Stores to Try Out Pouches and Slings in Chicagoland

[Kindra178]

Can anyone recommend any? Somehow, this decision is harder than strollers! Thanks.

Where are you exactly? There is a babywearing group on the north side, plus many of us have a nice collection of slings that you could play with!

A couple of our members here teach babywearing classes. There's one at Sweet Pea Studio and one at Bloom Yoga, I believe.

Northcenter/St. Ben's area. Is that an NPN group? I live near Bloom so I will check it out. Thanks.

City Slingers is a local babywearing group, sort of affiliated with Nine In Nine Out (NINO). Our next meeting is Tuesday at 11 in the Albany Park area. You can join our yahoo group for details.

And there will be a natural baby goods store opening up at Lincoln and Paulina sometime soon that will carry slings. I know the lease has been signed and the owner is investigating inventory. Can't wait to check it out!

And the next Sweet Pea babywearing workshop will be the first Sunday in March, from 1 - 2:30.
