I love my Close Baby Carrier

[FabFiona]

I just had to share - this has made me so happy.

I call my Close Baby Carrier my hands free kit. At 6 weeks Mitchell is currently not resettling well during his day sleeps - you could time his 40 minute sleep cycles by the clock. So putting him in the carrier means that he gets lots of sleep which means he has energy to have a good feed rather than constant snacking which leads to lots of short sleeps.

Also, much less crying. Happy baby = happy mum.

I love the fact that it has straps across both shoulders rather than one which supports his weight very well. He seems completely comfy in there.

I'd recommend this to anyone.

Cheers,
Fiona

i totally agree with you. i have both and much prefer the front carrier over the sling.
i didnt have one for well over 6 weeks after she was born, then i finally got one and it truelly is a life saver

our close carrier was life saver in the early weeks too!
we still use it almost daily now, she still loves it! i still love it too, she's almost doubled her weight but when she's in her sling she doesnt feel heavy at all.
Great for those quick trips to the shops

Love mine too & I think I sold the lady in the shoe shop on buying one today!

I just did a search of this carrier and they look good. I get very sore shoulders & back, so this looks like it will be good for me. Do you just buy them online? Any recommendations on best place to get one from? Thanks.

I tryed to use mine for first time today was comfy but not 100% sure if bubs was in it right.

Any special tips for using it??

Berry1 i bought mine on line in a closing down sale.

The only tip I have is that it can get warm in very hot wearhet. I put a small towel or wrap on my chest to stop us both getting very sticky. That being said, this was in Darwin with 80% humidity.

I have a Hug a Bub (not the sling variety - the carrier one with a pocket on the front ) but am thinking about going to a close carrier as they look a bit easier to put on and wear?? Can someone please educate me on the other differences? I have to admit, I haven't looked much further yet that what I have mentioned...

[FabFiona]

I just had a quick look at the hug a bub website. From what I can see, the Close Baby Carrier is a 'pre-tied' version. So instead of tying it yourself the back is already joined and you just pop it on like a t-shirt. Then the rings at the side help tighten and loosen as needed. I bought a moby wrap that I had to tie myself, but found that a bit too hard. This one is great.
