Hi Kitt3n,

I've got this and it's fantastic. I have a few slings and this is the fifth one and my baby loved it. He can cuddle me and sleep in it comfortably for hours. I had this two days before we went overseas and I walked around with him through out the holiday. One thing is I always have a weak back, it takes about 5 hours walking around then I can start feeling the weight (he was 6.5 kg at the time). Others slings I'll start feeling the pain after 1hr or two later. I really cannot recommend close baby carrier much more. I asked my hubby to get me another colour for my birthday in April too...
Hope this help.

Looks pretty cool to me, never seen one before.

Well, not long after i posted this i bit the bullet and bought one - it is so fantastic that I am now a consultant for them! (see link in sig )

I now have two. I simply cant be without it, if one is in the wash I now have another - its the fifth sling I have tried to and I only wish it was the first, I would have saved so much money!

I have one too I love it for short trips. Because Ash is so big however it's not good for longer ones, but I am working on that. I can not for the life of me get the outwards carry right, Ash tips forwards and almost falls out!! Am gonna keep trying it though. I wish I had one when he was a NB!

missymoo have you tried him in the back position? might work better at his age

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 loved my Close Carrier, it was so easy to use

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.
