This is truely off topic, haha First, how old is to old to be carrying your child? My child is 1 1/2 and I was looking for a sling that goes over the shoulder and she could sit in it. Very simple, kinda like just material draped over your shoulder. Anyone know of one or where to get it? She likes to be held and the carts at the store rip at her legs, they are usually metal when we go shopping. Thanks! Nellie
baby holder I requested one of these as a baby gift for my first child and loved it! I especially used it when they were infants at Sams Club stores and places where I really wanted them to sleep. They can be used with older children as a sling for them to sit in. As for the age - Hold Her- you like it, she likes it - so as long as she doesn't break your back enjoy holding her. My youngest if 4 1/2 and I still pick her up to get her on my level to talk sometimes. The sling is called the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder. Mine was $40.00 which is why I put it on my baby shower list! But - you can find them on Ebay. I just checked and there are lots to choose from. You could also use it just to drape on the cart at the grocery store so she doesn't hurt herself or suck on the bar if you need to put her down awhile. Hope this helps! Sabrina
I carried my little one(s) around in a sling well into their third year! They are wonderful and so much easier on your back. There are a few companies that make them. Target sells the Nojo, I think Walmart carries one and La Leche League can point you in the right direction locally if you can't find one. Most big baby departments have a sling of some sort. There are even patterns to make your own if you are handy with a sewing machinge. Good luck. Tammy

The more babies the better! It's so funny, I brought that up from the dark! But forgot it was on here! I love the whole baby carrying thing I would carry my older two kids if I could. LOL
I do too. Have you looked into a Mei Tai? They are the most comfortable carriers I have. Here are some links to some. You can also purchase them off ebay. There are several makers. http://www.babyhawk.com/ http://www.kozycarrier.homestead.com/ http://www.meitaibaby.com/
LOVE my mai teis. I had never had one until the twins and I had to get creative about the baby wearing thing. I used to wear one on my front and one on my back. They are seriously the most comfortable carrier in the world. (I also wore them both on front when they were really little. . .or both on the sides kind of.) HTH
I have a maya wrap type of a sling and it could easily carry my 4 year old should i ever be so inclined. LOL
I don't use a sling but my 10yo dd, who is my "baby" still loves for me to carry her around the house, and I love carrying her! It's hard when she's tired and wants me to carry her upstairs, but I use it as my weight-bearing exercise for the day! I loved being carried when I was little too. I still remember when I was about 6 or 7, I was asking my dad to carry me out of church, cuz I was tired. He told me, "You're too big for that now" and never carried me around again! I was so sad about that! So now, with my dd, I figure they grow up so fast, so carrying her around awhile longer will be special, as opposed to a problem!!!
