ya, where do you tie it so you could sit down?
I'm hoping once baby belly is gone I will have enough fabric to tie in front. Or atleast to the side. Sitting against a knot isn't going to be fun.
I'm surprised at how easy it is to do, I say that of course with no infant to wrestle into it now 
mine ends up being tied on the side by my hip. And yes, once baby is here and your belly isn't in the way you will be able to tie it better without it being tied in the back. As far as infants....Jack never fought me to get in...I would put it on and hold him to my chest then pull it up around him...he loves that thing....still does!!!! He will instantly relax when he sees me pull it out. I used it up until about three months ago with him still, and he never fought me to get in it.

It won't really matter if you're an old pro or not. The tricky part in the beginning is to get it tied just the right tightness. But just keep trying and you'll get it. 
LOL...boy isn't that the truth!!!
Amber how about MeiTai....or THIS ONE....I want to make one of these sooooooooo bad!!! (can't wait til my mom brings her sewing machine in a few weeks and takes mine back to her repair guy to get fixed!!!). One thing I do hate sometimes about the Moby is all the extra fabric (esp once baby is out of the Kangaroo carry)

The problem with most of the carriers or wraps I see/like is how expensive they are!
Your telling me  Although the $115 I spent on my Beco has been entirely worth it! We use it almost every day.

Phooey to that! Levi was 15 pounds by 3 months old and we used it way longer than that, with no problem. I did have to branch out and learn different carries as he grew, but I could probably still use it on my back if I weren't pregnant and it wasn't 800 degrees. He's almost 30 pounds now.

I agree.....I use it with Emma even (who is right at 30lb now) and it still works great, but you have to do different holds. I have thought of getting another and cutting it down just for when they are older though cause I don't need as much fabric as I do with the main kangaroo type of hold with a little one...and the extra fabric can be annoying sometimes....but I still like it best. The only reason I can't use it now is not because of the carrier itself, or the weight of the kids, it's because of my HUGE belly getting in the way.
Ryanne...Paul wants to see that camo carrier you made...can you put a link to that pic?

I have a couple of friends who swear by their baby bjorns but only for the little babies..
I think that now that I've watched all the instructional videos on their site.. the Ergo baby carrier may be on my list of wanted carriers. geez.
Don't do it! They have some very, very cruddy business practices going on right now! I would suggest supporting one of the WAHM companies. (any of them, lol!)
I was thinking of getting an Ergo too. What is going on with them that is bad?
