I have a KKAFP, a Hotsling, and a Moby Wrap. The Moby definitely gets the most comments/questions. Makes me feel like a walking infomercial!!


DH, his parents, and my parents went to a baseball game a few weekends ago and I wore Anna in the Moby Wrap almost the whole time. It was nice because when we sat it gave her some wiggle room to play with toys, but it saved my arms because I didn't have to hold her back all the time. Anyway, I saw TWO people taking pictures of me from across the aisle!
: I'm horribly shy and lacking in the self confidence department, but this just made me laugh. I tried to pretend I didn't notice and I thought about slipping them a piece of paper with "mobywrap.com" written on it, but I chickened out.

Anyway, what sling draws the most attention in public for you?

People think the print on Freehand looks gorgeous, but I don't think they are very impressed with its babywearing abilities
A friend of mine even asked: "So, how is that different from a Bjorn"
People do turn their heads when I wear DS on my back in a FH.
The ones people like the most are my MamaKangaroo stretchy wraps. They are fascinated as to how it works (and they can see on the tag of the pocket where I bought it, making it easier for me :LOL )
My Ulli Storch got some "oohs" and "aahs" but only while I wore it. A couple of my friends found it too long and overwhelming.

Anything on my back gets more looks but it seems my Sari print Hotslings receives the most comments-almost all positive. I guess it IS a bright print so it catches attention.
I wear my mei tais the most and on the front I just get a few smiles but on my back I get pointing fingers, stares, and double takes :LOL

I would always get comments, no matter which type of pouch or sling that I wore, but my Chocolate Oopa gets the most. Probably because it is the most striking c looking with its long tail and the silk at the bottom

Everyone STARES at me (well, actually DS) when I go shopping and put him in my Ergo. I do a backpack carry at the grocery store. I feel a little self-conscious! Part of it is that DS (7.5 months) also makes a game of trying to get everyone to notice him and smile at him. He'll stare and make noises until someone looks and then he laughs.

Depends on where I am. In the midwest, I get the most comments on my Pea in the Pod pouch. In the East, definitely a wrap.


But I seem to get comments in them fairly often no matter where I am. But definitely moerso in the Midwest.

All of my carriers draw attention to me.People think its cute to wear him and really ooohh and ahhh when hes asleep all snuggled up to my chest as I walk through the store and shop.I think the carrier that gets the most people walking up to me to ask me about it is my Freehand Mei Tai.Its a goregous red silk brocade with chinese lettering on it.I had a funny thing happen though at Whole Foods a couple weeks ago.I was in the produce section and as I was picking oranges this chinese lady was right by me well from the look on her face I have to wonder if the chinese writing was offensive! :LOL I don't know what it says but now I am wondering if it says something obscene on it! :LOL

I get a lot of comments to the effect of (now that dd is almost a year old), "I guess you're going to have to stop carrying her like that soon." But not so many comments on the carriers themselves.
:
I have to say, though, that every time I wear my silk Zolo I am shocked that nobody comments--it's SO beautiful! Maybe it's a NYC thing...you have to pretend nobody else exists unless you can't squeeze by them on the sidewalk
