soft sling for around the house?

[Snowlet]

Hi all, just looking for a few recommendations for a soft round-the-house sling. We have a Manduca which is suitable from infant on (comes with an insert) so great for out and about but I think a bit bulky to just throw on to do the washing up.

I'm leaning toward the organic Caboo (seems simpler than Moby) but wanted a few opinions?

I'm not due until June and it's my first so only experience with slings is through friends. Thanks for any help!

I've got a caboo. I definitely rate it. Once you've figured out where to put your head and arms it's dead easy, and really good when dc is tiny. Bit more of a faff now my dd is 6mo, but I still use it.

I like my Caboo and so does my 5wk old - I pop her in if she's a bit cranky and she'll sleep for hours while I have hands-free time. Good for out and about too - did the supermarket shop with her in it this week. It's quick to get the hang of it I think.

I love my moby, it took a couple of goes but now I can get it on really quickly and easily. Also found it to be the only non-irritating one for bigger boobs!

Thank you so much for the feedback, think we'll go for the Caboo, anyone have a DP wearing as well? Is it okay for a man? I'm wondering if I'll find the two parts annoying, but still seems easier than metres of fabric!

I had one and loved it for DD1. By DD2 I preferred the flexibility and lack of long trailing bits from a moby or whatever. It was the long flappy trailing bits that annoyed me - you can tie them loosely together at the back, but it's still lots of extra fabric.

I've gone for the Hana baby wrap. It's nice and light as it's bamboo, so not as warm as some of the cotton/fleece ones.

I haven't been bothering with the second bit of fabric for the Caboo while she is still so little. DP uses it too. I do agree the downside is there seems to be way more fabric than you need, unless you were enormous round the middle, but that seemed to be the case with a lot of soft/wrap slings as far as I could see.
