Sling advice needed!

[Pannacotta]

I had a Huggababy sling with DS but found it quite hard to use and not esp comfortable. Now I need a sling to carry a newborn, due in a couple of weeks.
Have been looking at threads here and elsewhere and think I've narrowed it down to Kari Me, Moby or the Courie.
Does anyone have any comments/suggestions on which might be best? It doesn't need to last until toddler age but I would like one that is comfy to use for long periods and which is not too hard to put on or take the baby out of.
Will be breastfeeding so again would prefer a sling which allows this.
TIA!

The Didymos sling is a bit tricky to start with, but does come with an instruction booklet and a dvd. It's also pricey, but you can get seconds from their website. I love it and the quality of the material is great. Might be worth borrowing a sling (or a few) from people before buying your own?

Well Jodie, I just found this site . There are groups all over the place!

Pannacotta, I was in same boat as you, I've got a 3 year old so need to be out and about with him. I asked homegrownbaby.co.uk for some advice, she was very helpful and you can rent slings from her. She does the Kari Me and the Moby I think and hotslings which are pouches like the coorie. I've ordered a hotsling, well still waiting for the right size to arrive and that's going to be good for dropping ds1 off to nursery etc. I thought the kari me and moby would take ages to take on and off & I just needed a quick fix most of the time. Homegrownbaby also recommended a meitei (the eden). My impresson is that the stretchy wraps like the moby are great for newborns, but not when they get heavier from 4-6 months on, then a didymos etc would be better.

awbs many thanks for the link, have looked at homegrownbaby and will def ask for advice and poss even hire a sling. I also need it to be easy to use and leave me with hands free for lively DS so th eone you ordered migth be an option...

I have a Kari-me and I thought it would be something I would use all the time, but I rarely do.
It is a bit of hassle to get on and off and seems a lot of material! I am not that small but I have to wrap it around me twice! And with DD getting older, I would love to put her onto my back but you need help to do that? How do you manage to do that when DH is at work??

But I think it will be a good thing to keep for when I have my next LO. Though I never tried to feed DD when wearing it, it is meant to be good and I felt it would have been manageable, in theory.

Any advice for what to do for the next size up and/or getting DD onto my back with out an able assistant!?

oooh like the look of the tricotti now I've seen it
How does the kari me fasten /tie or what?

this at least will be cheaper
