baby carriers/slings

[Ozziehoffy]

I have a hug a bub which I used quite a bit when Oskar was younger... he wouldn't sleep during the day unless I was holding him and it was great for that as I was completely hands free because of the way it "ties" your baby to you. I had a similar holder to the baby bjorn but found it very painful. I have just bought a baba sling (haven't received it yet) as the Hug a bub just isn't so practical for me now... such as at the shops and he wants me to carry him - he's too heavy for that but he wants to be up and down so a sling is faster and more convenient now.

I am with Tanya the BB hurt my back. I have a HAB and love it. I find DS goes off to sleep in easily and seems really comfortable. I find it easy to put on and it only took one go to get the hang of it.

Do you know anybody who owns either so you can try them on and see how they feel?
