Anyone use a sling???

[newchimomma]

Hey everyone ...

Maybe I'm a super SAP but I really want to carry Bosco around with me ALL DAY LONG ... no matter what I am doing. He's not a big fan of carriers but I really think he would curl up in a sling. Does anyone here use one? Am I as ridiculous as my husband claims for wanting one?

Here's one similar to what I am thinking of ... not SO sure of the cheetah print but the same general concept ... thoughts??

That is so cute Kat! I had one for Bianca, but she hated that as much as she hated being in a carrier. You may have better luck with Bosco.

Kat if you're a sap, I'M a sap- LOL! I want to do the same thing! I think I sling is a great idea!! I'm sure he'd love something like that- it might feel like a nice cozy den or something :D

hi i posted something like this earlier. i know Loki doesnt like bags that much either because there's so much space that he doesn't feel balanced or secure. i ordered this and sent to to my bf so he can send it to me (faster). he'll send it today so i should get it this week. i bought a fundle pet sling, denim with a skull on it. standard size so it holds pets 0-10lb. you can find a lot more designs on ebay. im hoping Loki likes it better cuz it's supposed to feel like a person is holding the pet or something. i'll write a review after i try it on loki

I would love to try one but i cant find any here!

You dont sound like a sap at all Kat! I wanna carry Nooshie around with me too (Gordy is a little Heavy for me - my boyfriend can carry him around).

Go for it! and lemme know, maybe i can order one from the states!

I have something similar. But not as flashy. Abby actually likes it. I guess 'cause she can kind of hide in there, and it's almost like being in a womb, I'd assume.

lol not even! or maybe we both are? lol I wanted one too! haha the one from the website looks like it would be comfy to wear and comfy to be in! lol good luck with Bosco best of wishes that he likes it!

YOur not a sap LOL I have a mamas boy too.... I would love to carry Crackers but hes a little rascal not sure if he would like it. Keep us posted.

Hey I was thinking- What about a baby sling? You could probably get a cheap one at WalMart and see if he likes it, and then splurge on a cuter doggie one if he likes riding around!

Here is one on ebay for only $32 ... I might try this one ...

I did see the Fundle one and it looks awesome but it's a little more expensive and I'd rather find out he won't stay in that sort of carrier on a much cheaper item ... and if he does stay, I would definitely get the Fundle ... I actually like that one with the skull!!

hey guys just an update of the petsling (fundle):
the standard size is a bit big for chihuahuas. if i wanna use it i have to put a towel so that loki can sit down and have his head sticking out at the same time. he doesnt seem to like not having something hard under him to support his weight. i hope he gets used to it. so im still on the quest for finding the perfect carrier. so far there's one but it's too small for him now so im gonna go find a bigger version of it and the other thing he loves is his stroller

Bought baby slings (Mine is a hotsling) used them shopping. It has two loops for baby binkys. I took a clip it (a tiny hook like for climbing that you buy at home improvement store) and attached booth loops (one is on each side) to harness rings. Now Ellery can not fall out if he sees a flying bug and tries to go for it. He loves it. It is like carrying but easier on my arm.

Jason bought an Infantino baby sling for charlie and we sewed in two loops.
