I tried a couple of front carriers for our first child and was given this sling as a present with our second babe. Wish I had found it with our first, as it fits in with everything we do. It's like an extension of your body, giving you an extra arm when you need one and lets you be hands free. I really love it, because I can always see how babe is and she is very comfortable and happy in it. The padded base supports her brillantly. A real must have product. Highly recommended.

I have used the Baby-Bag for my child a year ago and am very happy with it. It can be used directly from birth, which is a great advantage. My baby always wanted to be close to his mummy, but sometimes I needed my hands to be free… This was the perfect solution.

I even used it in the sitting position when my son got older, this was very convenient when he needed to be carried when a stroller was not available, and was more comfortable than I expected. I used the Baby-Bag for almost a year, this was worth the money!

The Baby-Bag is a very well made and complete product; it has a mattress to support the baby, and practical pockets for a pacifier and more stuff.

I found out that there is a new design, with a padded shoulderstrap. I think this will increase the comfort enormously, and the top where the baby's head lies is more open. I am pregnant now, so I'm thinking of buying this new one for my new baby…

I got one of these the other day as I was looking for an easy to use sling at a reasonable price. This has been brilliant, I have been using a fabric sling which is not a patch on this. The premaxx sling is sturdy - my son is a large 11 month old and a real wiggler and it holds him really well. It's comfy to wear and doesn't need constant re adjusting which is a real bonus as I know on some other slings straps and buckles etc tend to slip. I just wish I had got my hands on this earlier as it would be perfect for newborns as it would really hold them in close to you. Hopefully get a lot more use out of this as it's proved a great product.

I bought a Premaxx Baby-Bag after my sister-in-law used one for her baby and raved about it. I had a very unsettled, collicky baby, which would scream when put down, I found by putting her in the sling and taking her for a long walk, whilst rubbing her back, she would very quickly settle into a comfortable sleep. Or if I didn't have this luxury of time and would carry her in the sling round the house whilst doing my chores. I found going shopping with her in the sling was so much more practical and secure than taking the buggy out and I could breast feed her very discreetly whilst not having to take her out of the sling. All in all my partner & I love this sling.

I used the Preamxx Sling for my first baby and now am using again for my newborn second. I've tried a mix of carriers and slings and really like this one because it has a padded base. This makes it feel more supportive than other slings and it's just great for breast feeding and simplicity of use. I really love it when we're out walking or shopping, because I can always see my baby and she's really happy in it. It only took a couple of go's to get it right and now I always make sure we have it with us where ever we go. Fantastic for babies from 4 months as well. It uses your body in the most natural way - you carry baby on hip but with bottom sitting in the padded base and the supported on his back, so it leaves you hands free. I was gutted when my son grew out of it at 20 months. Because it's all cotton you can pop it in the washing machine. It's been a completely positive experience for me.
