I bought this sling with the hopes of getting more done around the house. It is comfortable for me while wearing it definitely. My baby is not sure if she likes it though, sometimes she goes to sleep in it right away, and sometimes she cries and doesn't like it. It might just take a bit more time for her to get used to it. I like the ease of getting her in and out of it compared to wraps. -- Good buy
I really wanted to like this sling but my daughter isn't too fond of it and she squirms around so much that I'm afraid she will fall out (even when using the sling I hold her the same way I would if she wasnt in it). When she was a very newborn we were able to use it and she didn't mind but at about 4 weeks it was over. I am keeping my fingers crossed that maybe she will come around (she's 4 months) but I think we are going to have to buy a traditional carrier where she can easily see and move her limbs around a bit more freely. Also I think I would feel better having her in something a bit more secure so I can do housework (like vacuuming and laundry) and hold her at the same time. The sling is pretty (we have the black and white one) and I am glad so many people like the sling, it was great when my baby was a newborn.. maybe if we would have put her in it more often she would like it now... I'm also short someone mentioned that it doesn't work as well with short people.(I'm 5'2).
Overall, I would get this as a secondary carrier (if you find your baby loves to be bundled and cuddled) because even if your baby doesn't like the traditional one at least you don't have to worry about them squirming their way out of it and potentially harming themselves. Best wishes with your little ones! -- not so great for super squirmy babies
I bought this product for my grandson, but his mother has yet to use it, so I don't know how well they like it. -- Bought this item for my grandson
