I have Parent's of invention ultimate wrap which is very like a moby. It was great before he got to heavy. The t-shirt like material gives a lot and it would loosen and he would droop down my front after a few hours. I have heard the same problem from moby users BUT it does work good from birth to about 6 months.

I like ring slings and I am getting a hot sling to try next month. I like the hot sling because there are not parts to fiddle with.

Don't go for the bjorn style carriers studies have shown they are bad for babies developing hip bones/joints all of their weight is carried on the part that goes between their crotch. Wraps, pouches, and slings don't do that to the babies hips because they are supported better.

My DH has worn my GN coloured ring sling and had no trouble getting it on.

I had the Infantino Sling Rider and a Nojo.
I loved loved loved my Infantino, I couldnt figure out the Nojo so I gave it to a friend LOL
We also have a Fisher Price front carrier, but neither of my kids cared for it.

:yes

I agree!

We used an OTSBH with DD as well as mama-made ones that were awesome! DH & I both used them until DD was about 3. And I too like the ring-slings!

OH! :duh:giggle I assumed you meant car seat/carrie. I used a front carrier by bjorn. I found it uncomfortable. A sling worked nicely.
