I've just bought this sling and am very disappointed, I bought it for my (small) 6 month old as he had outgrown his carrier and this is suposed to carry babies up to 32 lbs. It doesn't feel at all secure, my son feels like he might fall out it I stop holding him. There is tons of fabric, the bits that come out of the rings dangle down almost to my ankles (and I am tall). I guess I need to tie it around me in some way, but i already have a huge knot on my back from the wrap part. Over all I would say this is not suitable for older babies and rather bulky and messy.

Wow! I love this carrier. I used a Mothercare active type carrier with my first and this is so much more comfortable. Super soft straps over me and my baby.

Very differently looking when you get it out of the box (I bought this in John Lewis) but it came with a DVD with a lady doing all the instructions (very much like an air hostess!) This made it really clear what I should be doing.

My baby LOVES it in this carrier. As soon as she goes in, she settles. I use it more and more everyday. Life saver!!

Brilliant, very comfortable to wear my husband had it on all day at Burghley horse trials and didn't get uncomfortable once. Watch the DVD and practice with a doll at the beginning, this was a fantastic buy!

This sling draws huge compliments, questions and admiration from passers-by who all seem to want one! My daughter has used this since day one as we live in London and use the tube and she's now 4 months and still loves it. It is a very comfortable and easy to use sling (I've tried a few). You do need the instructions at first but it quickly becomes second nature. The only drawback to this sling is that it does feel hot in hot weather as it's like wearing another layer (or two) of clothing but just dress yourself and baby accordingly and you'll be fine. If you have a winter baby then all the better. I really recommend it.

Just had our 14month in this sling all day at Notting hill Carnival, would totally recommend it! Feel a little stiff now, but not surprised really after carrying 23lbs for 7hours plus! She loves being at our height and feels safe and secure even though we have changed the fitting so she's not so restricted! Great for airports and anywhere you might be in crowds. Bit confusing at first, but like most baby gadgets you soon get the hang of it!
