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
