Lovely sling really easy to use and wash. Little one seems comfortable in it, more so that more modern style baby carriers that I had with my first. Am able to move around easily and play with toddler while wearing newborn. Would recommend.
Really easy to use, fabric super soft and does not scratch. Baby loves cuddling in and mam likes free hands to get some jobs done. We used the demonstration video to learn quicker how to put on and it was super easy.
This is absolutely amazing and totally worth the investment. My little one fells asleep in 5 mins and loves it. It’s soft, cosy and very easy to put on (unlike the other bands it literally wears as a T-shirt). 100% recommend. I did a lot of research before buying and also tried a few ones this is far the best.
I love this wrap and so does my baby, she settles really well in it and it means I can get some house work done. Great design and secureness I have already recommended to a few family and friends
I have tried wraps before, but as this one seems to be a ‘pre made’ wrap and it goes over your head like a teeshirt, so so easy to use when you get the hang of it. When my little one is unsettled, I pop it on, pop him into it and settle him easily, he falls asleep almost instantly and I even cooked dinner before with him in it. Went to a zoo and walked the day wearing my baby. It’s what I go to if I need to hold him and do something at the same time. So glad I found this wrap. It’s comfortable when fitted properly, not too tight, not too loose. Instructions are good to understand. Still I needed some practice to use it but I’m now a pro! I would really recommend this wrap to any parents I know. When I was walking a lot wearing it, my back didn’t get sweaty. Baby had a lot of air pockets and it was a win win for us.
Quick to get used to and baby is super secure once in. Been using it since our son was 1 week old and it’s brilliant for walks, shopping etc where you might need your hands free or where it’s not practical for the pram. Plus our baby loves it and is often fast asleep within minutes of him being in it.
Nice item, perfect for my newborn who likes to be with me always. I usually put her in it over the bed as it can be bit fiddly if you have a wiggly baby
I was unsure about using a sling, I chose this one based on the fact that you can put it on similar to a t shirt, this made it so easy, no complicated wrapping.
It’s one of the few purchases I would very highly recommend, calms baby quickly and not too much pressure on my own back. Also has handy pocket. Feels very secure and baby enjoys 5
Purchased this as a gift for mum to be. She was very pleased with the product and found it easy to use and baby seems very content and happy whilst using it.
This is a must have! Absolutely perfect and easy to use. Bought it as my little one is clingy and I can’t get anything done with one hand but other slings or carriers are to big for her (she only weighs 2kg). She falls asleep so quickly and leaves me free to do what I need to. It is a little pricey but it saves faffing around with wrapping. Slip it over your head, adjust, position baby inside and for extra support wrap the band around. Perfect for bonding with baby and getting chores done. Highly recommended
Seems to have gone down well as a baby shower gift. I chose this over others as it seemed to be easier to use without assistance, rather than just a long piece of stretchy cloth
Bought this for our baby who is suffering Colic – Making lying down very uncomfortable for him.
With this we can keep him upright while he sleeps which helps reduce the impact of mucus and the side effects of Colic. He loves the carrier and falls asleep almost as soon as he goes in.
It’s easy to set up just a case of pulling it over your head. My only concern was with the back support piece that ties underneath baby’s bottom, I was concerned it might be too tight across baby’s legs when tied but you really don’t have to tie it that tight for it to support the baby.
I am able to get jobs done round the house while holding our little one in this and I would highly recommend, I’m so glad I chose this type of carrier rather than one that you have set all up everytime.
The side rings work perfect and are stable so they never come undone.
I like the idea of this but I’ve not managed to get the baby in the optimum position each time I put it on. I’m very petite and I’m not sure if it’s the best fit for me. Baby does look somewhat snug and does dose off. I think practice makes perfect and will try agai
I’m going to mention the downside first – personally, I struggled to get my baby in and out of the sling by following the instruction booklet method, and I just couldn’t get him to sit right in it. However, once I researched other slings in a similar style, and found a different way to put my baby in, this sling became an absolute dream!
I knew my head wouldn’t be able to fathom wrapping, so this is the best of both worlds – you have the feeling of a wrap sling, without the hassle! The sling is really comfortable and supportive, is easy to adjust, and it washes and tumble dries really well – you just have to allow for the fact that it will feel tighter when it first comes out, and the metal rings need some time to cool down, even when using the low temperature setting.
What’s useful to know if you’re considering buying this, is that if like me you don’t want the strap to be too tight on baby’s head, the carrier will allow you to decide how tight or how loose you want to have it, withiur cimpromising on safety, which is great, just keep in mind less tight means if baby falls asleep you may want to keep a hand on their little head (or tighten up, I personally feel baby is more comfortable when there is a little bit of room).
I love this baby carrier and definitely recommend it: it’s perfect if you’re considering what to get and are not sure whether to go for something rigid or for a sling, as this is the perfect compromise: as many have said, it is soft and comfy for the baby, so they’ll likely love it, and it’s super easy to put on without need for help. Just buy it, you won’t regret it!
