We have an Ergo that DP uses, I find it uncomfortable compared to wrapping. If you can cross the straps at the back, like the Manduca, I can see how that would be better. DP is keen to learn to wrap though, so I'll start him on the HAB at my first chance.
Epacris lent me a Girasol size 5 I think that got me started on the different wraps. I got an Ellevill Paisley (cotton/bamboo blend, soooo soft) in a six that is great for a kangaroo carry. I've only had it just over a week and I've been stopped and asked about it half a dozen times already. I'm waiting on a Zara to arrive.
For the wrappers in here, what's your pref for a shortie? Suse recommended a Storchenweige Leo and a particular Oscha. I need to stalk FB until one comes up.
Some of the WCs look so pretty, but I'd have to try some different types to be convinced for myself.
When i took DS for his newborn hearing test i was wearing him in a Close Carrier. I didn't have to take him out, the person was happy to attach the ear and head things while he was cuddled up on my chest. So nice!
I wouldn't mind a hugabub or another soft carrier or wrap so i could have one for home and one for out. the only thing with the close carrier i don't like is the dangly bits are too long, but not long enough to tie up.
yay!!
I plan on BWing when Spock gets here. I so far have a ring sling (also has big padded edges, dont know if that will get good or bad), wrap sling and a babybojrn (however it is spelt). just from me playing around the wrap is my fave, so see what happens when I use it for real =)
Great thread! So far I only have a Close Carrier that Buster just loves, I absolutely adore wearing him in it! Hate to think of him growing out of it Not sure what else to get, have lots of googling to do since reading all your responses!
