Has anyone used one of these and where did you find a cheap one?

My husband and I are obsessed with the idea and everyone says that they are so light to have around you. I am just wondering what everyones experience with baby slings have been?

Here's a picture of the one that I want.

I had a snugli, a sling, a back pack, and a hip hammock. Snugli is great for small infants. I could never get my sling to work right. I think I am too small or something. I love the hip hammock now. Its great. Backpack is great for long mountain hikes.

Hey, I just ordered a Maya Wrap ring sling from parentingbynature.com and should get it on Monday...can't wait!!! Its basicaly the same as yours (beautiful by the way I checked out the link!!!) It will be great if you spend alot of time outdoors. The "tail" can be used for nursing and providing shade from the sun and warmth from the wind!
I got a snugli as a shower gift and my little guy loved it. Only problem was that I couldn't seem to get it close enough to my body so he just kind of dangled there and I didn't have the use of both my hands which kind of defeats the purpose!
I will let you know my thoughts when I get it on Monday!
