peachesncream : Yeah DH & I don't like SSCs. DH upon seeing an Ergo in a second hand store "What is THAT??" I just don't like the buckles against my back. The Lillebaby is the only one I've considered but my meh dai works well enough. Yogurt : Hello! I have a March 2017 baby. I enjoyed having a March baby, the summer time is such a fun time for them! The nursing is a huge part of why I want one. DD nursed constantly during church and I just can't manage it easily in the woven wrap or meh dai.

On the topic of babywearing: I have a woven wrap, toddler wrap-conversion SSC, LilleBaby SSC (that is currently lost ☹ ), and DIY ring sling. I’m looking at getting a nice Ring Sling and infant SSC or wrap-conversion SSC before baby arrives. I love being able to be hands free when baby needs to be held or at the store/out and about.
I’ve started looking at RS’s already because I have no clue what I want. I want a cute print/colorway but I don’t want it to be too girly since DH wants to wear some too this time. He would like something in the black/gray/red spectrum. I may just end up with one for him and one for me. Lol
Idk what I’ll end up with as far as an infant SSC/wrap-conversion SSC. I LOVE my toddler wrap-conversion. It’s a Lenny Lamb Chocolate Lace; so soft and floppy and amazing. I’m torn between a new Lillebaby and a Lenny Lamb or Didymos WC. WC’s are just so pretty and soft. I don’t like the stiff feeling of new Lillebaby’s and they take forget to break in. ☹
I am not a Tula or Ergo fan. LilleBaby is a better option and more versatile for the price.
Feel free to spam me with your favorite colorways/patterns. I need inspiration. I am trying to stay away from rainbows because my woven wrap is a Girasol Light Rainbow.

blackcat I love my Lillebaby to use as an infant SSC, no messing with inserts! For wrap conversions though is there anything that speaks to your hobbies or profession? I am a science nerd so I have a beakers Tula and an astronomy Tula FTG, then I also love music so I have a Natibaby Notes wrap.

peachesncream, I don't really have any hobbies (other than keeping everyone alive). Maybe I'll look at DH's hobbies.

I would assume you like colorful from the fact your other WC is a Gira. Check out Natibaby, I tend to love a lot of their patterns. Are you picky on fabric blend at all?

peachesncream, I'm not too picky on fabric blend but try to stay away from wool blends- it gets HOT here.

blackcat: I started reading and was like "rainbow!" then saw that you already have one... I don't have a rainbow wrap so I'm looking at a rainbow RS.

@kore, There are some really beautiful rainbow wraps/RS out there! I love my Girasol Diamond Weave Light Rainbow. I can't wait to use it again.
