Hab and cc are similar. The only real difference is the the cc is partly pre-tied - the cross over bits are done and attached to rings so the tails of the carrier are able to be pulled for tightening purposes AND it's quick to put on. The hab is really just a strip of stretchy material that you wrap around.

I used a cc with ds and will be with the next one - soooooo comfy and easy to wear.

Can't answer about the brace as ds didn't need it.
