are those who love to wear their babies and really love new carriers and like collecting various ones. Kind of like purses or shoes.
Neither is right or wrong just different strokes for different folks. Of course this just my opinion.....

A new homemade mei tei (love love love!!)
A maya ring sling...hit or miss.
And a robozo, although I wouldn't really use this often, since I bought it for labour support, but it is there if I should choose.

Now, I need a baby (I'm a nanny currently).

I love my mei tei id I mention that?

I have an Ellaroo Wrap and a neat pouch I found at a thrift store. Other than that, I made all of my other carriers. I have a stretchy wrap for littles, a few MTs I made for different occasions, a water pouch and a couple slings. I'm thinking of taking my first DIY sling and DIY wrap apart and make a bag out of them. I don't use them (my sewing skills have evolved a little in the last 3 years) but I have this nostalgic connection with them.
