Wrap/ baby wearing question

[diz]

I'm looking for a good carrier that will hold baby in the correct position to accommodate newborn kyphosis and developing hips.

With my first (6 years ago) I always carried him round, but in a second hand baby bjourn, must have been at least a 2008 model, but obvoiusly lots of research and developments have been achieved over the years and I don't want to re-use it.

I am 5'3 and size 8. Moby wraps are just to long for me and I find dealing with all of that material frustrating.

I like the idea of being able to cover baby up a bit, keep him snug and warm against my body, especially as he's due mid December. I also have a 6 year old and (nearly) 4 year old to chase round, so I don't want something really stressful to get on when I'm trying to round every one up in the house to get them out for school.

I'm not using a pushchair. I know there are sling libraries and will check them out when I get time, but would love some general advice and recommendations on what could be good options for me.

Thanks lovely ladies X

I have a nct close caboo and love it. It's such a personal choice though. I liked the slims but didn't want to be trying to tie one etc. This one you just tighten it once baby in. I'm only 5 ft 2 and size 8 and I can wear it comfortably. Don't know at what point I'll find it hard as he gets bigger though

Another vote for the nct close caboo here! I am only 5'1 and size 10, and I found it very comfy. As LO got a bit bigger (4 months old) we swapped to an Ergo, which I am still using with him now he is 18 months old.
