Hipster carrier for my baby?

After one full day of considering! And getting enough of my nonsense, Hoo decided to go expo with me again. But this time we bring baby there to try on the hipster! I have me howling around Pognae & I-Angel counters! Can't make up my mind which to get. Of cos was scolded and given black face by HOO!

Pognae hipster carrier
1) 3 ways carrier and all can be facing inward & outward
2) breathable Ballistic Nylon material.
3) Hood attached to carrier & have a pocket to store when unused.
4) Come with a side sling

I-Angel hipster carrier
1) 2 ways carrier facing inward & outward
2) Material 100% cotton
3) Detachable cover on hot weather for more breathable
4) Detachable sleeping hood

 

Pognae vs I-Angel -> my own opinion as I have been running to both the counters to try on and compare!

What I like about Pognae
-Breathable nylon for hot weather like Singapore as it also easy to maintain, if dirty just wipe with wet cloth. And easily dry up  compared to cotton.
- Sleeping hood is attached to the carrier & can be kept in it's own zip pocket provided if unsuded.
- 2 Velcro tapes in both ends of the connection of the hipseat & carrier after zip up. I feel it double safe at least.

What I dislike about Pognae
-Overall the material abit rough for our skin when come into contact with.
-The extra side sling is such a distraction & extra add on and I am so tempted to get it at first & with the price quite close to I-Angel, but think about it, I will hardly use it as u still need to support baby using one of your hand and I feel unsafe to sling baby this way. Most mummies would prefer to sling/ carry your precious with the most safest & comfortable way right?
- The strap is hard to adjust/ tighten the whole carrier when baby is in it. As you need to pull upward or adjust the clip first then place your baby in. Unless someone is helping you to pull the strap upward when baby is in it!
- The buckle for the strap to click will protrude out when u carry baby. So i always feel it will hurt baby's arm when baby rest his arm on it when facing outward. Even facing inward, if he turn alot of his head to look outside like mine does, i also scare the hard buckle will hurt his neck/face. Maybe I am too paranoid.

What I like about I-Angel
- 100% cotton really make me & baby feel confortable..
- Detachale cover can be remove if necessary.
- The chest strap sew with small piece of cotton which I feel not so painful for baby to rub against the strap if their hands was kept inside.
- The strap can be easily tighten/ adjust by pulling downward when baby is sitted in it without any help from others.

What I dislike about I-Angel
- Sleeping hood did not attached to carrier & wihout a zip pocket to keep it, unlike Pognae. Personally I don't like as i'm a careless person & still need to find some place to store it and what if I lost it?
- 100% cotton indeed is more comfy, but with such hot weather in SG baby & ourselves will tend to prespired alot outside, and when it's wet, will slightly take longer time to dry up and might have sweaty smell. Unless we are in airconditional places, then all mentioned above will not take place :)
- Only one button to secure the hipseat & carrier after the zip up. But like the staff said, if the zip/ velcro tape gonna give way or spoilt, even both end with button also useless! So, it's up to us to decide.
