Hug A Bub or Close Carrier?

[Hollybolly]

Is there much difference between the Hug a bub & the close carrier?

[feeb]

From what I understand is that the CC is for the impatient people who dont want to figure out how to tie the hug a bub!!!!!

Looks way to hard for my liking!!!!

I like idea of clips on CC

If I manage to make it on the 15th, I will bring DS2 in the close carrier and you can see it in action... I love the close, and am finding it easy and comfortable...

Heya holly

I wasn't interested in getting a HAB, just because of too many things I had read on here about people hating it because it was hard to put on, took too much time, dragged on the ground cos of all the fabric etc...

So I got a close carrier, and DD2 loves it, falls asleep within about 2 minutes of putting it on.

I also have a bubba moe, but if you have a bub with reflux, they won't like it, cos they don't usually like lying down. Close carrier is good cos they are upright, so are awesome for bubbas with reflux. (not saying that your bub will have reflux, but you gotta be prepared for everything right?)

I also have an ergo, which I love for both DD1 AND DS - they both go in it from time to time.

I have just purchased another sling (cos I'm going to sell the bubba moe) and that will take the place of the close carrier when DD2 gets too big for it. I couldn't carry DD1 comfortably in the close when she was 10kg - so I don't know about the 11kg weight limit, cos we never tried it past 10, she just sat too far down no matter how tight I made the straps.

But yes - Close Carrier rocks!

Thanks Mel

Exactly all the info I wanted to hear from everyone!

I'm so excited about being able to breastfeed in it as well (providing bub likes it of course ) - just have to pick a colour now & buy it off someone lovely from BB
