"The country's most popular meeting point for parents"
The Times
X Factor - making the song their own?
Not just an M&S ad - it's a sexist ad?
Wotsits or wine - home delivery substitutes?
Corsa? Yaris? - car-inspired baby names?
Cheesed off - with pregnancy food advice?

Not worth buying
Have to use it from when the baby can hold their head upright - which is the same stage as when you can use a back carrier. With the former it is easier to load, but you end up having to lean to the other side the whole time to counterbalance & the kid becomes too heavy to use it at a year: hence you are using it for less than 9 months.
If you use a back carrier you have to learn the method of how to load a child on, when you are by yourself, but if it is properly adjusted you have another 2 or 3 years worth of use as so much more of the load is taken straight down through your hips - plus you are left with two free hands (so you can still do things)

Absolutely fantastic - very easy to use and carries a baby from as soon as it can hold its head up. No more straining back!
