Would a simple pouch-sling work ?

If I were to make up a simple pouch-style sling, would that work for around-the house use ?

My baby is 4 months old, 18 pounds. I also have a 2 year old to run after.

I usually use our ring-sling because I can tighten it up a lot in front, which I like, but that takes time, and the tail gets twisted and such. Would a puch be secure enough ?

Can I get a link to the Wise Woman sling site ? I don't understand what a hybrid pouch means.

I should add too - I basically mean, I need something I can wear while I do things like

- prep breakfast / lunch / dinner
- do dishes or load (countertop) dishwasher
- do laundry (hanging onto a clothesline)
- sweep / mop / vacuum

Okay - I checked out the link, but I don't see how it's any different than a normal ring-sling ??

Wouldn't the wrap or ABC take even longer to put on and arrange than my ring sling ?

I'm getting a Frankenkozy (sp?) from a local friend today to try out - we'll see how it goes.

Maybe I just wear my ring sling funny then - because I'm not seeing any difference other than the closed tail.
