Looking for a combo sling

[slingmom]

I've seen combo slings where they have the pouch and rings together and am considering one. I like the idea of both of my favorite slings in one. Now to decide which to get? Ones I am eyeing up are http://www.wisewomansling.wahmworld.com/ , www.thebabyspace.net , and http://www.carryingaway.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=20 . So the pros and cons and then you guys need to help guide me through the rest!!

Wise Woman: I like the flannel and the shoulder style but not the closed tail. It looks really simple to use!

Baby Space: Look really sleek and I like the extras and open tail, I also heard this was the first combo sling available? But the price is higher. :-(

Carrying Away: Great Great fabric and looks the same as Baby Space but extras are different. It looks really comfortable! Like the way it looks but its even more and in Australia (I think? thats where the site is from anyways)

They all have the pouch and rings and use aluminum rings so its really extras, price and fabric I guess... HELP!!! Anyone have reviews of these?

I own a Wise Woman sling .. and I LOVE it!
I'm a mother of 6, and I have owned many different carriers and slings. I love my Wise Woman Sling because it's very comfortable and easy to use. The closed tail makes it easier for me to adjust it. You can't beat her price and her high quality work.

In addition to her E-Bay feedback (her user name on E-Bay is wemoon34) you can also see reviews of her slings on a few other sites, like the babywearer.com http://www.thebabywearer.com/cgi-bin/reviews/reviews2.pl?folder=thenaturalway&category=Vendor_(North_America) and Mothering.com http://mothering.com/discussions/showthread.php?t=143230

I bought my sling from her directly at her site, but she has great deals on E-Bay too. I love her new fancy brocade slings.

Thankyou for the feedback. I'm still undecided, because I'm kinda leaning towards an open tail for nursing and sun block. I'm hoping people who have tried or know about the other 2 slings will chime in as well, they all look so cozy!

Why don't you e-mail the gal who makes the Wise Woman slings? I bet she could custom make you one with an open tail. I asked her for a certain color and type of fabric when I bought my sling from her and she got the perfect fabric for for me.

Thankyou for your help. Sorry I took so long to get back. I ended up ordering a Baby Space sling. I decided I wanted the pocket and toy loop too so I went for it and think I'll really like it. I'm thinking about emailing her to see if she'll do a flannel though, but then again I could leave it and it would give me an excuse to buy another one. :-)
