Product reviews

I've found the papoozle really easy to put on and place my son into. The positions are also easily adjusted. At 4 months he is just over 16lb which means that after carrying him around for more than ten minutes my arms ache, however in the Papoozle I can comfortably carry him around on our 2 hour long walks.

I think the papoozle is an excellent carrier, especially for a sling novice who may find wraps a little daunting. The waist belt offers security and reassurance, as well as making the carrier easy to put on. The fabric makes the carrier comfortable without the need for an origami lesson like some wraps. It offers the best of both worlds, wraps and structured carriers. I can comfortably wear my 8 month old for hours and she is quite happy in it. I also find the extra fabric handy when you need a little extra support and I can imagine it would be great when wearing a tiny baby, though I've not tried it myself. Great sling and great buy!

The Papoozle is really clever sling and there is nothing quite like it on the market. I would describe it as a hybrid between an Ergo and the Kari-me. So you get the ease and convenience of the adjustable belt buckle with the versatility and comfort of fabric lengths to tie around your body, baby and waist. Because there is less fabric and less tying involved though, it's much simpler to put on that a normal wrap around. Would definitely make a great starter sling for someone who is keen to try wrapping but is put off by the lengths of fabric. You can put the sling on first and put baby in after so it's great for popping in and out of the car/shops etc. Baby can go on the front facing in or out comfortably. The only problem I found with a newborn is there wasn't enough head support and over a long period of time baby's head kept slipping down and I had to readjust the sling. Overall the Papoozle is incredibly comfortable and the extra padding in the shoulders is wonderful. Also the colours are delightful. Ignore some of the other anon reviews I think they are talking about something completely different!

I have two babies of carrying age so i was looking for a sling that i could use for either child and this does! I can carry my 11 week old baby either in a nursing carry or upright facing in or out and my 15 month old toddler can be carried on my hip. I can carry the baby for a whole day out and not feel strained at all, and the toddler can be carried for a fair lengh of time. Another good point is that as a plus size mum (20-22) with a very big bust, i found some slings too tight and restrictive but this one has plenty more adjustment so would fit a much bigger person with comfort.

I have washed mine several times and it washes well and will last for a few more babies yet!

In all i found it easy to use, comfortable and good value.

I have tried a lot of slings and carriers and this was by far the best! As a very busy Mam of three (4y, 2y and 5m) and not to forget the dog, I needed a comfy sling/carrier that both the other half and I could use. I always liked the idea of the long wrap around slings but they looked to scarey to use!!

I have used the papoozle since my son was about 2 weeks old. He is now nearly 5 months and he loves looking out. It is very versitile. I can even breastfeed hands free on the go.

He was a very clingy newborn and this saved my sanity!! I have my 2 year old in a single buggy and my son is on the sling. I have a bad back but find the waist band supports me well. I can carry him around all day in comfort. As will any new baby item it takes a few practises to get it right.

Lastly, its machine washable, a must for any baby item.

Fantastic carrier, thank you
