Maya Wrap Baby Sling — 

The idea is great, but in my neck of the woods its around forty five to fifty dollars for this device. They work great, I have used one for all three of my kids, one of whom is now two and still loves it. My husband has even carried our four (almost five) year old around in it too, and it makes things much easier for us. But after the first go with a store bought version at fifty dollars a pop, I opted to try making my own. It cost me about fifteen dollars, and only that much because I used more expensive fabrics (one could do it with about eith to ten dollars worth of materials). It held up well, and I am still using it, two children and 5 years later.

Even if you had bought one for full price and then used it for all 3 of your children, it would still come out a much better value than other "traditional" carriers. And then consider the fact that you made your own for $15. That's $5 a child! I would call that a REALLY good deal.
