[...] of a woven wrap. In that post, I included a few pictures of my Storchenwiege, which has since been passed along to my friend Jane. I still believe in the value of wraps. If you are a committed babywearer and plan to wear one or [...]

Saving for your grandkids is sweet! My daughter has just outgrown the wearing stage, except for rare occasion and I miss it so much already.

I was just thinking about this over the weekend, looking at my pile of slings/wraps/carriers and knowing that I’ve had my last baby. A few I can still use, but most don’t work anymore with my big, wiggly guy (he’s a leaner, too). A couple I will gift and I’ll probably sell a few through the forums at The Babywearer, but I love your idea of keeping a few to save for use with grandchildren! That’s exactly the excuse I need to hang on to the ones to which I have a sentimental attachment. Thanks.

I read this yesterday and meant to leave a comment! Oh, I have several carriers that I am so attached to. I’ve never sold mine- oh wait- I admit I DID sell one on ebay- a rare Rockin Baby ring sling that Gwen Stefani had and made popular so I made some $$ on that one : ), not sure if I ever would sell again, but I do enjoy having them to loan out. There are a couple that I probably plan to save forever. And then I am certain I’ll pass on the rest when the time comes. (Thinking that Ivy is my last, I don’t want to think about that time just yet!)

That is so awesome that you were able to share the love with so many people. I have not thought all that much about I will do with mine when I am done. I am too far from being done. But I suppose I will definitely want to pass them on in one way or another.

I will probably sell the couple I didn’t use much — slings and my back didn’t like each other and my Maya Wrap went mostly unworn. I will keep one or two, if they have no Lycra in the material, or elastic or plastic buckles to “go bad”.

My mother gave me the green corduroy Snuggli in which I was carried in the 1970’s — the one with the metal clips at the shoulders (not the plastic). I had really round babies and this fit them better than most carriers available at the time. I will keep this one to use with other kids — grandchildren, nieces/nephews, etc. I loved that my mom kept it and was amazed at how similar it was to the current baby-friendly carriers (and unlike the 1980’s – 1990’s “sausage baby” carriers). It was special to carry my babies in something that once carried me.

I’ve given some to friends, and kept a few – just for sentimental reasons. Sniff.

I’ve had snugli (given away), a handmade padded ring sling (given away), a solerveil ring sling (a keeper), a new native pouch (given away), an ella roo mei hip (a keeper), an ergo (still holding out that my 2 yo might want to climb back in one day), and a snugli frame backpack (SOLD!).

My favorite probably was the solerveil – and it was a 2nd hand gift!
