I purchased a cream hug a bub mesh ring sling online direct from the company. I find it incredibly difficult to use as the fabric grabs, doesn't slide through the rings easily and gets stuck every time. I have since met some people experienced with ring slings (and baby wearing) and they confirmed I am doing/using it correctly but it's the material which is an issue as they have come across this problem with the same product many times before. I really regret this purchase as I've never been able to use it despite trying many many times to give it a go, but no matter what I do the material gets stuck in the rings. I'm disappointed as this wasn't a cheap purchase and I really wanted to love this product.

The order was sent in separate bundles and so because I was having it shipped onwards it became a hugely expensive exercise - this separate processing was done without any communication to me.

I also found the fabric is too stretchy, so after a period of baby wearing, the baby slides around and I need to keep retying. This is extremely difficult when I am out on my own and don't wish to put the baby down on a dirty seat. It was much more comfortable with an ergo - both for me and baby.

I was so excited about getting this product and really wanted to use it. I lived i Hong Kong and it was perfect for getting around the city. But I could never put it on properly it was too complicated and I was always worried I hadn't put it on right and my baby would slip out so I never used it.

Definitely not for everyone. I loved the idea, so I purchased one for my newborn but she hated it!
She didn't like how much it squished her and how she couldn't move at all, she would scream bloody murder every time she was in it. Changed her to the Bjorn and she was happy as pie.
It's also very very hard to put on, especially when you are alone, also found it hard to get bubs in it.
I tried selling it and no one would take it, I ended up having to give it to a friend for free. Waste of money if you ask me. I recommend trying it on with your baby first to see if you like it and if your baby is happy to be that squished against you.

Didn't suit my needs, even though I heard they were great, bit disappointed I spent so much money on something that I didn't use very often and you could probably make one yourself.
I liked the great colours and soft material. I bought this at the recommedation of others and because it was comfortable.
Overpriced - I paid $130 at a baby shop for a length of fabric and a DVD on how to fold it. The product didn't suit me as my baby was very small 6 pound and had to go in the pea pod configuration which mean't I was lopsided and put quite a bit of strain on my neck and upper back so I ended up stopping using it because of the aches. Also it was a real pain to fold each time so I invested in a baby bjorn.

I sold my hug-a-bub because it was too fiddly to bother with. I ended up using a Baby Bjorn carrier because it was much more straight forward to put baby into. Particularly when out and about.
Great designs, newborn babies can be nice, snug and close to mum. Supports their head\neck.
I found it too difficult to put on. Too much fiddling around to get it right. I needed something quick and easy to put on. I think it is expensive for one big long piece of material.
