Hug a Bub vs Close Carrier for newborn

[Beach Mama]

I made a HAB quite easily (and cheaply compared to the HAB) which is overpriced IMO for what it is. I really liked it but found it heavy once he was a bit older and a friend had a CC and it looked much easier to get on and off to me. Probably doesn't help at all but if you want to know how I made it just let me know! xox

Just updating, I got the CC and used it for the first time today.

I'm in luuuurrrve!!!!!

They are great, glad that you like it!! DD has been to the footy a few times in it - including the anzac day game when she was 3.5 weeks old & she slept right through everything

Oooh Sloane, how does DS go at the footy? DH is itching to go but I've been a bit hesitant.

Lol hijacking, but it's my own thread so I figure I'm allowed!!!

I can't believe that wearing the CC I end up with less back pain/fatigue than if I'm holding her.

dd is great at the footy - I've just ordered a new carrier because I found she was getting a bit heavy. Never had so many people want to look at a baby and ooh and ahh over her - older men have been fascinated by the cc and think it's great!! We don't take ds to games that clash with his sleep - he's enough of a handful without it being sleep time too. He needs space to move around and tbh I don't really watch as much of the game when he comes. But he does love the atmosphere and cheering. He was fine with the noise when he was little but at 20 ish months took a quarter to adjust to the noisr. He was so excited when he realised that therr were lots of people wearing the same top as him. The facilities aren't bad but are def easiest to get to on level 1. And at both the g and etihad there are tvs in the parents rooms so you can still watch the game!

Sweet, DD1 is 3 so I wondered how she'd go and knew your DS was a bit younger. Thanks Sloane

No worries! I remember when I pg I saw a 3ish year old sitting with his parents and he was watching a dvd on a portable dvd player...cue a 'no child of mine...' moment. In hindsight, it's not a bad idea at all! I think it depends alot on temperament too - ds is unlikely to evet sit still for too long. Last time we took him we stood for a quarter, sat the next and repeated in the second half!
