I used a close carrier from birth, loved it! Was easy quick to put on, comfortable , and DD was happy in it for ages! I could also feed her in it if i wated to, i then brought a BB it was awful! IMO. DD felt to cramped and had no room to move, it killed my back shoulders and i was in agony
So i got a ergo, DD loves it, she can move around and has room to move and see out, easy quick to put on, she can fall asleep in it and i can feel the weight is distributed all over my back and hips not just my shouldners, i can and have worn it for hours at a time with no pain at all, i love it
I will also never get rid of my Close carrier as for me it was the perfect newborn/yung baby carrier
