Hi There, I am a sling/carier virgin, apart from a little try of a friends Bubba Moe Sling, and a look at her Hug-A-Bub (which looks good but wayy too complicated for me) :lol:
I'm looking for a sling/carier to put DS in (currently 7 weeks). I want it to be hands free (so I can do things like get dinner ready), comfortable and easy to use.
Hit me with your suggestions!!! :)
A soft wrap type sling is best for a wee bubby (like the Hug a Bub) but seeing as you think they're a bit complicated perhaps check out the 'close carrier'? It's very similar except you can just slip in on over your head rather than wrap and tie. When your DS gets to about 6 months then get an Ergo they rock!
I'd suggest a Close Carrier - not as complicated :) I loved mine, and I just got another one secondhand for this next bub. Then I moved onto other carriers, tried many (2 of them being ergos) before I have found my favourite carriers - Beetlebum and Kleinsmekker. They are the bomb of carriers I reckon!
Get a close carrier :D
They're fantastic... and similar to the HAB without the fuss... super easy & super comfy!
Close carrier is awesome with a new baby!!
Once hit 4 months I love ergo, but still use close carrier!
thanks girls! Off to google close carriers :)
**UPDATE**
I purchased a Close carrier online today so I'm on my way to hands free baby wearing :D
Woohoo!! You won't regret it :D
I have a snug-as-a-bub and a plain cloth ring sling, and they are GREAT!
Once you get the hang of feeding in the sling as well, you can have HOURS of handsfree time!
Seriously the best gifts I received!
