It took us a little while to figure out how to safely wrap our baby - especially when we were on the go, such as getting out of the car. Once we figured it out, we loved it whilst our baby was very little as we could really snuggle him up. But it became too hot and our baby became quite uncomfortable too quickly. I note that you have a new lightweight edition, so hopefully this will be somewhat more comfortable to wear for periods of time?

I loved the hug a bub for the new born phase but found that a wriggly baby meant the fabric would shift as I wore her making the harness not as secure. As a dissapointing result I stopped using it after about 4 months due to safety concerns for bub.

I found the ring sling very difficult to use with a fussy baby who didn't like to be confined. He would scream and arch his back every time I tried to put him in it, resulting in him not being secure. The ring sling is certainly not for every baby.

I liked the idea of the hug-a-bub, but found it took ages to wrap and get my baby into. I think less material would still provide the strength / safety features, but would be easier/quicker to use. If it is a case of attempting to cover all sizes, I am quite small, but suggest having various sizes to fit all. At this stage I would not use it for my second baby. Thanks.

Love the colours of our sling (bondi colours). Our baby doesn't like it and it was hard trying to get her into it. Wish we bought it sooner as our baby was just over 4 months and 7.6kg when we got it. I think it would be easier and we would use it if we started our baby in it from a younger age.

We are big fans! Hug-a-bubs are our go-to presents for expectant parents. We have lots of great memories with our two wraps and like to pass on the love. I did like the fabric that you used to use better though. It's too stretchy now! A wrap with stiffer material just works better.

I found this wrap hard to to learn how to wrap, unfortunately the the for me and others I know who have purchased this particular wrap just find the diagrams no where near detailed enough to do that wrap. Overall not particularly satisfying considering the cost of this particular product.

The wrap worked well but was hard to tighten at the top once baby was in. My friend lent me a different type of hug a bub which had strings to tighten which worked much better. I felt my baby was much more secure. Ended up buying a more structured carrier.

Have used for my 3kg newborn a couple of times. It is ok. She seems happy enough but I see how it would get hot quickly. I am a small person (55kg) and find it has stretched a bit at the front, not sure why? It is easy to use as far as tying it on. For some reason after a while I find it starts to hurt my upper back where it is tied. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this? Am hoping to get a lot more use out of it however as it is a relatively expensive baby item and is essentially just a well marketed peice of material. Would recommend a second hand one to buyers.

I purchased a hug-a-bub after reading so many great reviews. We were rather late to purchase, bubs was 5 weeks and a big boy. He hated it, every time I used it he just cried. I can only guess as he was already so big it was not comfortable. We now purchased a different baby carrier which he loves, easy to use and falls asleep all the time in it.

I love the idea of the wrap and baby being snug in my chest, it seems comfortable for the carrier and bub. However, i feel that i need a university degree to know how to put it on! i find that there is too much excessive fabric, probably due to bub and i being small and i can't seem to wrap my baby snug enough.
i cannot imagine how i can easily put it on and off when i go out and about or have to do it quickly.

Difficult to put on

I live in QLD and purchased the hugabub because of the great reviews. I have only used it a couple of times and personally found the wrap too hot for our weather. I am disappointed as it is very comfortable to wear. I would not recommend using the hugabub if you live in a hot climate area.
Very comfortable
Too hot to wear in summer

I was given this carrier as a gift when my first baby was born. While it is extremely comfortable, and is good for those with a bad back, i did find that it took me a long time to assemble, and usually had to get someone to put it on for me. I found that there are too many bits and pieces to string together- and if you have more than one child, is less than ideal if you have to go somewhere in a hurry.
Comfortable
Expensive, difficult to put on. Not good if you are in a hurry

It certainly gives the best support as fas as baby carrier. My son doesn't like being in it. It's too complicated to wear and too expensive. I certainly wouldn't buy it new since it costs too much.
I borrowed this carrier from my friend since I've been having back problem carring my son as he gets heavier. It is quite tricky to put on but it gives great support to your back and you can do most thing since both you hands are free. Very comfortable.
It is not the most flaterring look. It takes a while to get use to put it on, so it is not the most convinient way when you go shopping. Pricey!!
