close carrier

hi all,

ok, after some negative reviews on bubba moe sling, im now leaning towards the close carrier. however until i read about it in this forum i'd never even heard of it, so i would appreciate any info you can share.

i am only interested in something to carry bub around for the first 4 mnths or so especially newborn. ive looked into the hug a bub before, but it looks too complicated and fussy for me, i want something easy and also it will be summer, so it has to be cool to wear for both me and bub.

whereabouts do you buy the close carrier from?

thanks for all your help!

Hi there - i ordered my close carrier yesterday from a BB member.....Arimeh - Mel.....i dont know how to post the link....maybe someone else (or the guru herself...;)) can guide you in the right direction or look under members and find her sig.

I too found the HAB too tricky for me.....im liking the close carrier.....cant wait to try it for my 7 week old...

I got mine from Mel too (Clothie Bumz, Modern Cloth Nappies) and it is absolutely fantabulous. I can't live without it.

PS Mods am I allowed to link to MPM sites? Hope so :pray:.

Babe, there is a video you can watch of the close carrier on youtube, its great.
Ans I LOVE the sling!!!!!

Yep, Arimeh sells them, a member here on BB. Search her username, and hit the link in her signature!!! ;)

how long can you use em for? age limit? weight limit?

Its more a weight limit.
Harmony is almost 8 kg, and is still inwards facing, and I can still carry her for, literally, hours!! I have yet to turn her outwards, so think ill get ages out of it yet

But I know some who wont carry thier 10kg bubbas.

I guess its a personal thing, and also how big you are, to be carrying a bigger bubba. I'm tallish, and size 12, so ill get heaps of use compared to a little lady carrying a huge baby around!!! :D

Hey hun :) I got mine and I actually couldn't use it :( Ash was too heavy and it hurt my back so I went back the mei tais and the ergo and wraps.

My sister used mine for a couple of weeks and loved it! She said it was soooo comfy for her NB :)

Limeslice also has them in her shop...

Oops....:redface:

I didn't know Lime sold them too, sorry babe!!! :doh:

yep i bought from lime slice.. it is fab and much easier than a hug a bub which i have heard is great but i think i'd be too unco for!
