Okay thanks, do you find it quick to put on? the thing with the HAB is that it takes me so long to put on that by the time i've got it perfect, he is too distressed to relax in to it.
I am in WA... do you know anyone here with one? I'm loathe to shell out for it only to find he doesn't like it because he is our last baby so i won't be passing it down.
Also with the HAB, i never wore my first son outwards, do you tie it the same way but just put them in front out?
And how is the pikolo different?? it seems to have buckles instead of tying up??
With the HAB, I know many people tie it on loosely, then grab bub, pop them in and just tighten it. For example, if you're wanting to use it at the shops, put it on and wear it in the car, so it's ready to go when you get there.
Nope, don't know anyone with carriers in WA (off the top of my head) - I'd definitely recommend you join BabyCarriersDownunder, they are like babywearing geniuses, and you could use their carrier library to try a BabyHawk or Pikkolo.
I bet the HAB site would have instructions. And YouTube. (Trillian, I didn't do my first MT up properly for awhile, had bub sitting too low, but I watched a YouTube tutorial, and voila! I was sorted. )
The Pikkolo yep, is a SSC (soft structured carrier), but similar to a MT. With the Pikkolo, you can wear bub on your front facing in OR outwards (brilliant), or on your back. It buckles at the waist, and then kinda under the arms. Its made by CatBirdBaby if you want to google.
Ah! And I have a few pics in the babywearing section of my homepage too. (You'll find the link if you click on my name)
