    I'd heard that stretchy wraps like hug-a-bub were not as supportive as woven once baby gets bigger. Have you guys compared your HABs to other carriers and found them equally good?
    Also, with bigger babies can you still tie it on first, then put baby in? Or do you position baby and then wrap?

    I'd suggest either the pikkolo or the baby hawk. THe babyhawk is quite high in the back - nearly everything is in comparison to the ergo, which is quite short in the body.

    I have a kleinsmekker mei tai, which is absolutely fabbo.. but hard to get hold of. and uber expensive!!!!

    I also have a beco butterfly II which is great, and sooo easy to put them on your back. and the back is quite supportive as well for younger ones.

    I have a wrap too that I'm still learning how to put on.. LOL

    I haven't tried any other wraps so I can't make a comparison with anything else on the market. I have found that as bubs got bigger I have tied it a bit tighter around me to support her weight, this has not made it uncomfortable at all. She is on the smaller side so not a little heffa of a baby!! With the hug-a-bub always tie on first then put in baby. They have a website which gives you step by step instructions for tying, I think it has video?? not sure as I haven't been on it for a long time.
