I registered and received the Moby wrap (after hearing/reading great reviews on it) but after watching the video I was wondering whether or not to keep it. It seems a little difficult to use. Does it get easier with practice?
I've practiced a few times with a stuffed animal and it does get easier the more you put it on. It's kinda awkward though with this huge belly so I'm sure it will work better once the belly's gone. I think I'm really going to like the moby wrap though.
Personally, I would return it...I hated that thing. I figured out how to wrap it but 1) DD got too hot in it (even in winter) 2) It killed my back after a short walk. 3) My daughter hated it and cried.

This. I'd keep it to see if it works for you. I think a lot of the baby gear you have to actually try with your different babies to see if they like it, etc.
The Moby is the best baby product I own, no joke. It's the only thing that has allowed me to get grocery shopping done, and when DD was itty bitty, often it was the only place she would nap.
IMO, KEEP IT!! You'll get the hang of it and be able to do it in about 30 seconds before you know it.

This exactly, I practiced with a stuff animal and I really liked it. I think it would be nice and cozy for a newborn. I also had a bit of time because of my belly, but I think it will be nice for my son and I.
The two men in my life. Oh, and I have a husband too...
Keep it for sure! I didn't get mine until my DD was about three months old and it was still my favorite baby thing. I used it every time we went out since it was so easy for me to use when I was alone. If you put it on correctly and tight enough, it does not hurt your back at all. It takes some practice and it is intimidating at first, once you get the hang of it you can put in on it about 30 seconds without even looking! I can't wait to use it again.
Keep it for sure! It definitely takes some getting used to but once you practice for a little bit it gets so easy. I LOVED the Moby when DD was little.

I rec. the Ergo...eliminated all those issues.