I really love this carrier, its fit me since day 1 postpartum and i’m a size 22/24, its really stretchy, and baby loves being in it. If you haven’t used a wrap before then it’s tricky the first time trying to figure out how baby actually goes in the wrap, it took me a few tries to get him in there correctly, once he was in right though it was really comfy and he went to sleep within a few minutes, and he has done every time I’ve used this. I wear the wrap almost every day to do household chores and have recently started using it outside the house to go round shops. I much prefer this to a normal baby carrier but in contrast my boyfriend prefers a normal baby carrier to this, so make sure you know what you like!
A bonus with this is when correctly adjusted I don’t get back pain, my little one was 4kg at birth, and is now 5kg and it’s still pain free, I also used this straight after a c section as it doesn’t sit near the incision and I feel it doesn’t put any additional pressure on it either.
This sling is sooooo easy to put on, you can do it quickly by yourself (even with a crying baby!) Literally, it is so quick and easy and completely uncomplicated, exactly what you need it to be. Then once it is on baby slots in nicely. Our son is so comfortable in it, it holds him in position well and feels totally safe. For me, it has seen the return of my sanity as I now have hands free to wash and sterilise bottles, do some household chores and more importantly sit down and eat some lunch! For our son, it pacifies him as he is held close to me, keeps him comfortable and safe and allows him to fall asleep peacefully.
Thankyou Koala, you have created a real winner!!
If you are looking for a sling, I promise you, you won’t be disappointed in this one.
Not for my baby, she didn’t liked it at all . Tried several times but she cried after a few minutes. ( FYI yes I used it right based on the instructions) Not that comfort for my back the few times I tried it. The company offered me a cushion at that time but lost access to emails so didnt get it, so really great customer service.
2023 Update: My second baby loved it so charging review to 4 stars. I traveled with this and managed to feed whilst on it with no issues, really helpful when on hurry to catch a flight, but also wear it at home to settle him down as he’s a bit colicky. Really glad I kept it!
Will be looking on their other products as well!
From a more detailed view, I needed something to help me carry my baby (6 months old) due to living with a widespread and severe fibromyalgia (particularly affecting my back, hips, knees and arms/hands), I needed something to aid me holding my baby as comfortably as possible. I needed lightweight and easy to get on with minimal knot tying/clasps/buttons etc. If the product could also be worn by my husband that was a bonus.
When born, I used a kangaroo care top which I loved as it held her close and took much of the weight off my hands. She’s now longer and heavier and while she fits in the top, she is really too long for it so I was looking for something to wear over my own clothes and grow with her. We have an ergobaby carrier which fits my husband but feels to too bulky on my shoulders and I cannot get the back clips done up on my own and it’s also very padded and hot for baby as we come into summer. Slings look comfortable but the formation of wrapping fabric would be difficult for me and I’d be concerned at tying secure knots.
I’d seen an ad for a wrap and thought it was an ideal mix between the sling and bigger carriers. The one I saw was literally two loops of fabric so needed to be perfectly fitted to the wearer so whilst it was best for ease of use it would be no use for my husband and I to both use. It was also 60 so would be a lot for us both to buy one. That’s when I found this product!
This was 30 so half the price of the other one. It comes with a ring pull tightening system so it’s easy for me to use and feels very secure. I’ve not found it to loosen at all when wearing the wrap. It means both my husband and I can wear comfortably (I’m 5’8 size 12 and he is 6’2 and a large T-shirt size). So easy to get on, breathable fabric and cooler and comfortable for baby. Love the additional pocket piece for convenience to place of small items but also as an additional support to baby – this does need a knot tied around but as it’s not the main part holding baby, I’m not fearful of it loosening and compromising baby security. I’ve worn the wrap both with and without this extra part and even without, she feels secure.
The back padding is comfortable even with my condition. I wanted something that could make holding my baby as comfortable and least painful as possible – I’m always going to have a backache but this wrap means I’m able to hold her for longer and more comfortably in terms of back pain and without getting additional pain in my hands/arms. Also leaving hands free to manage another task if needed. I don’t think there is any product on the market which would eliminate pain for those of us with physical difficulty so it’s more about what can be used as an aid – this ticks all my boxes and had been a massive help already.
I noted comments before I bought about concerns using with a baby over 12 weeks. My baby is 6 months and weighs over a stone. She’s not particularly big for her age but also not super small. I find she fitted in this so well, both my husband and I felt she was as secure as in the big bulky carrier. When bending over, I’d always use a hand as added support on her back for safety sake but I generally feel I will be able to use this as she gets bigger and older as it’s flexiable with fitting.
Really really pleased I purchased! I hope this review is helpful for anyone else like me, whose looking for a product not just for style but for a complicated set of needs that’s not easily catered for on the baby market.
