If you were getting a ring sling or carrier purely for putting your newborn in to go from the car into school to pick up other LOs and then straight back to the car again, would you all still suggest the close carrier? I'm seriously unco-ordinated and it seems like a bit of wrapping and tying (although not as much as hugabub or similar).
I was thinking about getting the sakura bloom sling - thought it would be really quick to get on, get bub in and get out of again. I have an ergo that I will use when she's bigger, but want something quick and easy for the early months.
Sorry to hijack Elocin, but you've asked pretty much what I was going to ask ;-)
Sakura's are great Ring Slings, beautiful wide shoulder and great fabrics. Easy to on/off, and if bub is colicy/refluxy the upright tummy to tummy position is a godssend.
The advantage of a true RS is also it has a much longer useful time span than the Close Carrier, as you can do a hip or tummy carry with an older baby, and hip carries with toddler for as long as you can carry their weight. Having mt 2.5yo in the RS through the School car park is great compared to the little ones diving away from Mums.
