I've been using this carrier for about three months with my son who is now 6 months old and weighs about 16 pounds. The best features of this carrier are: - the hip is the perfect position for a baby 4-6 months old, because it lets him see what you're doing and be involved, but places his increasing weight on your hip. Much more comfortable than a sling for long periods of time, and okay for a child who can't yet sit up on his own. from Amazon.com This carrier fastens on with a strap that goes around your hips and another one that goes from one top corner of the fabric (that the baby sits in) around your other shoulder, and over to the other top corner. You've got to keep that piece of fabric from twisting while you juggle your baby and fling it around behind your back, up over your shoulder (where it's supposed to cup comfortably) to fasten him on. from Amazon.com I am torn as to how high to rate this product. I like the functionality of it, as it is way better than other hip carriers I have tried but the fabric faded after first wash - so it's still comfy and functional but it now looks like it's years old! Pros: from Amazon.com I LOVE this hip carrier!!! I was saddened when my daughter outgrew the cradle and kangaroo positions of our sling and I wasn't comfortable with her in the hip carry position in a regular sling. from Amazon.com We started out with a Baby Bjorn after my son was born that a relative gave us. It was fine for the first few months but, once he hit 17 lbs the shoulder pain was just out of control. We did a bunch of research online and found lots of positive reviews for the Ellaroo Mei Hip. I ordered it and have truly never looked back. from Amazon.com I've used this carrier a few times now to hold my 5mo old, 16.5 lb daughter and it works very well. It is a strong, well made product. I don't experience any back, hip, neck or shoulder discomfort when holding my daughter with this carrier. My daughter seems to like it too and enjoy being carried close to mommy like this. from Amazon.com I wanted a hip carrier for my 1 yr. old daughter who had outgrown her baby bjorn. from Amazon.com He was still within the weight restrictions for the front carrier, but there was too much of a strain on my back. I still wanted to be able to carry him around and yet have some use of my hands. The first time I used this hip carrier, he loved it and so did I. It was very comfortable and I no longer felt any strain on my back. from Amazon.com I have been pleased with this product primarily because it is easy to strap on in order to do quick errands instead of strapping Baby in the stroller. If your baby is not a cuddler, it might be a bit more challenging because she/he will be very close against you. It swivels from hip to front, which is helpful too. from Amazon.com The Mumbai print is much more beautiful in person. The pinks are very pretty, fresh, and sophisticated with the dark brown and tan colors. I thought the print would be sort of sedate and not that fun, but it's actually very hip and cute. from Amazon.com
