The Sleepywrap Success
It’s time to retire our ring sling and get a carrier that will let us continue wearing Kyan without wearing our backs out. Yesterday, we were off to another Koaladventure to Forest Hills Chase Shopping Centre – perfect for testing the newly-delivered Sleepywrap.
So with our Koala Princess bundled in the wrap, Ken and I took 4-hour turns.
We bowled,
ate yummy food,
played arcade games,
and most importantly (for me!), we shopped!
At day’s end, I was amazed with all that we were able to do. Even better was the absence of the aches (lower back for me, upper back for hubby) and exhaustion we got from our old sling!
Here are our observations:
Cons:
1. Because the fabric is sooooo long, tying it up with the ends not skimming the floor is impossible.
2. Putting bub inside the folds is a little unwieldy, but I’m thinking practice will make it easier.
3. It looks snazzy when wearing bub. But without her, we looked like we were in costume…
Pros:
1. Sleepywrap’s elasticity is just right to make Kyan comfortably snug.
2. It did not droop the whole time she was on me, I didn’t feel that she was going to slide down or pop out over the top.
3. It provided such excellent support that not once did I catch myself leaning back or stooping my shoulders.
4. And the best part: my hands and arms were totally free to browse and pay for my shopping goodies!
Since we always do everything together, the whole family gave their reviews as well. Here is what they say:
Ken: Forget pink. Real men wear their bubs. 
Riley: Cool! You look like ninjas! Or X-Men!
Baby Kyan: Zzzzzzzzz………… (Slept the entire time, except for meals!)
That’s a full family approval from us!
