Hi there. I have been using a Moby wrap since my DS was 12 weeks (now 11.5mo), and love it. However, now I am back at work I need something that I can put on really quickly in a car park in bad weather when I carry him / my workbag / his nursery bag up from the car all at the same time!
I have tried the Moby - still incredibly comfy, even though he's a bit on the cuddly side, but it ended up being blown through a puddle. So not ideal!
I tried a ring sling before getting the Moby, but even at 12 weeks old I found it pulled too much on my shoulder, as I have problems with muscle strain in my neck/shoulder. So a ring sling is also out!
Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be for a short use time - really only a couple of minutes at a time, as I still use the Moby for longer periods. I don't like buckles as I find they always seem to dig in, and I need wide straps over the shoulders. I was wondering about Mei Teis, but don't really know how quick they are to put on - if you have to do a lot of tying then that would be as tricky as the Moby. Or I also saw the close carrier, which looks slightly more promising.
Any suggestions would be very gratefully received!

Need a sling that's quicker to put on than my Moby wrap but is not a ring sling - any ideas?
