I am a mom of a 15 month old and due with our second child in 10 weeks. I keep thinking that a baby sling would be a good idea as I need to have my hands free for my son as much as possible he is a very busy boy!. I like the types the idea of the "wrap/hammock" style slings vrs the ones that are like a little front backpack but ive never used one so what do I really know. I'm a stay at home mom and my husband works construction so cost is an issue and something that my grandmother could make on her sewing machine(that would be SAFE) would be terrific!!!
Thanks ladies(and guys) you're great as always

Seven Slings looked good, about $12 in cost. I have a similar one,a Slingling pouch and LOVE IT. Again, these are under $20. AVOID the front carriers like Baby Bjorn, these are 'crotch-danglers' and harm baby's hip and spine. Also, avoid tube slings like the Infantano that caused so many problems :( Basically, attachedtobaby website sells only quality safe slings. Front carriers like Ergo are safe, but cost more. Baby sits in a 'pouch' in these, instead of on the crotch like with the cheap Baby Bjorn carrier you find in stores. Mine is still in his pouch at age 14 months, also we use a ring-style sling. Maya Wraps are easy to make, but fabric is costly and you MUST buy special rings online from REPUTABLE dealers. I have one from the attachdtobaby, and love the adjustability. Both hubby and I can use this sling (I bought one in brown, safe for boy or girl or grandpa or grandma!)

Baby carries in hot weather...?

I want a nice baby carrier (not a backpack style...more of a wrap or mei tai style) that is not hot. I live in Central Florida and I don't want my baby to roast but I want him in a carrier.
Answer
If you like wraps, similar to the moby wrap, you can use crinkly gauze material in the hot weather. Simply buy 5 or 6 yards of the fabric and cut it in half lenghtwise so that it is about 20" wide. Ta da! Two wraps! It's much cheaper than buying.
