This is fairly easy to use – I’m rubbish with my hands but after watching the how to video I can get this on and the baby in it fairly easy. It’s useful for if you’re walking around with baby and don’t want to/can’t take the pram. This was useful after my C section as I couldn’t lift a pram or car seat but could carry my newborn in this. Whenever he is in the sling he falls asleep.
The sling is washable and comes in a little bag you can keep it in.
My daughter loves being in this and seems to be very supported and comfortable.
Fabric is strong and seems to be well made.
I wanted a sling as the weather is getting nicer and can’t really take a push chair on beaches or woodlands, I’ve used this around the house and used to pop to the corner shop definitely easier when you’re on your own to just Nip out. I’d give 5 stars but I’m quite petite and think it could do with being a little tighter or have an extra strap to support baby, but nevertheless it does support my little one and she she falls asleep in i
I researched different slings and this looked like it would be easy to use and I’m really glad in chose it. It’s really easy to get the hang of and my baby girl loves it and sleeps comfortably in it. Definitely recommend.
Perfect for the newborn stage, great value for money.
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!
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.
