I just got myself a moby wrap last week (which as I just discovered is the same as a Hugabub). The only thing I regret is that I didn't have one from week 1.
We also have a NatureSway Sling, but Mika wasn't keen on that until she was six weeks old, and by that time it was getting too heavy for me, as the sling only hangs on 1 shoulder. We also have a frontpack, which I used in the beginning, but again she is now too heavy, although DH still wears it.
Just for comparison, I walked for 1,5 hours with Mika in the moby wrap yesterday, without any problems, and she is now 6 kgs.

We've used slings and front packs and now have a hugabub and its the most comfortable,easy to use and nicest option I've tried. It keeps baby right next to you, has no thin straps and is one size fits all. My friend also has one and she would probably be a size 12 or more and I'm a size 6. It can be used from newborn (my friend used it to keep baby warm and close for skin to skin time right after his birth) to toddlerdom.

I've popped the link in if you are interested.

DH uses a front pack (although he will use a sling for after swimming or something like that as Issy tended to sleep, which is a tad hard in an upright position lol).

Although Issy didnt "like" the front pack until she was quite old (about 4-5 months) ]]> Mon, 27 Apr 2009 15:24:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26170&PID=672010&title=unido-slings-or-others#672010 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26170&PID=671981&title=unido-slings-or-others#671981 Author: errii

I have one of the unido slings I have not used it yet but love the look of it a friend of mine has one and really loves it. In saying that my DH dose not want to use it and wants a front pack. ]]> Mon, 27 Apr 2009 15:03:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26170&PID=671981&title=unido-slings-or-others#671981 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26170&PID=671592&title=unido-slings-or-others#671592 Author: lilfatty

You might want to go and research at the slingbabies website .. they have loads of information on each type of sling available and the pros and cons of each.

Has anyone tried/used a Unido sling? Good? Bad? OK?

Am looking at getting a sling, but kinda need quite an easy one to start with...Unido suitable or no?
We have a front pack, but to be honest I find it quite uncomfortable and it's a bit big for me (I'm 4ft 11 ) so it just doesn't fit me well. Hubby can wear it fine. So I like the idea of one that is made to fit me (which these supposedly are?).
I did like the look of the Moby wrap, but I suspect that all that fabric would be a little intimidating lol.

Any advice appreciated...other recommendations too, if you have them. ]]> Mon, 27 Apr 2009 08:12:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26170&PID=671535&title=unido-slings-or-others#671535
