Re: slings for kids
Wed, March 5, 2008 - 1:09 PMI haven't done it but I bet you could just size up a piece of fabric and sew the ends together so it makes a loop. It doesn't have to be near as sturdy as yours does. -

Sun, May 4, 2008 - 8:38 AMOh, and I saw two kid sized slings at a yard sale and with Anaya running around totally forgot to buy them! -

Re: unabashed self-promotion
Tue, May 6, 2008 - 1:51 PMI ordered a hot sling from our local boutique that was designed for kids use. I have also seen others make similar slings for their children by using their current sling as a model, changing the measurements, and making one for their child in a fabric their child has picked out. Kid mock mei tai's seem to popular here.

Re: unabashed self-promotion
Sun, May 4, 2008 - 5:02 AMi definitely need one in a colorful, stretchy cotton fabric since abigail's bubby just recently bought her a baby stroller and (gasp!) baby bottles, which were quickly hidden away for a neighbor's kids ... i need the balance of a carrier. i-dee, how much for a two year-old sized mei tai?
