Close Baby Carrier

A lifesaver. I bought this despite having a perfectly good Baby Bjorn as I felt my baby was not very comfy when she was young. She pretty much lived in it for 4 months and I was able to take her out to dinner, fashion shows, parties etc and she slept happily through it all snuggled into me. Even if I stop using it soon as others have said it may not work with a larger baby I still feel I have had great value for money.

We are still using this sling with our 14 month old dd. She loves being carried in it, and in the early days it was guaranteed to send her to sleep so was great for getting a routine established. The thing I like best about it is it's simplicity - it's soft, easy to get dd in and out of (once you've done it a couple of times!) and to adjust. It takes up little space so can be chucked in the nappy bag if I'm not sure I'll need it or not, and washes nicely in the washing machine. I found it very comfortable to wear, and I also think it's quite stylish - certainly more so than some carriers on the market which can look a bit, erm, surgical!

Just wanted to update my review.... DD is now 10 months and we STILL love love love this sling. It is still the last resort for getting her to sleep. I used to take DD everywhere in the sling but recently she has been getting a bit heavy (she's now 26lbs though!). I showed it to my chiropractor (I have bad back problems) and he totally approved. I have NEVER had back ache and have always felt totally supported using the sling, despite my baby being 98th centile for weight!

Don't understand negative reviews for this sling at all! Everyone who has "had a go" on mine has loved this sling too!

I gave 10 for value as, although it is expensive, this has been one of my longest lasting bits of kit.

I love this sling and most importantly so does DD. It took a few goes before I got the hang of putting it on properly but those adjustments make it so comfortable to wear.

It is quite pricey but I could have saved the money on going for a less expensive pram, if I had known DD would have preferred this so much in the early days.
