How hard are Hug-a-Bubs?

[lovemybubs]

So im looking for a sling, probably 2 actually as i love the hug a bub style and also like the bubba sling too.

The hug a bub looks so seriously hard to work out. Has anyone got one and then not been able to figure out how to use it properly? I just dont want to waste my money. Also, can fat ppl use them too?

It does look fiddly but honestly, once you do it a few times it's easy.

I have one that I used for DS and I used to tie it on before we left the house. That way I could just get him out of the car and pop him in. Because it's a soft, unstructured carrier you can drive etc. with it on just fine.

I don't use mine any more so I loan it to my mamas with newborns and they have all loved it. And they work with any sized mama I think they come in two sizes (one is longer) if you're worried.

I was all confused & couldn't get it right the first two times I used it, but then I went onto Youtube & watched a video of how to do it & that was it, I'm a pro now That said, the HAB comes with an instructional DVD which might help, I bought a Moby which only had illustrated written instructions.

They are easy peasy after a few practises.

I was lucky enough to get a demo IRL so didn't find it too tricky. I just felt a bit unco the first few goes.
The DVD that comes with it is a great help

They are really easy... Takes a couple of times to get it right though. I had it down pat in about a day.
Very worth learning... it is my fave carrier!
