I *think* the Hotsling sits down a little lower, not up so high, and not so high under your armpit?? The feet end of your Hotsling seems to sit more across your ribs,under your breast, not across your breast?
Yep, Peanut and Hotsling are sized to your body, but the charts are on the net....
Ok, just as I decide a Hotsling is just perfect for me, I go and find a Bubazilla!!!!
It looks just as good!! And seems to have a "deeper" pouch, and looks safer...A little more $$$, but at $89, still a good price...
Its all so confusing!!! We dont have any big baby outlets up here, just the usual chain stores that dont tend to sell "good" carriers, so Ill be buying blind over the net...
But I've narrowed it down to Hotsling or Bubazilla.... (bubazilla have it in dark purple... uummm?!)
I just got a sling for my DD - it's a slingling. They are a little tricky to size, I found. I ordered mine according to the chart the website gave, but it was still too big. Thankfully I could shrink it in the wash. Comfy Joey also makes beautiful slings. (google.) The hotslings website has a sizing chart that is apparently not so great - go down a size or two is the advice I've heard.
Anyways, all that aside, I LOVE my sling. I also have a moby wrap, which I love. Different uses - wrap is great for keeping a newborn cozy, (she'd sleep INSTANTLY and I could wear her for ages without getting sore or tired) and for longer term wearing. The sling is wonderful for a quick carry, especially now that she can go on my hip. Very quick and easy and comfy, although not great for long carrying.
theslingdirectory has a list of hundreds of different carriers with reviews and price ranges. (all one word, the usual beginning and end. )
