Im currently borrowing a HaB and an enjoying using it, DH finds it all too hard lol
So i also have a friend with a CC who loves it, and has also tried the HaB.
what do you find easier?
im thinking of buying one to keep me going as i need to return the HaB at the end of the month, and wanted to get one now ive had a go with one.
I think the CC might be easier for DH to get on and off.
any tips of advise pro's and con's
Thanks
Well you already know my thoughts :rofl:
As soon as you put the close carrier on you'll know ;) Definately by far the best! Try one on when you go to pick up your nappies! Damn, I wish you & S had both tried mine on when I was there!
I have both. If you're going to buy one, I'd say buy the CC, and make up your own HaB style wrap carrier, and you'll get one each!
i should say i also have am ergo but without the nb insert
do you think i should just get the insert?
I'm not a fan of using the ergo for newborns, I really think ergos are an awesome carrier, but from about 3-4 months up :)
I prefer the Close Carrier because its already half tied for me. The HaB (while I've never tried it) I have tried other wraps and I was too worried bubs would fall out while I'm stuffing around getting the right folds and knots and stuff, far too stressful for me.. LOL
So I would say Close Carrier :)
I had a HAB for DS and loved it, I bought a CC for DD as I liked that it was similar but with no tying lol. I absolutely love my CC. I also have an Ergo but something didnt look right to me with the newborn insert.
The Ergo's have new infant inserts, different design now, so they actually create a pouch for bubs, which I think personally are much better and worth a look at, they are not expensive.
I used a CC for Charlotte, but she was too big for it by the time they came out, but it was very easy to use, and I have a couple here now for this bubs.
I never used a wrap, but can see how the CC will be much simpler to use, found a really cheap HAB on EBay so have one of those now, and will see how we go...maybe I'll practice with a teddy :rofl:
Anyway, check out ebay, you may be able to get one cheap and get one of each.
I LOVE my HaB. LOVE it.
Did that help?
Ha ha ha.
I have more than one carrier (three) and I think two is perfectly OK. You can have my HaB in a few months :)
I practice with a bag of polenta, the weightand floppiness is more real than any of our teddies. Once I put a hat on it too, and DH was totally spooked by it, reckoned I could have walked it down the street and noone would have known. :rofl::
I have both, but haven't used the CC yet. The hab was great with DS, but I think CC seems like it'll be easier to use. The hab can take a much bigger/heavier baby, however, so it's probably worth having both. Or some others as well. Can you have too many? I only have 2 and a sling...
That's kinda weird but clever Audax.
my DH is really uncoordinated and cannot use our ring sling but finds the CC the BEST thing ever. so i vote for CC...but we havent used the HaB before...
oh and we have 3 carriers ATM... never can have too many.
Exactly same love ergo from 4 months, before that CC is awesome!!! I am to unco and impatient for HAB:

i love my close carrier but i prefered my homemade HAB and i now have a beco which is for both bubbas so im selling my close carrier PM me if ur interested :)
Are you going to the baby expo next week Loula...if so you could try them and a few othe types of carrier on there and decide what you like best.....we could meet up somewhere if you like
I have used both and I like different things about each. I used the CC for my last bub and I loved it. Although I only used it until she was 5 months mainly because it was too hot.
I have the cc, I love it it's very soft and comfy to wear as well as being easy to adjust. I used a ring sling that went over the shoulder with the girls but it hurt my back.
Oh gosh... I read that as "a bag of placenta" :o:
:rofl::
