The minimonkey is a pouch sling, which can be tricky to get right with a newborn. Check out the TICKS guidelines for safe baby wearing. If it feels or looks wrong, it probably is. Some people find they work well, but many find they are better for quick hip carries for older babies and toddlers.

The ryco is a front pack, not really recommended for comfort for either baby or mum.

If you're interested in trying out some different options, there are regular meets around in Perth via the Perth Babywearers FB group. All are welcome.
