    Question HaB or close carrier

    Im currently borrowing a HaB and an enjoying using it, DH finds it all too hard lol

    So i also have a friend with a CC who loves it, and has also tried the HaB.

    what do you find easier?

    im thinking of buying one to keep me going as i need to return the HaB at the end of the month, and wanted to get one now ive had a go with one.

    I think the CC might be easier for DH to get on and off.

    any tips of advise pro's and con's

    Thanks

    Well you already know my thoughts

    As soon as you put the close carrier on you'll know Definately by far the best! Try one on when you go to pick up your nappies! Damn, I wish you & S had both tried mine on when I was there!

    I have both. If you're going to buy one, I'd say buy the CC, and make up your own HaB style wrap carrier, and you'll get one each!

    I'm not a fan of using the ergo for newborns, I really think ergos are an awesome carrier, but from about 3-4 months up

    I prefer the Close Carrier because its already half tied for me. The HaB (while I've never tried it) I have tried other wraps and I was too worried bubs would fall out while I'm stuffing around getting the right folds and knots and stuff, far too stressful for me.. LOL

    So I would say Close Carrier

    I had a HAB for DS and loved it, I bought a CC for DD as I liked that it was similar but with no tying lol. I absolutely love my CC. I also have an Ergo but something didnt look right to me with the newborn insert.

    I LOVE my HaB. LOVE it.

    Did that help?

    Ha ha ha.

    I have more than one carrier (three) and I think two is perfectly OK. You can have my HaB in a few months

    I have the cc, I love it it's very soft and comfy to wear as well as being easy to adjust. I used a ring sling that went over the shoulder with the girls but it hurt my back.
