I have a hotsling and a bjorn, and I love them both and am glad I have both. The hotsling is good when she's fussy and wants to be held but I need to eat, or whatever, The bjorn is better when I need the use of both hands. She likes both, but is more content in the bjorn when she's happy, and wants the hotsling when she's not. I bought my hotsling on ebay though, and got a great deal.
Re: Hotsling, Bjorn, etc. help!
