s/o slings: anyone have a "hotsling"?

I have one of these but I don't think I can use it for my LO yet as he is still just under 6lbs.  Does anyone have one of these and can tell me how they like it?

TIA!

    It seems it's better when they're older. Layla did great in it, but that was after she was able to sit up on her own. I didn't have it when she was an infant.?

    Lexi HATES it and I am not able to use it at all.

    I really want a Moby, but no one around here sells it.. and I don't want to buy it online :( ?

    Interesting that so many LO's didn't like it!  I need something to use with her now.  Maybe I will check out a Moby.  Thanks ladies!

    Both DS and DD like it.  However the only thing is that it is size specific so DH had to use another carrier when holding DS or DD.

    Check out a Mei Tai Wrap.  Our LO loves it and it can be used for a long time.  I've heard with the Moby that the fabric will stretch over time the heavier they get so you won't be able to use those as long.

    My LO loves it!  He was only 4 lbs.15 oz. at birth, and I used it just a few days after he was born, and he loved it.  I recommend them, but I guess it just depends on your LO.

    You used it when he was that little?  I was afraid to try him out in it b/c it says for babies 8lbs and up.  But, maybe that is just said to be on the safe side.  Maybe I will try it soon.  How did you place your guy in it?

    If you're interested in a moby, you can DIY.  I found fabric at Joann's and used the 40% coupon.  I ended up with enough fabric for 2 Moby's for $12.  I just bought 6 yards of fabric and cut it in half so each piece was 30 inches wide. It works perfect and LO fell asleep as soon as she got in it.  I figure if I don't use it for a long time I didn't spend that much on it.

    I am not sure I am that crafty, but maybe I will try it!  Thanks!

    Yea, I guess he was just a little over five pounds when I put him in it.  I borrowed it from my sister, and she didn't say anything about the weight restrictions.  I don't see why they would put weight restrictions on there, I guess like you said to be on the safe side, but I just put him in the cradle position, I think that's what they call it, and he was fine.  I would give it a shot, your little guy might like it.
