Ok...I'm putting my hand up here. I'm an incorrigible, incurable baby carrier addict.

At the moment I have a HAB and an Ergo. I love both of them for different reasons. The HAB is just so lovely and snuggly and supportive to wear with a newborn - although I have been using the newborn insert with the Ergo a fair bit. The Ergo is definately easier to put on when you're out and about, and easier (for me) for breastfeeding. I can wear the Ergo for longer periods of time. On the days that I go into town, I can be wearing Sammy around for 4-5 hours or so - on these occasions I find that the HAB stretches a bit too much and becomes less supportive over time. This is easy fixed by taking him out and re-tying it - but most of the time I couldn't be bothered.

I would LOVE a babyhawk after reading all your posts and looking it up on the 'net! They are sooooo pretty. I like your justification Nelle - I am planning to use it with DH! I never buy nice things for myself (too depressed to buy new clothes with the extra baby kilos!). Watch this space. Maybe next payday! The pouch slings look nice and easy to use too - though I'm not convinced they'd be as good for your back as some of the other options.
