    I don't like that kind of sling - I had one same sort, different brand. They're tricky to use safely in the cradle hold with a newborn. Those kinds are somewhat adjustable, but still need to be the right size to fit right, and you need to be very careful with positioning with newborns so you don't block airways (if the baby sort of bends over on themselves in a C shape). They can be handy when baby gets bigger and can sit on the hip. but still, an open-tailed ring sling can be easier to use as it's fully adjustable.

    The breeze baby is not very comfy for long carries because of the material. one with nicer, more supportive fabric would be heaps better.

    A friend let me borrow hers and my DD hated it. Screamed everytime she was in it.

    Hmmm..I have an ergo already which DS loves, but looking for other options, especially ones that are quick and easy for around the house and shorter trips - he's a heffalump, 3 and a bit months old and already 7.7kg so I have a feeling he's going to be a big boy Might have a look at a ring sling in a nicer fabric with a longer tail, he loves being in the kangaroo carry in the breeze baby though I'm yet to try a hip carry with it.

    wed & thursday generally best. If you can hike over here, I may be able to get my hands on some loaners including a ring sling or two...
