ugh, i hated this sling. here's why:

*** it really doesnt look as good as in the photos. there is LOADS of spare material, looks really messy. part of reason i bought it cause it looked great in pics, in reality, v ugly.

*** COMPLICATED... this is not an easy sling to put on.

*** should, as happened to me, the folds in it come unfolded, you're screwed. i tried unthreading, refolding and threading again on quite a few occasions, this took up hours of my life and yet i never got my baby in sling once cause i couldnt do that successfully

Too geeky for me as a dad

Great with a new born child, too hard to put on by yourself with a 3 month old

Absolutely the greatest sling I have ever used...and the easiest to put on and adjust thanks to a one handed adjustable rings either side of the body - essential with a wriggling baby. I have used mine with my little boy since he was 4 weeks old (he's now 9 months old) and it both comfortable for me and him...and more importantly he stops crying and lets me get on with doing other things. I got mine from ebay where they are a little less expensive but still great value for money.

I used a baby carrier with my first child but have found this much easier to use. It's like a cross between a sling and a baby carrier. I'm 5'1" and quite petite but find it easy to use and so does DH who is much, much bigger! I particularly wanted a sling that went over both shoulders to distribute the weight evenly as I am such a wimp. It comes with a carry bag and instruction DVD. Overall I think it's well worth the money.
