It is super simple and I used it 473827363 times a day! Couldn't have lived without it. sumer08 on "Was it difficult to get the hang of your Moby?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-it-difficult-to-get-the-hang-of-your-moby#post-738107 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 19:08:29 +0000 sumer08 738107@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I only used it a handful of times. I found it hard to put on, and I vividly remember being about 3 weeks PP and ending up in tears (crazy hormones!) because I couldn't get the hang of it.

I would definitely put it on before I left the house though.

It can be a pain. tororojo on "Was it difficult to get the hang of your Moby?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-it-difficult-to-get-the-hang-of-your-moby#post-738046 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 18:34:15 +0000 tororojo 738046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I didn't think it was too hard--I watched a video online (the one on thatwife's blog) and read the instruction book several times. And I practiced putting it on pregnant b/c I'm a visual learner...even though it didn't really fit around the bump! Got the hang of it pretty quickly, and I have tied it in parking lots, at the mall and in the car...you can do the first part sitting down if you don't want the ends touching the ground. birdofafeather on "Was it difficult to get the hang of your Moby?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-it-difficult-to-get-the-hang-of-your-moby#post-737075 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 12:41:42 +0000 birdofafeather 737075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ practice, youtube videos and more practice! i like it because it's more light weight than our boba, but it does take some work.

I was shown by a friend how to do it but never got one myself! immabeetoo on "Was it difficult to get the hang of your Moby?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-it-difficult-to-get-the-hang-of-your-moby#post-736974 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 12:05:29 +0000 immabeetoo 736974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I was more intimidated by just trying it, to be honest! Once I used it I was good to go. Just practicing the first few times was key!

I watched you tube videos and figured out how to make sure I got it to lay flat. Ditto to tying it high and tight. It only took a few practice tries to get it- do it near a mirror where you can see your back the first few times. It helped that the lo I used it for could be screaming bloody murder when I put he in but would calm down within thirty second of being put in, I felt calmer putting it on knowing I could calm her much faster once it was on properly.

That being said, I'm still going to invest in a K'Tan for #2 because I can't imagine investing that much time in getting a sling on and off with a 20 month old running around.

It was just so much more work to tie and put him in the thing! I have an Ergo, too, and with the infant insert, it was MUCH easier than the Moby. I'm gonna keep it and try it again round-two, I guess.

I haven't actually worn one so I'm sure it would still take me a while to get the hang of it, but the lady there showed us the basic tie and pointed out what I was doing wrong right away, which was really helpful. @bpcmarj: I have heard the biggest trick is to put it on at home, not the parking lot! I'm getting the baby k'tan, but will also be borrowing a Moby so we'll see which I like better. I like that the k'tan will never drag though so it seems better for doing on the run. bpcmarj on "Was it difficult to get the hang of your Moby?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-it-difficult-to-get-the-hang-of-your-moby#post-736656 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 10:38:53 +0000 bpcmarj 736656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Ditto to tying it nice and high and tight. The biggest thing that helped me is to tie it at home before we went somewhere so that I could just grab her out of the car and put her in instead of tying it in the parking lot somewhere. mrsjyw on "Was it difficult to get the hang of your Moby?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-it-difficult-to-get-the-hang-of-your-moby#post-736630 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 10:32:50 +0000 mrsjyw 736630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ ditto hilsy-- watched a youtube video that made it TONS easier. and key is wear it higher than your natural waistline! :) fits is so much better! hilsy85 on "Was it difficult to get the hang of your Moby?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-it-difficult-to-get-the-hang-of-your-moby#post-736621 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 10:31:05 +0000 hilsy85 736621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I watched a youtube video. After a few times, It was really easy! My advice would be to wear it higher and tighter than you would think to--another words, the fabric going across your stomach shoud be at belly button height or above, not around your hips. That ensures that LO is high enough on your chest. looch on "Was it difficult to get the hang of your Moby?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/was-it-difficult-to-get-the-hang-of-your-moby#post-736618 Tue, 23 Apr 2013 10:30:40 +0000 looch 736618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Kind of, because the tails dragged everywhere...until I realized I could lay out the entire thing along my sectional sofa!

I'm also very intimidated by it :) How did you get the hang of your Moby?
