As many of you will already be aware I love Indios and the Scilla Indio here is no exception. I was really excited when a Mama ordered this Ocah conversion, a Capetown Hoppediz conversion with Scilla on the front of the carrier and sleep hood. But she had even greater plans for this yummy conversion and asked me if I would sew a Gecko applique onto the hood. I dont have a lot of experience of doing appliques and I knew using an Indio which frays a whole lot more than other wraps was going to make this one tricky, but it turned out well and I am really happy with it.
This Ocah conversion is a Toddler sized Hybrid Clipee with custom sized Duo straps and adjustable sleep hood.
I have been asked by a few mamas recently to shorten the padded area of the Duo straps and I have to say this works really well. I am sure it is more comfortable for the more petite Mamas but at 5ft 10" and not of a slim build I wouldn't class myself as Petite ! , but the short padded area works well for me too. Having padding over the shoulders makes the straps easier to wear than the wrap straps and the padding is comfortable too, but it is nice to have the wrap straight out of the shoulder area of the straps instead of further down under the arms. It is certainly something I would give some thought to if you are thinking of having Duo straps ;O)
