HotSlings Stretch Baby Sling/Wrap Review

I really enjoy baby-wearing, and was hoping that the Hotsling would work well with my son.  I was excited to see they were sold at Target, but they only carry the smaller sizes.  From the chart on Hotsling's website, it looked like I would need a 6.  I bought one, and found that it was really tight across my shoulder when my 8 month old was in it.  I traded a friend for a size 7, and found that was too loose for him.

I think the concept is great.  They're very sturdy, and the materials are gorgeous.  I have no idea how to do any carry besides a hip carry - it seems like if a baby wasn't sitting up in it, it wouldn't be really snug. 

Also, it seems like it works well for small - average size Moms.  Plus size Moms, it doesn't seem to adjust well for broader shoulders, or a longer distance to your hip.

I really wanted to like this, but it didn't seem to work well for us.  I had much better luck with a ring sling that I could adjust to the length I needed.
