I watched a youtube tutorial on both after I posted. The CC looks more straight forward to me, or it could have been just a good tutorial vs a bad one
Leckert - I liked the quick fastening with the rings with the CC, that put it in front of the HAB for me.
Feeb - Thanks for the info!
MadB - I'm around a size 12-14, wide around the hips and went up to a D cup when b/f DD so assume I'll be around the same with this baby. I got given a ring sling when DD was born and the weight wasn't right for my back, too one sided.
wysiwyg - Thanks for the info re the hips. I saw that post on FB today which prompted me to go searching to try and make a decision! If it's fine with the hips then I'll get one prior to the birth and practice with a cabbage patch doll or something
HotI - I'll check yours out when I see you next. Thanks for the loan offer, but I think I prefer to get my own. With moving to mum's comes barbed wire fencing and I can just see me backing into one of the fences and popping a hole into the fabric if I was to borrow one!
I like the idea of the quick to put on. The HAB in the tutorial looked confusing, which I'm sure I'd get used to, but if I was distracted by DD, then I can see myself getting frustrated with it. CC it is
We have no off street parking and DS1 was not walking when DS2 was born so I would use CC to put DS2 in just to get to and from car so I could carry DS1 as well (started walking when DS2 was 3 months old)
Was easy to chuck over head and put him in, if I wasnt going a long way I wouldn't even bother taking it off as was not bulky under seatbelt (off course DS2 was in his car seat and not in sling)
Oooh I wondered about that feeb! When I was watching the tutorial, I wondered if I could put it on at home and then drive to wherever I was going, and just pop baby in when I got there instead of mucking around once there. Cheers!
