Close Baby Carrier

[Kitt3n]

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.

Thanks Kitten

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.

No worries

Have you used a wrap before? I only ask because I honestly found the Close to be so much easier in the early days, before I learnt how to wrap properly. The HAB was such a PITA to me back then, I found it so very frustrating. Now I can swing baby up on my back no worries, but at the beginning it was a very diff story!!
