I had been after a patapum for a while and was very pleased when I found one 2nd hand on a babywearing website. I paid around £35 for mine.

This sling is a little on the large side for me as a petite personage! and found I couldn't make the straps short enough. However as my charge grows I am finding it more and more comfortable.

This sling takes the weight of your LO on your waist. It is quite fast to put on and take off due to the clip closings, it is also fairly straight forward to adjust for different sized wearers.

Due to the construction there is a minimum of fabric making it a good choice for the summer.

I like the fact that all the loose webbing can be folded into a elastic loop keeping the straps tidy and leaves nothing trailing around to get in the way.

At 18months my charge was too small for this sling really, it was however comfortable enough to wear for up to 1 hr but now she is 21months she has defiantly grown into it.

When its not in use I have found a way to fold it up so it can be carried over my shoulder like a handbag which is handy cause when your LO is 1 1/2+ they do like to have a walk from time to time!

Overall I am pleased I have this sling I would use it over a conventional baby carrier any day.

Have used the toddler Patapum with my 2-year old daughter for several months and continue to carry her on my front (for cuddles) in extreme comfort and also light and comfortable on the back.

They're also meant to keep baby snuggled close (like a piggy back with support) and not 'hanging' from your shoulders. Also like the thick, shaped waistband.

Good value for money rather than investing in a carrier only suitable for the first few months.

It's a fantastic soft sling that allows you to carry a chunky toddler on your back. The sling is easy to figure out, very comfortable for both the baby and the parent, and it is incredibly portable. This one is for toddlers, from 18 months up to 60 pounds, but there is a smaller one for younger babies. My 2.4 year old loves it!
