    Love it, love it, love it! I can do the dishes and make food and vacuum while holding my son. He does not like to be put down that often so I stick him in the wrap and get stuff done. He always fusses for a minute or two after being put in it then he just passes out.

    It's great for when LO is still really little. I'll probably use ours until about 12-15 lbs or so and then move on to a ring sling.

    C loves being in it and I use it for a few hours every day. I've used it at the grocery store a few times and loved it. I wrapped it before I left the house and then just popped her in after we got to the store. She slept the whole time and I didn't have to worry about anyone stopping and touching/asking about her.

    It has a bit of a learning curve - the wrapping is a little confusing at first, but once you figure it out you'll be good to go.

    My Moby has been my saving grace on days that I am home alone with my 2u2!! The only con for me is that it is sooo long, it drags on the floor when putting it on. If we are going out and about. I have to put the Moby on before we leave so that it won't drag on the ground if I wait to put it on when we get to wherever we are going.

    I'm head over heels for my Moby, and LO loves it too.  She's always peaceful when she's in it, and it makes life a thousand times easier when she's fussy and I need to get things done.

    Cons are that it's tough to eat while she's in there, picking up dropped items is as much an ordeal as it was during pregnancy, and I'm not sure if you're BFing, but if LO gets hungry while she's in there I have to take the whole contraption off to feed her.

    I use mine every day.  Halle falls asleep and stays asleep in it every time.  We've taken her apple picking, out to dinner, to the movies, and to meetings in it.

    I love my moby, DS is 50/50. One day he'll love it the next not so much...but then again he's like that with everything. As for the learning curve, I youtubed a couple of videos about putting on the moby and that worked out perfectly. Even if your baby is picky like mine, it's totally worth it for the times they are in there.

    I BF'd my son while he is in it. At home I will sometimes leave my shirt off for skin to skin. When he gets hungry like that, I pull down a cup on the nursing bra and move his head over to my breast.

    Couldn't live without ours- we have flown all over the country in the past few weeks and I don't think I could have done it without our Moby wrap. In fact, she's in it right now fast asleep.

    babywearing rocks! we didnt end up using a moby because we just found it to be too much of hassle to put on every time. we got a baby k'tan instead which can be worn like a moby but you dont have to wrap. its a lifesaver for getting things done around the house!
