The Ergo I ordered online to my house in UK. You can get them from Mumzworld here, or thres a stand at the Baby Bazaar that also has them, but I wanted a specific colour (so that my hubby would wear it too!) so I ordered online. Same for the Babasling, I had seen a friend's and a wanted a specific colour so ordered online to UK. Boba wrap I got from Baby Bazaar (same stand as above) and it was 180 dhs. ETA: the Baby Bazaar stand will also help show you how to put them on, and best ways to hold baby in them etc as I had no clue. There is also a baby wearing group/meetup which the lady gave me details of as she said it's a great way to try different ones and get people's opinions. I can try and find the card if it's helpful. <em>edited by BellaUK on 23/02/2014</em>

Baby isn't here yet so I have not tried any of them but I have bought the boba wrap and the babasling for when she is small, and then the Ergo baby for when she is bigger (as well as the infant insert in case I prefer it when she is small). Ergo is expensive but I have heard lots of great things about it so don't mind spending it. The other two were no more than 200 dhs each.

It depends on age I honestly find. The younger they are ( less than six months) I preferred, slings or wraps. I actually did try everything. I finally found the one: the Boba carrier. It's fantastic. My DD is 2.3years now and we still use it. It is up to 20 kg I think. Very easy to use. You can hook it by yourself ( very important). Very practical when traveling. Doesn't make you feel the extra weight you are carrying. I like it. Have a look. The more you look at the different options available ( and try them) the more you will know what works best for you. <em>edited by gaijind on 23/02/2014</em>
