Has anyone used the above? Is it really suitable from birth? I bought a hobbidiz wrap but feel insecure about how I am tying it and babies head position so wanted something easier ??

I think the best thing with a newborn is a stretchy wrap sling, like the Moby which I think is the same as the Hoppediz you have.
Why do you feel insecure about it? If you aren't sure which ways are best to wrap and tie it you can watch loads of videos on YouTube to give yourself a better idea.

I used a carrier similar to the Connecta from about 5 months but personally didn't think it was very suitable from birth.

I can only find foreign videos. I think I am carrying her too low. Maybe it is just because it is a new experience...., ?

Are you trying to have her on your front, facing into you? I'll see what I can find for you.

This is the simplest video I can find of doing the wrap bit

This is the newborn upright hold I used with mine

This one shows a mum putting baby in

Is that any help? Not sure which bit you are struggling with.

Thank you I have watched the videos. I think I just need to work on getting the tie tighter. I am also planning to go to a sling meet next week all being well x
