he is a big baby though so i am not sure how long i will get to use it because i am sure he will soon be too heavey despite how big they say baby can be for it.
my baby is six months, and 22lbs, this sling is such a help with out it i wouldn't be able to carry him everywhere with me!
i prefer to carry my baby around with me and this makes it so much easier.
at first it may seem confusing, how to fold it, where to put the baby, etc, but you'll have it down with a little practice and then wonder how you ever thought it was hard.
i had to return the size 3 i purchased (it was too tight) for a size 4 (for a newborn).
great back and shoulder support for parents and it lets baby be forward facing.
i can usually take a nice long neighborhood walk with it just fine and i am small (5'2") and my baby is about 16 lbs.
we just got this last week and we went hiking with baby.
nice fit, i felt very comfortable that my baby was secure.
i really like carrying our baby around and this is one of my favorites, the other one is the peanut shell sling in black also :-).
I am a long time babywearer, but had mostly used homemade slings and wraps.
It was exactly what our friend's son and his wife wanted for their new baby.
My sister and I both got an Ergo after trying several other carriers including the Bjorn, Snugli and a sling.
We love this carrier.
After months of research I grudgingly shelled out the $105 for the Ergo, only to find major problems with the design: TOO HOT!
it is very easy to use, many carrying positions (8), can nurse my baby in it privately, very soft comfortable material, and it is comfortable on my back (it has a back support band that slides up and
my baby and i love this new baby carrier.
this is a fabulous baby carrier.
very comfortable for me and baby.
my baby ktan is so easy to wear and feels like a t-shirt.
it's so much easier to use than other types of baby carriers because you just slide baby in and out.
i found the peanut shell with this baby (mary ann) and have been using it since her birth 7 weeks ago.
i keep it on me the whole weekend so i can pop baby into the sling soon as we get out of the car, then pop him back out to put him on a shopping cart, pop him back in when we're checking out, without
this is a really great item for my newborn who fusses - if she won't nod off (or gets the hiccups), i carry her around in it and she always falls asleep.
i enjoyed using this while our baby was new, under 10 pounds.
carried my 10 month old baby in this sling at the airport for almost 2 hours due to delays.
she also likes the baby bjorn, but the hotsling lets her rest without having to hold her head up all of the time.
a very convenient way to have the baby with me while i do some things around the house, eat a meal or check my email.
i have a 3 week old baby who loves this sling.
too complicated to use; sent it back.
you can loosen the straps and even breast feed your baby in the carrier which is very convenient when out and about.
it is a lot like the older beco with no infant insert for tiny babies.
it really gives a lot of back support and is comfortable to use.
i knew once my husband went back to work, this would be a requirement for me if i was going to get anything done around the house.
pros: * easy to put on* baby can face in or out* adjustable buckles cons: * risk of hip displacement* limited use until baby is too heavy the bottom line: there are better baby carriers out there
i stopped using a regular sling with my baby when she reached about 20 lbs, because it was to uncomfortable.this carrier is easy to use.
it was very comfortable for my baby and not bad for me.
my baby loves it to..
sometimes daddy goes for a walk with the baby on his hip.
i needed to graduate my *large* baby from the bjorn rather young.
it's a good place for the baby to nap and to cover you up a bit when you nurse, once you figure that out.
my daughter loved it when she was a baby.
our baby loves her sling- and settles down immediatly after we put her in it.
it makes such a difference to try it on with baby because if it's too low it will be extremely uncomfortable.
i have a baby wrap that i've been using since he was born, which is nice, but it's kind of a process.
it is safe, easy to use, and comfortable for the parent and the baby.
this is the first backpack-type carrier i've owned so i can't really compare it to any other rear-carrier.
we bought a larger kelty child carrier when my older daughter was born and have loved it for hiking, but when we were preparing for a trip to london, we realized travelling with two strollers (or a
it's great for hiking, walking the dog and trips to the zoo!
it's great for both short and long hikes.
the backpack on the whole works very well; it is adjustable for both my husband and i as well as the baby.
we hiked in the rockies and our 14 month-old daughter loved being in this carrier!
so far i am using it to walk the dog for several miles at a time and on some light hikes, and it has been wonderful!
the baby bjorn worked fine while our daughter, now 14 months old, was small.
the first few times i used it my shoulders and back became very sore.
this is has been our most used baby product!
my baby is 7 months old and loves this product, he almost always goes to sleep or stays very serene and peaceful as soon as i start moving.
baby stays close and comfortable, and is a safe position to sleep in as an infant.
i was also able to nurse him while shopping!
this is a great product and comes in very handy when carrying and bonding with my baby and having a free hand to do other stuff.
it is one of the few baby carriers that fit people of tiny stature.
she loves riding on my back with it and will often fall asleep.
although i do like it, i don't love it for summer because the material is a little thick; my baby gets too hot in it, and so do i.
didn't find out about these until baby was 7 months old- wow i wish i had found it before.
We use it everyday, it's comfortable and our baby loves to be in it.
My baby is only 13 pounds and he's way too heavy for it.
I found this easier to use than a sling or pouch with my newborn and she seemed more comfortable than when in a structured carrier (B'jorn, etc).
The baby likes it- she sleeps well in it but we also both get very hot so I don't really wear it out.
The Peekaru is an excellent way to keep warm while wearing your baby!
the straps are comfortable and it is soft and comfy for the baby.
this is a good carrier except it is a little difficult to set baby up.
i purchased this carrier after registering for and receiving the parents of invention ultimate baby mei tai black reversible one-size-fits-all for my baby shower.
this is an excellent buy for anyone whose baby doesnot like the ride in the stroller.
highly recommend, particularly for second time mothers who need to carry their baby, and have free hands for their toddler all at the same time.
it's cozier than keeping my infant in his carseat carrier.
from newborn till toddlerhood we used this awesome carrier.
i got a hotsling after my baby was too heavy to use the bjorn.
he can look all around or nap snuggled up to me.
if you are to get one, make sure you go somewhere that you can try them on with your baby to make sure you know how to use it correctly and that your baby likes it.
i had a baby bjorn and couldn't use it for long because my back started to hurt too much.
my mom can't wear it when she babysits since she would be a different size.
this is a comfortable, convenient and best of all fashionable baby carrier.
it doesn't put too much pressure on your shoulder and allows normal back alignment when carrying a child on your hip.
i got the hotsling for my daughter who lives in germany she really likes the versatility for our new baby/ grandson when he is snuggled close to her body without feeling as if he might fall out.
