The cheapest you could go for is a moby wrap?

Hi, (dont mean to be rude, but) if money is a bit tight I wouldn't recomend a moby. I had one when Scarlett was tiny and although it was fantasticly snuggly, i stopped using it at about 4 months I think, I know they say its suitable for toddlers, but as its stretchy, I'm not sure how long it would last, I know some mums love them, but I've heard it mentioned that they can loose their stretch and go a big saggy. Woven wraps do cost quite a lot, but they do last for much much longer and you can sell them on afterwards for almost as much.
Did you especially want a wrap, I love my ring slings, they're so easy to use and are much cheaper, although I know a few mums who dont like them. Have you got a sling meet group anywhere, or a la leche or do you know anyone who might let you try one for a few days, then you can decide which is best for you and might save you money in the long run?

Yeah I have a stretchy wrap which I love but now little man is bigger it just stretches too much and he sags whilst i'm wearing him which gives me really bad back ache. Would love a woven wrap but can't really afford one at the mo. I also have a mei tai which I made myself, love that too but again get a bad back with a front carry and haven't quite worked out how to get him on my back yet! Have tried a couple of times but he ends up lower than i'd like, will have to keep practising!

A ring sling is kind of like a baba sling, but it can be adjusted so you can carry a baby in different positions. Scarlett like being upright so I carried her tummy to tummy. Have alook on youtube for some ideas of what each type of sling is like. This is a bit of a long winded one, but this is how I carry Scarlett in a ring sling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOOp09IdlE8
If you're handy with a sewing machine, you could always have a go at making a ring sling for the price of 3 meters of fabric and a few £s for a COUPLE OF PROPER RINGS. http://www.sleepingbaby.net/jan/Baby/
Or I Know someone who's selling a cream wrap, I think its astretchy one for £25 plus P&P.
