Hi all,
Can anyone tell me the difference between the original Hugabub and the pocketless one? The pocketless one is cheaper, so it's looking good to me. But I can't see any pocket in the pictures (I've never seen one in real life) and I'm wondering what on earth you'd use a pocket for anyway.
the pocket is really handy to roll up all the length into when you're not using it itms? so it makes it really easy to cart around everywhere with you cos it's all stuffed into the pocket like a little ball. does that make sense to anyone? i'm having real trouble trying to word what i'm trying to say LOL i hope you understand :) maybe someone can explain it better than me....
i think it would be a real pita to have a pocketless one....
yep, like ginger said the pocket is great as when you take it off, you turn the pocket inside out and it all goes in then the drawstring closes it! makes it easir to just chuck in the nappy bag or what have you.
That being said though, whenever I am using mine, it tends to stay on anyway, its only re adjusted before bub goes back in.
I f you do go pocketless. you could just find a nice little bag for it to go in anyway, thats what a friend of mine did for hers.
I also used my pocket for stuff like my keys etc when bubs was small. And having the pocket to roll it up into is a massive help.
I got a pocketless one as I refuse to pay that much more for a pocket. :lol: There is no difference in the function of the wrap. You don't have a different coloured square on the front though... all one colour.
I always need a bag to carry all the stuff required for my boys anyway, the pocket wouldn't be big enough, and it doesn't bother me that it doesn't all fold up nicely with a drawstring. As starrysky said, you can get a little drawstring bag separately if you really want to.
I have one with the pocket and it really doesn't make much difference imo. Yeah it's handy to shove the whole wrap in to store instead of folding it but I ususally fold it anyway with all DS's blankets and things because it looks neater! I also take a bag with me wherever I go too so I really hardly use the pocket. Sometimes I might put my phone in it if I'm expecting a call and we're out somewhere noisy and I wouldn't be able to hear it if it was in my bag...lol
Thanks for your replies. If the pocket's main function is being a bag for the wrap, I think I'll give it a miss. It's an expensive pocket!
If you used it as a real pocket, wouldn't keys and mobile phones dig into the baby?
Keys probably would and for that reason I didn't put mine in there but I have used it for the phone.
I have one with the pocket and I don't think I'd like the pocketless one. I like how it bundles up into it's own little bag very much. I keep it in the car most of the time and it travels with us to places on holidays so it is kept very neat and compact within itself as a unit.
I could imagine if you chucked it in a plastic bag or other bag then you may not be able to find it in a car full of enough stuff for 6 people as easily.
U could sew your own pocket on to it
