Have used for my 3kg newborn a couple of times. It is ok. She seems happy enough but I see how it would get hot quickly. I am a small person (55kg) and find it has stretched a bit at the front, not sure why? It is easy to use as far as tying it on. For some reason after a while I find it starts to hurt my upper back where it is tied. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this? Am hoping to get a lot more use out of it however as it is a relatively expensive baby item and is essentially just a well marketed peice of material. Would recommend a second hand one to buyers.

Bought second hand hug a bub after looking at all the different options and brands. I found it very comfortable to wear with my 9 week old. I think this would've been perfect with newborn as it keeps baby wrapped rather snug against you, my baby is already a bit wriggly. Nice material and very comfortable. Easy to tie on, took a couple of practice runs. Overheating not a problem in Tasmania but I could see how it could be in warmer weather.

So happy with my purchase. We have an Ergobaby which he also loves but there's a big height and size difference between me and my husband and having to fit the Ergobaby each time was becoming annoying. My baby isn't really fussy but he does have his days. He falls asleep almost immediately whenever I put him in the wrap. He is now 6 weeks old and almost 5kg. I'm 5'2" and 57kg. I hardly feel his weight. Took me 2 days of practising to tie the wrap. Found the front cross carry a lot easier to tie. Takes me less than 5 minutes to tie it now.

Definitely not for everyone. I loved the idea, so I purchased one for my newborn but she hated it!
She didn't like how much it squished her and how she couldn't move at all, she would scream bloody murder every time she was in it. Changed her to the Bjorn and she was happy as pie.
It's also very very hard to put on, especially when you are alone, also found it hard to get bubs in it.
I tried selling it and no one would take it, I ended up having to give it to a friend for free. Waste of money if you ask me. I recommend trying it on with your baby first to see if you like it and if your baby is happy to be that squished against you.

Once you get the hang of tying the thing it's pretty easy to work. I wish I would have bought one when my son was younger, I purchased it when he was around 6 months and by that time he was wanting to look around and didn't want to face me. I bought it at that point as they say you can use them up until 4 years, he's now 13 months and theirs no way he'd sit in it.

I purchased a hug-a-bub after reading so many great reviews. We were rather late to purchase, bubs was 5 weeks and a big boy. He hated it, every time I used it he just cried. I can only guess as he was already so big it was not comfortable. We now purchased a different baby carrier which he loves, easy to use and falls asleep all the time in it.

Love that I can use the wrap for skin to skin/kangaroo care with new born. Wished I had thought to take to hospital when I had C-Section and was in hospital for a week. Skin to skin with a bit more security and coverage while family and staff were in and out of my room would have been lovely! The wrap is great. Love that I don't have to worry about chemicals and dyes because this product is organic! Buy two--one to use while you wash the other.
