although i had to make a couple of very minor adjustments to the pack (i added a little padding to the seat and protective fleece wraps to the child shoulder straps), i was off and walking with our
this one had good padding and straps and is padded all around.
sturdily built, but with enough padding where it is needed.
there is a place for my cell phone right on the shoulder straps and the padding for the parent in the shoulder and back area is superb.
plenty of padding and good lumbar support.
i used the over the shoulder baby holder with my first child and liked it a lot except for the excessive padding.
(i can even fold it up in my pocket, for use during our walks!) nom more hot padding, rings that slip and backaches!
only thing with this sling is that you must be careful not to bump the baby as there is no padding anywhere.
i researched all types of slings and finally settled on this one because i didn't want to mess with padding or an adjustable tail.
this is a great sling and the only one i know of that you don't have to fiddle with rings and padding.
many other brands have buckles in front of your baby's belly that are pinchy and have no padding at all.
the back padding to excellent and waist belt can pulled extremely tight and also very comfortable with plenty of padding.
the only negative i've found so far is that i wish the waist belt had a little more padding in the back like some of the more expensive carriers.
my 8 month old loves it because of the great padding.
the build quality, padding, zipping, and all that doodaddy stuff seems comparable on the two models.
great padding.
the padding is substantial and similar to what you'd see on a higher end internal frame backpack.
we had been using our baby bjorn, but it was starting to hurt our backs and especially our shoulders, and the padding got lumpy after i washed it.
third, there's no weird padding to make me look even bulkier than my post-partum body already is.
i wish they would add more padding to the back support on this carrier, and then i would gladly give it 5 stars!!
it has a perfect amount of padding, my daughter is always happy to be in it and is very comfortable.
the only thing i don't like about it is that it's getting warmer outside and with the padding i get a little sweaty where the carrier sits (the small of my back and my shoulders.) :(
this carrier has padding that is very comfortable for baby but not too warm (we even used it in hawaii), and it is the most comfortable (by far) for me, the parent to wear.
it's also slightly less comfortable for a really long haul because the padding on the straps isn't quite as good as the snugli's.
nice padding, feels very well built, like it will last awhile.
the elasticized padding on the top rails closes over baby's face and can cause rebreathing of air inside the carrier and suffocation against side of sling.
the padding on the strap is nice.
