We definitely agree that the Close Caboo is less daunting to most new sling users than a stretchy wrap. It allows me to keep baby close to my body while giving me the freedom to move about the house, have a cup of tea and get some chores done!

It just depends on the individual – once you know how to tie a wrap it’s never as hard as you’d think, and sometimes the two-part design of the Caboo seems more complicated than a simple wrap.

With its soft, supportive and lighter fabric, the Close Caboo Lite baby carrier is incredibly comfortable to wear and so easy to use with no tying needed. But there's certainly no compromise on quality - the Lite range is currently our most popular and best selling selection in the range.It holds your baby high up on your chest, which gives her a sense of security without restricting your movement, and provides lumbar support for you and your little one. While others find that the narrower width makes it harder to spread the material out across the shoulder or flip material over at the shoulder to keep it away from baby's face. It has the natural feel of a fabric sling while giving extra support similar to something like an ergo baby carrier. They also examine the carrier to see if it has choking hazards and trailing cords that could pose a risk. Of the Caboo’s five positions, Katie is already too big for the foetal hold, and she doesn’t like the inward-facing position either, seeming too restricted.

There is also a lot more material on the Organic, each length is 48 cm (19 inches) wide verses a width of only 38 cm (15 inches) on the NCT.We test this by using a 15kg test dummy and jolting it up and down to replicate movement by the baby and parent. The Caboo is ideal for wearing around the house, allowing me to get jobs done while keeping Katie close, and she likes feeling involved in what I’m doing.
