HaB or close carrier

[luna moth]

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 should say i also have am ergo but without the nb insert

do you think i should just get the insert?

[Arimeh]

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.

The Ergo's have new infant inserts, different design now, so they actually create a pouch for bubs, which I think personally are much better and worth a look at, they are not expensive.

I used a CC for Charlotte, but she was too big for it by the time they came out, but it was very easy to use, and I have a couple here now for this bubs.
I never used a wrap, but can see how the CC will be much simpler to use, found a really cheap HAB on EBay so have one of those now, and will see how we go...maybe I'll practice with a teddy

Anyway, check out ebay, you may be able to get one cheap and get one of each.

maybe I'll practice with a teddy

I practice with a bag of polenta, the weightand floppiness is more real than any of our teddies. Once I put a hat on it too, and DH was totally spooked by it, reckoned I could have walked it down the street and noone would have known.

I have both, but haven't used the CC yet. The hab was great with DS, but I think CC seems like it'll be easier to use. The hab can take a much bigger/heavier baby, however, so it's probably worth having both. Or some others as well. Can you have too many? I only have 2 and a sling...

That's kinda weird but clever Audax.

Oh gosh... I read that as "a bag of placenta"
