Your sling/baby carrier preferences?

Im looking at the baba sling or close baby carrier...would be interested to hear your experiences with those and any other recommendations? Thanks x

I'm planning on getting a moby wrap. I know many women who have used them and say they are absolutely fabulous. They aren't as difficult as they look to tie up and once you get the hang of it they are quite versatile I've been told.

I've got the Moby, havent used it yet (although may have practiced tying it up with a doll

) but its fairly easy to tie up and I love that you can change babies position so easily

Havent had bubs to try them yet but I have a baba sling, and even with the straps fully extended it doesnt seem so comfy, couldnt imagine squishing baby in there too! I also have a mei tai and a moby wrap which I would recommend as they are so easy to wear!

I'm planning on using a Moby wrap but will be having a good look and play at the baby show in May to see what I like best (hopefully Moby will have a stall)

ive not heard good things about the baba sling because it puts all the weight on one shoulder. Ive got a moby to use which is similar to the close baby carrier but if you want something that will last longer you might want to consider a woven wrap like an ellaroo.

I've never heard of anyone who likes the Babasling

I like a Mei Tai.
