i've never done shbc, only dh and ruck

some recommend shbc to start as you can tie before doing back passees. seems like it might be uncomfy to me

I found Santa toss easier for small bubs, then hip.scoot for when they are older but it is highly individual.

Beauty, thanks AP.

Do you prefer DH or ruck - or is it more about where you're going/how long/what's quicker etc...?

I didn't like the chest belt with SHBC. Ruck was good to learn first so I could practice getting a good seat. DD would lose patience with the secondpass if I took too long to get a seat. I mostly DH as I find it so comfy. Head support has never been an issue as long as I have her high enough that she can rest her head on the back of my neck. ETA - and make sure the top rail is snug.

it depends on the length of the wrap. shorter ruck and longer DH. but i also prefer something thinner and slippier in a dh and thicker (relatively) and grippier in a ruck.
There are some great all-rounders, though, which I can do either with in a size 4. My karma is perfect for this, for eg.
DH is more comfortable, generally, though, again, it depends on the wrap. the dh is generally more supportive.

Thanks guys. We tried the DH at home this morning and, while she hated the wrapping, she loved the end result! So much more relaxed than in a front carry. We had a great time strolling around the house in our pjs, checking out pictures and stuff

You were right about the DH being comfy. I need to work on getting the top rail tighter though, she felt a little low to me. Also might try tying above the bust rather than around waist. I guess practice makes perfect.

I'm quite excited!
