Hug-a-bub: what is the pocket for?

[Kailani]

I am trying to compile a list of things still to get and I'm wanting a hug-a-bub sling. The ones with pockets are $115 and the ones without pockets are $79.95. I'm just wondering what is so good about the pocket that warrents paying an extra $35 Wouldn't that make baby uncomfortable if he was being carried with other stuff jabbing him from the pocket?! Have I totally got the wrong idea? Is it for some other purpose?

If its anything like the Ergo - maybe its a handy spot for your house keys and spare change, so you don't have to carry your handbag or whatever if you are quickly popping out?

Good question - I was wondering that myself.

I have a home made one with no pocket but I think its for putting the HAB into when you aren't using it? It's a pretty long piece of material otherwise and if you put it in the pocket you can chuck it in a bag or in the car etc? Could be wrong!

Yep you can use the pocket to fold up your HAB when not in use. When carrying, i would put my phone/keys into it.

Yeah its easy to put the HAB into the bag when youre not using it, but I wouldnt pay the extra ust for that iykwim? I would put my key card and maybe phone...but keys would jab my bub

Wow - didn't know you could get one cheaper without the pocket. That's a lot extra just for the pocket!

I only ever use it to stuff the HAB into as a little bag thing. Mind you, it would be painful to put fold up and put away without the pocket hehe. But $35 is a huge jump in price for it.
