    A soft wrap type sling is best for a wee bubby (like the Hug a Bub) but seeing as you think they're a bit complicated perhaps check out the 'close carrier'? It's very similar except you can just slip in on over your head rather than wrap and tie. When your DS gets to about 6 months then get an Ergo they rock!

    I'd suggest a Close Carrier - not as complicated I loved mine, and I just got another one secondhand for this next bub. Then I moved onto other carriers, tried many (2 of them being ergos) before I have found my favourite carriers - Beetlebum and Kleinsmekker. They are the bomb of carriers I reckon!

    Get a close carrier
    They're fantastic... and similar to the HAB without the fuss... super easy & super comfy!
