we spend alot of time at a pool and with summer coming ( hopefully soon!) i am interested in a carrier that is easy to use in the water with my youngest. I need my hands free to be able to grab my 4 yr old and 2 yr old! I currently have a lightwieght gauze wrap, a thicker fabric mei tie and a bjorn sport
thanks for the suggestions!

Maybe someone could correct me, but I believe carriers are not recommended in swimming situations bc of drowning risks. Maybe there is a safe one, but that's what I recall when I looked into it for DD2...

not going to go “swimming!“ but by then ethan will be 4 or 5 months old and he will be in the pool with us! i only stay in the shallow end with the little ones so its barely up to my waist. i am sure it will be ok! they do have water ones that dry quickly etc but i am not sure which will be best!

I know I looked into it when I had a spring baby. There was one called a aqua glove, or glove something that had amazing reviews. That was about 3 years ago and they were only available in the states at the time and were $80. I'll see if I can find my info on it.

you can get ring slings that are made of mesh so they dry quickly.

One lady at the pool last year just used a towel in a torso carry

Here is a water wrap. Some people also like mesh/solarveil ring slings for swimming/beach.

I have one, received it as a gift, it's not a wrap-style, more of a carrier. It's waterproof. I'll ask where she got it from.

I know Mrs. Crunchy made one for her middle son a couple of years ago. If you look her up on here I'm sure she could suggest a great material.
