Bushbaby Cocoon

Best carrier I have tried, I suffer from a bad back, but with the cocoon im able to wear with no problem. it has a great lumber support and is so easy to use, the wraps and slings i have tried have not been comfortable at all and the cocoon has been a pleasure to use. it has a seperate POD of the baby that clips onto the harness + can be transfered to the car seat for quick and easy trips to the shops. AAAAA* no wounder its won so many awards *****

Brilliant - of all the slings I've tried through the four children, this has been by far the best - light, easy to store, easy to put on, doesn't weigh you down - I have ME and not a lot of strength.

We got this after reading favourable reviews on Mumsnet, and have never looked back. So comfortable, baby loved it, he slept in very soundly in it, an it was very cheap second hand.

We had this for our first child but replaced it with a wrap sling for our second. It is a nice piece of kit but I found that it got very uncomfortable once baby got bigger, pulling on my neck. No amount of adjustment seemed to help. It was also pretty difficult to get on with stuff around the house with my daughter in it because it's still quite bulky. I much prefer the wrap sling really, but have kept this for rainier days because of the rain cover.

I didn't get on with the bushbaby - found it pulled on my shoulders and once the baby was over about 12lb I couldn't carry him in it for more than about 15 mins. Also the pod seems like a good idea but I found it fiddly to get on and off and usually ended up waking DS in the process of undoing it! For the £50 I paid I wish I'd bought a wrap sling.
