So lets compare our carrier stash across borders

[Danca]

Ok I'll start as a humble representative of Denmark.

I'm only going to list my own wraps and slings, not the ones I have for sale right now.

Inka 3,70
Ellaroo Maia 5 m
Blaue Blätter 5,20
Froggygarden solarveil ringsling
Sachi black toile ringsling

Have had more but have sold them to start a new perfect and improved stash....

[Helena]

I´m not so good att getting rid of wraps, I use them too much, and then I can´t get so much for them anyhow if I sell them. And I want to keep them, in case I get another baby some day.

I have:
Didymos 4,7 m
Easycare 4,2 m
Ella Roo 5 m
Sakara (a finish type of ABC)
Sutemi
Maya wrap pouch
Two slings
Bära barn (a short wrap, 2,75 I think, designed in Sweden, but not so nice as Didymos, Storchenwiege and the rest)

[Ezereht]

I'm from Sweden. I used to have a BabyBundler stretch-type-wrap when my baby was an infant.
When he was 6kg I sold it and bought my Storchenwiege 4.6 Inka, which I really love and still use.
I also made a sling from a 2.5m Girasol in green and blue color.

[Josie]

I'm in the UK

I have
Ulli Storchewiege 4.6
Inka Storchenwiege 4.6
Katja Didymos 4.7
(and the Didy mother and child Coat too! )

Ezereht, I'd love to see a bigger picture of your avatar, your Inka looks beautiful on you! Do you think the Inka is particulary popular in Sweden over other Storchenwieges? I think I have seen it here quite a bit. Perhaps it just really *pops* (looks really zingy) with all that snow as a backdrop!?!

[Danca]

Arghhh.Still waiting for mine and it's getting so darn cold here.... hopeto get a mail this week saying it's ready to ship.

[Josie]

I bet it will arrive soon, they're great on customer service at Didymos.

You are going to LOVE it when it arrives I'm so sure. I am enjoying mine.

Don't forget to swing it behind you to pop it over your DC's head, and then arrange over your shoulders and put your arms in yourself afterwards. I got this tip from seeing a clip of someone putting on the Aiska poncho - it really works well with the Didy coat too.
As for taking it off, unzip the front of the coat, take your arms out, and rather un-elegantly pull it forwards over your head. You can button the edges of the insert panel to the back neck placket (before putting on) to reduce the gap around your childs neck/shoulders in back carry too.
