im thinking i am going to order one so dd can be close and i can use my hands... thoughts from users? i was going to order from the site... any cheaper retailers?

I just bought 5yds of jersey knit material -- its the same thing and far less expensive.  You can cut the material in half lengthwise if it seems like too much - but I didn't.  

There are directions on how to tie the wrap on the Moby website.

I got the Ultimate Baby Wrap from BRU which I think is the same.  It was a *lifesaver* for when LO was really fussy...the forward-facing position was a magic cure when his gas was really bad.  Now that he is older I have a jellybean sling which is handier, doesn't take forever to put on, and holds him on my hip hands-free, but I still use the wrap sling from time to time.

I did but Cora never liked it. We have the bjorn now.

I have a different brand, which I forget the name of, but its the same thing.  Mine was my SIL's so I don't know how much it was.  I love it, and its especially great when they're still small.  Very secure and cozy for them, and much easier to use than it looks at first.  I used to use it to grocery shop and DS almost always fell asleep halfway through the store.

I also have the Ultimate Baby Wrap from BRU- same thing.  I like it but it is a bit more complicated than the baby Bjorn.  I tend to use the Bjorn more because of this.

I ordered one and it should come tomorrow.  I can let you know what I think when it comes

I have a Bjorn, Moby, a sling from BRU, and a peanut shell sling. 

I'm petite and I felt like the Moby was just too much fabric.  I  felt like a mummy.  It was hard to get on and hard to get DD into it.  I preferred the bjorn - less options, but much easier to get on and off.  And I felt more secure with her in the bjorn.  I was afraid with the Moby I'd do it wrong.

The sling from BRU was terrible - DD was almost 9lbs at birth so she was heavy and akward in the sling.  I got the peanut shell when she was about 9 mo.  She can sit on my hip and my hands are free.  Spreads her weight across my back/shoulders instead of my arms.  I'll also use it with #2 as a regular sling.  I think I might get one of the asian style carriers that can go front or back too.

Oh and DH will wear the bjorn but no other ones.

I have one.  DD is actually sleeping in it right now - she is in a serious mommy phase at the moment and I would not be able to do anything without it!

My DD liked it for a very short time when she was really little.  She got frustrated being so cinched in and then got too heavy.  (She's been in the 98th percentile pretty consistently.)  I'm glad I borrowed it because we got little use out of it...but it was great while it worked!

I have one and I love it so far!

I have one but I rarely use it.  It was too hot to wrap in August and September in Texas, and now we're in the habit of using a ring sling or mei tai most of the time.  I just find them both quicker and easier to transport than the moby.

I had a Sleepy Wrap and a Moby and I love the SW a LOT more. It's stretchier and stays snug against my body more. I sold the Moby and still have the Sleepy.
