Ooops.. i just saw this so sorry for the late reply. I think you are going to like it Laurie... and the red is really nice. These days i am buying everything in red.. it is my new fav colour too!

I have not tried Leela in the front carry (if you mean the cross-carry with her facing fwd.... let me try it in the evening and let you know).
I think the HaB does not have tapered ends and is not as wide and has a pocket.. other than that i am not sure if it is any different (except the $$ ofcourse!). That is why i chose the Moby instead.

Laurie.. i totally understand how you mus be missing carrying Emma around.... make sure you are fully recovered before doing it though!! And thanks again for the yoga tape... i got it in the mail today!!!
