Lucky Baby vs. Hotsling?

[phillymommy]

I have a MT, but I have also found that my 11 mo loves to be carried on my hip. He's petite (17 lbs) and long (maybe 28 inches?). Am I wasting my time buying one of these? If not, do I need the padding on the Hotsling? Is LB just as fine or is the Hotsling a better product?

I have a 9 month old who is 20+ lbs and I really like my LB pouch. I (we?) do not find the leg padding necessary. It is very handy for times when I want to pop DD in and out repeatedly, like at a playgroup or on quick errands done in the car, or just to carry her in somewhere from the car if it's a longer walk, or ups and downs around the house. I wouldn't put it on and go for a long walk, but I do really love it.

I also have a Lucky Baby sling, and think it is great. I worried about not having the leg padding, but my DS doesn't seem to be bothered by not having it, and the sling is much smaller without it. I just keep it rolled up in the bottom of my diaper bag so I have it when I need it and it doesn't take up much space at all. Do you see there is a sale this week on LB?

I just ordered a LB in Asian Toile!! Can't wait to get it!

You made the right choice! I have both a Hotsling and a LB and I prefer the LB by far!!! We've never needed the padded leg rail and the LB sling is so much more comfortable.
