probably because the ''mainstream'' ones are available nationally or even internationally. A reveiw on 'real' ones would help mums to be decide on which type to go for in a general reveiw if you know what I mean!!

Im well aware of that but some people don't do internet shopping they like to 'road test' something like a sling before buying there are so many independant sellers struggling to get real slings on the market, we're lucky where I live to have some excellent independant shops stocking slings mai tais all sorts and im and addicted internet shopper, others not so much!!

I know what you mean thats what I meant by saying they should do a road test of types not brands!! they'll get out there I think they are becoming more and more popular!! which is great, we've got a waterproof one to carry my LO in the pool with  on holiday in two weeks can't wait!!

Editors get another reveiw underway!! Ill volunteer (as long as its soon my little chunk will be too big for me to carry on a sling soon!! lol)

It would be great to see a review of the non-mainstream slings which are usually alot better designed for both baby/child and person carrying! With a non-mainstream carrier you'll be able to carry your little one for a few years yet! My son is 17months old and i still carry him almost daily with a Connecta and a Napsack Mei Tai and there are people who are happily carrying their 3 year olds!

 The waterproof sling sounds great!!
