breathable fabric cons: a little on the pricey side the bottom line: a great product to use to carry your baby.
the only reason i gave it 4 stars is becuase it is a little difficult to manuever baby in and out.
the adjustments are easy to make and the product, once you get the hang of it, is easy to use with baby.
this product keeps both the baby and the wearer cool and comfortable.
i used to have one of the original baby bjorn carriers with the snaps, but the new design of this one makes it much easier!
my baby wants to be held nonstop and this product has been wonderful for us.
and used it when my baby was only a few days old.
i love that i can totally cover my baby to make it dark adn quiet so he can nap while i carry on with life.
i practiced in the house and around the neighborhood a couple of times to find out how to tie it and the best position for my baby.
i was a major skeptic when it came to baby wearing/wraps but after 7 weeks at home with a colicy baby with reflux and an active and very jealous 3 year old, i was getting desparate!
this product was recommended to me by several medical practitioners so i of course opted for it over the baby bjorn or popular sling.
my son was too small for baby carriers like the bjorn at birth so i tried the moby wrap and we love it.
mom has found it to have a more natural feeling/carrying position and less painful on the back than the baby bjorn.
i received a different carrier and both me and my baby hated it.
this takes a little bit of getting use to, but it is by far the least complicated thing that i have for my baby.
there are so many things i love about this sling - flexible fabric that cuddled my baby when he was only a few days old...and long lasting (he is now 18 months old and i use it to carry him on my hip)
he was a colic baby and the only way i could get him to sleep was by putting him in our peanut shell.
they have just the right amount of stretch to grow with baby.
i have a colicy 8 week old baby and i haven't got anything done around the house b/c of him needing to be held all the time.
as for the product itself, yes it looks strong enough for a baby to be held up right without having him/her look as if she is ready to fall out like cheap brands.
we even took it on a 3-hour hike once and our baby was so comfortable and slept the whole time.
i have used it for shopping hands free, for hiking with the baby, and for getting things done around the house.
i recieved the bjorn as a gift and it is one of the most benifical product in my collection of baby essentials.
this is a great product i used it with both of my kids and have it stored for baby number three.
it's comfortable without pulling on your back and allows you full control of your baby.
i always put my baby in it to grocery shop, which takes at least an hour each time (we walk to the grocery store and back).
with the moby, weight is more evenly distributed (across shoulders and back) and it is the most comfortable way of carrying baby i've found.
yes, this is a positive review and i told you that i loved it so...then i figured out that because it is the perfect length and width of fabric you can make up your own positions and "tie" your baby
it's better than the bjorn style because baby is snuggled right up to you.
but i was still afraid to put baby in it.
i used it on a hike with my other kids and my baby was very happy and comfortable and so was i!
i recommend it to everyone with a baby or toddler.
i haven't tried this particular mei tai, but i'm so excited to see target getting carriers that are better for baby's spine and mom's back!
much sturdier, more durable and supportive than less structured or unpadded mei tais, and a third of the price of my babyhawk!
my daughter is 2 and a half months old and weighs 13 lbs i tired a sling and hated it i liked the baby bjorn but even the one with the lumbar supprt hurt my shoulders.
in all i would say this is a pretty great product considering it is inexpensive compared to other brands.i did find that when my baby was about a month old and i took her out with me on a shopping
i have no doubt that this product would be able to handle a baby up to 26 pounds, but i wouldn't want to put that sort of strain on my shoulders.
it was so nice to have my little boy near me and not worrying about carrying and balancing a heavy carseat (especially after my c-section!) or using the baby seats in the shopping carts.
my baby is 4 months now and loves to go along with me when i water the lawn, go to the store and even grandma loves it too.
i put this carrier on my baby registry and was given it as a gift at my shower.
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).
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.
however, i think the baby ktan baby carrier is quickly becoming my favorite.
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 :-).
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.
i bought this when my son was 11 months old because he was getting too heavy to carry but my stroller and hiking backpack were both too cumbersome for many places.
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.
i sing "goin bye byes" from baby clean fun (www.babycleanfun.com) to my 8 month old as i load her in the carrier to take a walk.
it is one of the few baby carriers that fit people of tiny stature.
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.
(bending over is a little hard to do unless you place one hand on the baby)and nursing is really not practical, other than that it is absolutely perfect!
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.
i tried another sling before this one, and my baby hated being in it most of the time and it was really uncomfortable for me too.
