Hug-a-Bub is looking to draw from our community and feature reviews of both the hug-a-bub wrap carrier and ring sling on our blog and on our facebook page.
We are looking for people to submit their reviews in words, pictures and video (you can use some of these mediums or all of them it really is completely up to you!) to share your babywearing experience.
Hug-a-bub has a great resource on our YouTube channel and we would love to add to it. An example of some testimonials that we have received in the past is here:
It dosn't have to be a traditional review (although it can be!) feel free to be as creative as you like. We can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.
Suggestions for a video review include:
1. Demonstrating how to put the baby in the carrier in a particular position
2. Settling your baby in the carrier
3. Doing an activity with the carrier
4. Talking about specific ways you use the carrier.

Hug-a-Bub, a Review
Every now and then, after my three year old has gone to bed and it's just my husband and I awake with our little one in her hug-a-bub wrap, we look over at one another and exchange a look. Sometimes we verbalise it, sometimes we don't. But what the look says is 'thank god for the wrap'. With our first we became accustomed to hours upon hours of endless rocking in a darkened room, creeping around, not making a sound. So to be able to have some dinner, watch some TV, get some work done or just relax with our baby happily sleeping away in the carrier has been such a blessing. It has taken so much of the stress out of baby sleep that it has left us to just enjoy the baby. And she is a delight.
At first I was intimidated by the single length of fabric, and that's one of the main comments I get about it from people who are unfamiliar with it - that it seems complicated. But it's not. After a couple of times trying it out, I got the hang of it pretty quickly. And if anything it only looks complicated because she is so securely wrapped up.
There are very few things that I couldn't do with her in the Hug-a-Bub. I can go for a brisk walk for exercise or for enjoyment, take my preschooler to the park, clean the house, do work on the computer, make dinner, go shopping, watch a movie or have something to eat. And it is such a relief to me to know that no matter how fussy our baby is, whether she's teething or overtired or just having a hard day, no matter what she will go to sleep in the Hug-a-Bub.
I own a structured carrier and I have put her in it from time to time but as yet she's not keen. She likes to have something to push against, have a bit of a fight before going to sleep and the fact is that a structured carrier gives her too much room to thrash about. She's always knocking her dummy out. She likes the containment of the wrap carrier and she likes that in the heart-to-heart position her head is held to the side so she can have her dummy comfortably.
When people used to ask me what my number one baby purchase was I used to laugh and say a King bed, now I'm much more likely to say my Hug-a-Bub although the King bed is still firmly in second place!
