    I have borrowed a hug a bub from my bro, and just love it! The only difficulty is having to wear it continuously- or re-tie it standing next to the car before i get bub out. Does the close carrier have the same feel as the hug a bub? is it worth splashing out on one?

    IMHO the Close Carrier is much much better than the HAB - and there are some on super special on ebay at the moment (colours are not being stocked again apparently)

    they are around $70

    I had a friend give me a wrap-carrier that was based on the HAB I believe which DS & I really liked but it was a PITA to tie up when going to shops, getting in & our of car etc. Is the Close Carrier pre-done in the sense that you can put it on and just put bub in? Is that the main difference? I need to go and do some more research. I have a sling but would like an easy to use carrier for #2 as well.

    If I was buying new now I think I'd get a close carrier over my HAB. But I didn't find the HAB that hard or annoying last time so I'm thinking I'll just stick with it rather than get another. Shame to see something that looks even better though!

    Do the shoulder straps on the close carrier spread out over your shoulders like the HAB?
