| I love this sling! I tried the Hotsling first and hated it--my son is a big guy for his age and getting him in was a struggle, and then he would be curled into a little ball because it was so cramped. Now, at two months and 25 and 3/4 inches long, he can still ride in the cradle carry when he wants a nap close to me. Great for carrying him around when he needs to be bounced but my arms are tired. We're still getting the hang of doing chores with him in it, but at least my arms are free to eat a snack. Easier on my back than the Baby Bjorn. Very easy to adjust, put on, and get baby into. My husband will wear it around the house because it is all black and relatively gender neutral, although he prefers the Baby Bjorn. |
LOVE THIS SLING

| This sling is perfect, so comfortable to wear. And more important, my daughter loves it. I've been carrying her in this since she was two weeks old, and as soon as I slide her in there she falls asleep. Great product for everybody. |
Glad I Bought this Product, Comfy

I recieved this product yesterday. I tested it out with my 2 month old boy as soon as I opened it. He immediately calmed down once in the pouch. I didn't realize at first that you need to wear the sling high on you. You need to be able to easily kiss your baby's forehead. It's the biggest thing Dr. Sears urges for this product, having learned that from watching one of his YouTube Safety videos. But it doesn't highlight that in the directions. The adjustable strap is only so long, but if you need to get the carrier higher on you (for you more petite peeps) it is perfectly fine to pull more fabric through the rings to get it as comfortable as possible for you and your baby. (Don't adjust strap while baby is in sling to prevent pinching.) He seems to mello out every time I place him in the sling. His neck is still unstable so I do keep one hand over his neck when moving around with it, atleast until he's a little older.
I love the design. Very fashionable and cute. I purchased the solid black color to savor my husband's masculinity for when he uses it, but I really do love the colorful ones with those beautiful patterns. Not to say that the black isn't cute and sleek in it's own right, because it is. The material is soft and the shoulder pad is thick and comfy.
Another thing I love about it is that unlike the other carrier I have(Infantino Front2Back Rider), with this one I can get him out of the sling easily and very quickly. A concern of mine was that I have chronic back problems, but surprisingly with this product my baby seems light and it doesn't agitate my back whatsoever. And the rings do not dig into my shoulders like I have seen on other reviews. Wearing the sling high and correctly should take care of those problems--be sure to read all the instructions before using. (There are demonstration videos on YouTube for how to place your baby for each type of carry. The manual instructions are good, but it's even more helpful to SEE t done.) Overall, I like this product and am glad I bought this one and not another brand or type of sling. I look forward to using it in the coming months. |
the best sling ever!

| I am a mother of four and this is so helpful. I am a petite person and most things don't fit me very well, this sling however fits me perfectly. Grocery shopping with a 2-year-old and a 1-month-old is a challenge, but using the sling has helped greatly. I don't have to worry about the car seat taking up space in the shopping cart. My baby loves to be snuggled up close to me. He feels safe and secure, he curls up and falls asleep. The only bad thing is after about an hour my shoulder does get a little sore, but I'm sure once I build up some muscle it will get better. The sling is better than the other carriers I've used, because it doesn't put pressure on my abdomen--I had to deliver all my babies via c-section so to me this a very important key factor. The sling is durable and comfortable. This is an important part of my daily life and I hope other parents will read this review and give this sling a chance!! I recommend this to all parents. |
