I have a sling, and DD and DS like it (separately, obviously) about 50% of the time. I'd love to be able to wear one of them rather than hold (because one usually wants to be held, and it's alot to hold a baby every waking hour . . . or to get anything done while holding a baby). What makes the Moby great? If your LO didn't like the sling, did they like the Moby? Which one did you buy (I saw there are 3 different ones)?
Thanks!
Re: Moby wrap - convince me!
with the moby you can wear both of them
i have just the plain ol moby in sienna. p loves when i wear him bc he can be with me and see everything, and i can actually get stuff done.
You can wear both babies at the same time with the MOBY.
DS loves being in his. And figuring out how to wrap it on you is not difficult.
It's a bit warm though. At least it was today.
Mine was $33 and change. Tax and shipping incl.

I would not have paid $70.
I don't have the Moby...I have a sleepy wrap, which is basically the same thing from what I can see. I love it because it is super comfy and I can get things done while he's in it. Plus, he falls right to sleep.
It's convenient for a quick trip into the store, too, cuz I can just slip him in and have my hands free if I need them (Travel systems are too much of a hassle to lug around everywhere and we don't have a lightweight stroller yet).
I like wraps better than slings because you are totally hands free. Have you ever tried the tummy to tummy (where baby is upright) position in a sling? My kiddo hated the cradle hold but loves tummy to tummy - that's the basic moby hold.
It really is worth the investment - and you could totally learn to carry both at once if you wanted!

I bought the Moby for the same reason you want to. DD's hated it. I tried to put them in a few times and they cried until I took them out. They were crammed in there. So I have only used it twice, separately. I like my Baby Bjorn if I am going to carry them separately.
