So for those of you who use the Carabiner instead of wearing their MB on their Wrist, what are some of the pros and cons? Personally I see the wristband as being so much easier but I'm getting a lot of pro/con feedback.
 
I dislike wearing a MB. The carabiner is easy and doesn't leave a tan line. ;)
 

I use either/or depending on what clothes I'm wearing. If I'm wearing something with loops, I'll use the carabiner. I find it easier to just unclip that and hold it up to the machines or CMs instead of trying to twist myself to get my wristband in the right spot. Since most of my clothes don't have any kind of loops, more often than not I wear the wrist band.
 
I used the carabiner last year, attached to a pull chord. clipped to my belt loop. pull it out to scan, then it retracts itself. I just don't like wearing any kind of jewelry or wrist band....

I might do the same. I already use a pull chord at work as I have to use my clock card to open doors, so I’ll just take that with me.
 
I didn't know these existed until I was looking for a new magicband. I think this will be loads better with the kids then the bands. I also had my band fall off on a ride. I'm def. going to switch to carabiner.
 
I never wear jewelry (well, except for my wedding ring), but I love wearing the magic band around my wrist. I just feels like I'm in Disney when I'm wearing that bracelet.
 
My kids put their carabiner on a lanyard and it's much better since both have lost magic bands off their wrists in the past. No lost lanyards yet!
 
There is a shop on Etsy that has different varieties of the carabiners. If you search for "Magic Band Buddy", it should bring up their products. Just be aware that you will need to also order the small screwdriver if you don't already have one.
