I love my Hug a bub, my catbirdbaby mei tai and the ellaroo mei tai, they are all fab. I use the HAB around the house, dont like how so much of the material drops to the floor when out and about. My cat bird baby is my one of choice for trips out now, the ellaroo is still a little big for my baby (8 weeks old).
I hated the bubzilla, according to the sizing i was a medium, well it was way too big, so was the small! gave up after that, dd didnt like being in the pouch anyway.
and of course the close baby carrier is great hint hint!!
Kitten - I found the same issues with the HAB and I did find it hard to put on when out and about. I was considering looking at other types for out and about. I'll have a look at the catbird one. Do you find it easier to put on when out?
bek - yes, the catbird is much easier, but a little bit of the straps do still touch the ground (not much though!) and because it comes with a lil clip you can make it narrow in the crutch, so their legs can dangle out (like the HAB). My baby doenst like the froggy position in the ellaroo.
Well we went and tried on the babasling - it felt pretty thick material and as soon as we put her in it she hated it. I tried on the peanut shell which felt so much nicer but didnt want to try putting her in as she had just settled down. Will try again one time when she is nice and relaxed.
I had a look at slings today and liked the feel off the bubba moe. I also like that it had an adjustable strap so that DP could wear it as well and it had padding around the shoulder part so I think that was better than the peanut shell.
Also it was $30 cheaper than the peanut shell.
I bought a BabaSling today and so far Bubs screams when I try to lye him across ways in it but is quite happy to be upright. Does the job of leaving me hands free at home!
I'm still working out the settings for the straps though - they don't quite feel right yet.
hint hint!!
