I tried several other slings - ring slings, harness-type ones etc - and COULD NOT get comfy until I got one of these. No plastic clips to dig into your boobs, weight spread evenly across your whole back. Admittedly it takes a bit of getting used to the first few times - but certainly easier than one of those slings that are just one piece of fabric you have to tie yourself. Best thing is that he just falls asleep every time I put him in it! Along with the bouncy chair I would say this is the most useful piece of baby equipment I own.

I was given this by my cousin who had used this with her two children and I found it to be brilliant overall. It had very good back support so carrying my big baby (12lb by 6 weeks) wasn't a problem. Two main problems were that as my son was born in the summer the layers of material meant that he got very hot when in the sling and putting the sling on was quite complicated, taking a while to get the hang of - it even comes with an instruction DVD, that's how complicated it is!

BEWARE - Don't be fooled by the slick pictures - check these out in the flesh before buying... overly complicated to put on and great swathes of excess material that you are meant to tie in great knots all over the place, the adverts seem to hide this very well... I think, if you need a DVD to tell you how to use a bit of fabric... then its probably a bit over complicated.

I love this sling. I have worn it for about 8-10 hours a day since my son was 10 weeks old. I like the fact you don't have to untie it to take the baby out and therefore can just leave the sling on. I also like the way you can adjust it with the baby in it. My son loves it and sleeps best in it. I also feed him in it. We just came back from 7 weeks travelling in India and we only took this sling, no buggy, and I carried him everywhere with no back pain. He's 8 months old now and I'm thinking of changing to a back carry soon but this sling has been fantastic. I find it very easy to put on and most people I know do but my husband finds it tricky for some reason which is why I'm only giving it a 9 for ease of use!

Brilliant carrier! Easy to put on, very comfy, Instructions are very easy to follow and you get a DVD to help if you need it! My 7week old loves this carrier, my other sling just did not give enough support! Only down side is price, but £50 to be liberated is fine with me!
