| Carrying your baby is an important part of their growing up. They learn
love, security, and about you, all through the simple process of being held
close to you. In this busy, western culture, parents rarely carry their child
around in their arms. This is where a good baby carrier is invaluable. Baby
can be on close contact with you whilst you carry on doing many of the things
you need to do. But in order to do this for any length of time - you must
be comfortable, your baby must be comfortable, and the carrier must allow
you to be truly "hands free".
The HUG A BUB is not your typical baby carrier. It is
a wrap-around, soft cotton baby sling. Its unique
design means that:
-
It holds your baby close to your heart
-
Your baby's weight is distributed inwardly throughout your torso, rather
than dragging down form your shoulder muscles. This makes it possible to
carry babies for long periods without back or shoulder ache.
-
It reduces compression on your baby's spine, which is a concern often associated
with many front pouch carriers.
-
It offers total head and neck support for newborn, premature or sleeping
babies.
-
Because you tie the wrap yourself to fit both baby and you, it will always
be the perfect fit, even for premature babies, and even as your baby grows.
The HUG A BUB is made from 100% cotton in a simple wrap
around style. Being 100% cotton it is also very practical.
It can be machine washed, just like a T-shirt, and
placed in the dryer if needed. It is light, yet strong,
and breathes to prevent overheating. When not in use,
it folds into it's own pouch and folds into a small,
lightweight item to carry, meaning you will always
have it with you when it is needed, rather than sitting
somewhere in a wardrobe.
 It has been
made to strict safety standards and is recognized for its safety by
physiotherapists, child care professionals and midwives, and is in use in
special care nurseries in some hospitals. One of its greatest features is
the way it spreads the weight of the baby across wide shoulder straps, crossing
over across the back for best back support, and low down on the hips. This
means the weight of your baby is spread down your entire back and hips. No
more shoulder ache.
 In short, it
offers the optimum of safety, security and freedom of movement. In addition,
it is truly a "hands free" carrier, meaning that you can carry your baby
and still continue with necessary activities. Baby feels close, even when
you are busy. It is also one of the most secure and supportive of baby carriers
available on the market. Your baby is held in close by the wrap design. There
are no belts or buckles that may break. It is possible to bend completely
over without fearing that your baby may fall out. This may not be the cheapest
baby carrier you will ever buy, but it will be the only one.
| Infinitely more comfortable
I received my hug-a-bub in the mail yesterday, and I just wanted to thank
you – it´s absolutely fantastic!! I have two other types of carrier
– a Baby-Bjørn and a sling like the one William Sears uses –
and I must say the hug-a-bub is infinitely more comfortable! I can´t
wait to tell other moms about it – I don´t see how anyone can do
without it! Thank you!

Because your baby feels close to you when it is placed inside
the HUG A BUB, it is an ideal way to pacify
a distressed baby. It can also be used for comfortable
and discrete breastfeeding, with either a horizontal
or vertical position being available depending on
your breast and baby size. (See Peapod position below).
There are four recommended positions that your child can be carried in the
HUG A BUB, which together cover a full range of preferences, needs and age
ranges:
| 1. The peapod. This is a horizontal position, great for breastfeeding
and sleepy newborns. Ideal for premature through to 4 months |
|
 |
| 2. Heart to Heart. This is a vertical chest-to-chest position, which
gives closeness and security and is wonderful for bonding, settling babies,
and relieving symptoms of colic and reflux. It is most suited for babies
from premature to 18 months of age. |
|
 |
| 3. Koala Cuddle. This is a variation of the heart to heart, which allows
older babies to have their upper body free from the straps, giving them some
freedom. Straps can be easily slid back over their shoulders should extra
support be needed. Suitable for 4 months through to 3 years. |
|
 |
| 4. On the Go. This is a face out, vertical position, which is great for
an active baby which wants to see the world. As the baby's weight is not
brought into your body so well, it is best used for shorter periods. Also,
this position should only be used once a baby can support their own head.
Suitable for 4 - 12 months of age. |

The HUG A BUB comes in a range of colours and sizes.
SIZING:
HUGGABLE
This is definitely the most popular size of all,
a versatile size that fits the majority of HUG
A BUB wearers. It is suitable for a women's size
8 up to size 18 and a mens size small up to XL. (If
you are near the end of the size range and tall, you
may need the next size up).
VERY HUGGABLE
This larger size is suitable for very tall people
or for those very huggable people that wear womens
18-22 or mens XXL clothing. If there is a reasonable
difference in partner size, with one partner being
HUGGABLE and the other being VERY HUGGABLE, we recommend
that you buy the HUGGABLE size, as it is easier for
it the HUG a BUB to be a little short (being
tied around the back) for one, than too long (with
metres of extra material) for the other.
EXTREMELY HUGGABLE
This size is suitable for HUG A BUB wearers
who are sized womens 22 plus or men XXL plus. If one
partner is HUGGABLE and the other needs EXTREMELY
HUGGABLE, we recommend that you buy one of each size.
Both the VERY HUGGABLE and EXTREMELY HUGGABLE sizes
are available as a special order. If either of these
sizes are needed, please write the size wanted in
the comments box of the order. Otherwise, it will
always be assumed that HUGGABLE is being ordered.
The VERY HUGGABLE and EXTREMELY HUGGABLE are ordered
direct from the manufacturer, so small delays may
be necessary.VERY HUGGABLE and EXTREMELY HUGGABLE
colour availability will vary from time to time. Please
select your first preference, and we shall contact
you if this is not available.
COLOURS AND STYLES:
The HUG A BUB comes in four styles:
POCKETLESS HUG A BUB
This is the ideal product for those who want all the
benefits of the HUG A BUB but need a budget
price. It has all the advantages and features of the
standard HUG A BUB except that it doesn't have
the front pocket. This means that the design is only
one tone (rather than two toned) and that it cannot
be rolled into it's own carry bag. As far as comfort,
quality and practicality, it is exactly the same we
expect from the standard HUG A BUB.
