Baby Wearing with Slings and Wraps

I am a baby wearing mama. I bought my first sling from Didymos, which was basically some sort of long cloth (I got one that was almost 4 meters long as my husband is tall and we wanted him to be able to carry the baby, too) with a special durable weave that secures the baby onto you with a knotting technique. I've also gotten a Maya Wrap, which uses a double ring to secure the baby snugly onto you.

Unfortunately, I haven't really mastered the art of such slings. Maybe it's me, or maybe I gave up too soon, before I really get the hang of it, but I've always felt awkward wearing my baby with a sling, and it felt too cumbersome. I found that I had to constantly adjust the tightness, or check on my baby while on the go. Fortunately, I've found another baby carrier alternatives that worked for me.
