    Thanks Kitten. After I posted I went straight to youtube and found the demo. I'm in love!! Looks so easy to use. I'm definitely considering a purchase!!!!!!!

    After talking with Rufalina the other day and checking out You Tube I jumped online and bought one! Yay for my first baby wearer Kitten I believe you were instrumental on Rufi's conversion too

    I've been tossing up between a HAB and CC for Phoenix's first few months, and the fact that the CC is less fiddly convinced me as DH will be more likely to use it too.

    Can't wait for it to arrive...

    Definitely a great carrier for newborns. I used mine to death when Eden was younger. Have now moved on to other carriers since she is much bigger

    But sooo easy to get on and off.

    yeah it is pretty awesome, I really wonder if I would have carried on with baby wearing if it wasnt for the Close Carrier. I actually have two (both of which are out on loan at the moment), will certainly keep one for hubby (yes, he could work it too, but he prefers his beetlebum, which isnt for newborns) ......... now that I wrap I am not sure if I will use it as much, but what a saviour it was before I knew how to wrap!!!!!!!!!!!

    Is there any difference between the close baby carrier and the sleepy wrap?
    They look very similar to me but the sleepy wrap is winning slightly with me at the moment as you don't have to add the cumberband bit over on that one whereas you do on the closer one.

    They are completely different to put on, but both hold bub in a very similar fashion.

    Check out youtube for videos on both - you will see what I mean

    I love my Close Parent Carrier! I only just realised though that you distribute the weight better if you extend the straps over your shoulders duh! Now I can carry for hours with no problem as DS gets bigger (now 7kilos) I also love that it is easily adjusted between DH and my sizes if we decide to take turns carrying. The structured ones are not so easily adjustable.

    I have seen the videos, i think i am still leaning more to the sleepy wrap and i think that reason is that it is one piece rather than two.
