I bought my Baba Sling from ebay for $50 (I think they are about $100 new) and have used it with my son from newborn through to 8 months old now.  The sling shows no sign at all of any wear and tear.  It is very easy to clean - just wipe off minor spills and stick it the wash every now and then.  My son now sits in the hip position which is still very comfortable, keeps my hands free and allows him to look around which he loves.  It is a very versatile sling, is fully adjustable and can be used in several different positions depending on personal preference and size of the child.  I use it all the time both out and about in the shops and at home when vacuuming, hanging out washing etc as my son likes to be held.  I also use the Baba sling when going for a walk as our driveway and road is rough gravel, a bit too rough on our pram.  In fact I have hardly used our pram at all as he prefers to be in the sling.  The sling is very lightweight and easy to just chuck in the car or nappy bag when going out.  It would probably be best if the sling is used by the same person most of the time as it could be annoying to have to readjust it from person to person.

I was given this by a kind lady who had used it on two children, hence I've given it 10 for durability - it still looks brand new!



This sling is easy to use, comfortable and washes extremely well. I recommend it to everyone I meet!



The only thing I can see becoming a problem is putting a child on your hip without someone to help - I just don't know how I'll go about it.

Awesome sling, iv only used it on 1yr old and 2year old so far, but both have loved it! im 7months pregnant and can still comfortably put it on and wear Mr2.5years in it on my hip... highly highly recommended!

I bought my bubba sling off ebay when bub was around 6wks old - and used it every day until I didn't feel comfortable carrying her any more (about seven or eight months)



I found the bubba sling to be great for quick trips into the shop, as well as holding bub around the house when things needed to be done - I became quite adept at peeling potatos around a sleeping bub in the early days!!



Bubba slings seem to have a good resale value (I have two, both bought off ebay), but even the new price is relatively cheap - under $100!



They are easy to wash, just throw in the washing machine, and I didn't even have problems when it got accidentaly shoved through the dryer as well!!



I definitely recommend the bubba sling to everyone who asks me about it!!
