so many options for carry positions, and can be used by multiple family members.
my advice to someone who buys the moby is don't be afraid to wrap it fairly tight before you put your baby in because with some of the positions it really stretches, almost to the point where it's
there is one draw back, and thus 4 stars rather than 5, that it takes a little bit of practice to wrap it correctly and get baby positioned correctly.
i practiced in the house and around the neighborhood a couple of times to find out how to tie it and the best position for my baby.
mom has found it to have a more natural feeling/carrying position and less painful on the back than the baby bjorn.
sometimes the baby slides in great, other times it's a struggle to get him positioned correctly so that his head is supported correctly and he is not in danger of squirming his way out.
i decided on the moby wrap b/c it was one size fits all, as well as the versatility of positions and how early you could begin carrying your baby in it.
before i bought it, i was using a baby bjorn - but it only offers 2 carry positions for my little one, and she is too small for one of them.
i love how the weight of the baby is distributed and there are so many different positions available with one sling!
once i get her in, she is so secure that it doesn't seem practical to move her into a nursing position.
i can comfortably carry my son in many different positions for several hours without being sore from it later.
i thought it would be hard wrapping around my body and figuring out how to position her correctly, but the directions were easy to follow, and it was no more difficult than trying to put her in her
there are many great wearing positions available, and after a bit of fuss (as baby and i both figured out how to make the wrap work and tried out different positions) we all love the wrap.
it does take some time to get used to wearing it correctly and understanding how to wear it in different positions.
if the baby and sling are positioned correctly the weight is distributed evenly across your back.
love this sling because the baby is in a natural position to sleep, cradled near the warmth of their carrier.
bit tough initially with a newborn, and particularly if you are not accustomed to wearing a sling, but i was able to fold a receiving blanket under my son's head to keep him in a reasonable position.
he has always been positioned so that i never had to worry about him falling or breathing.
the hotsling takes some time to get used too for you and your baby, so don't give up until you've tried it in several different positions, find the one that works great for you and baby.
it is very easy to put on if you watch the video and after about a week of using it took me less than a minute to get him in it in the hip carry position.
it comes with an instructional dvd on the various carrying positions which is very helpful.
she loves to snuggle in close and we have used it in various positions.
she is five months old now and is perfectly content to sit either in the modified cradle or hip positions.
my son and i both love it, it is easy to get him in and out of and it keeps him in a position very much the way i cradle him in my arms.
at about 6 months, when our friends were putting their chest paks in the closet, mark moved to the "kangaroo" position for a few more months.
unlike those chest carriers, the slingeeze offers multiple positions: you can let them lay, sit up, or hug your hip, depending on age.
i must be completely uncoordinated according to the other reviews for the slingezee; however, it took a lot of practice-which included her crying and sometimes even me-for me to even get my daughter
pros: 5 positions to choose from!
it is very easy to use, many carrying positions (8), can nurse my baby in it privately, very soft comfortable material, and it is comfortable on my back (it has a back support band that slides up and
it is essentially two pouch slings tied together, plus a sash to use as extra support for some of the positions.
the loop that holds the two pieces of fabric can be a little difficult to reach...it is supposed to be in the middle of your back when positioned right but seems to be a little higher on me.
it's so easy to use - no wrapping, just two loops of fabric - and has lots of carrying positions.
the negative is that the only position that you can use from birth is called the cradle position and my son cried every time i put him in that position.
pros: good baby position, comfortable, easy to use
pros: great design, ergonomic position for baby, durable fabric, waist belt, front,back and hip carry
pros: backpack position earlier than most carriers, more secure than a sling, durable.
pros: comfortable, easy to put on and off in all positions, fairly mainstream looking
pros: can carry in three positions.
the position of the baby makes it pretty difficult to move your arms around too much.
a single carrier can be used in left or right side position, in front and you can also nurse baby discreetly.
love the product..how you can change positions without removing baby and harness for various purposes...how daddy can wear it comfortably, too; how well it is made.
the only complaint would be that it takes some practice to use the side carry and rear carry positions.
some folks prefer front facing position when carrying in front of you, but this one does not do that.
the thick padded shoulder straps are also nice, and the backpack-like structure distributes weight nicely in the front or back positions.
he seemed to be uncomfortable while he was in it, no position we found was not akward.
this one is very comfortable as far as the straps, and where they are positioned on your body.overall i thought it was worth the money and a good product.
it makes no difference to you or the child if you leave the frame in the open position during your walk, but if you're in tight quarters, you'll want to close it.
the only thing keeping it from a 5 star rating is the fact that the chest strap is not adjustable in its position on the shoulder straps and if i use it, it comes right up under my chin.
(b) there is only 1 chest strap position and i'd like it to be 2" higher,
i like that the carrier allows for so many different positions for baby and that it can be thrown in the washer.
we have not yet used it in the backpack position but i am very pleased so far.
i did not wear it on my back, i only wore it in the front position when my daughter was a newborn.
i love this one much more than the deluxe model because the deluxe model rubbed the underside of my chin when i used it in the forward facing position!!
we continued to use it often on walks outside until addison was ready to turn to the "facing outward" position.
he was crying before he was lifed up by using the snugli, then he immediately stopped crying and soon found himself a comfortable position then went to sleep.
