 Overall a good sling January 6, 2009
H. Liles
I bought this sling because the usual over the shoulder slings just didn't seem to feel right. Overall it is a great sling: the stretchy fabric is very comfortable, washable and the instructions are pretty easy to follow. Once you have practiced a few times, you'll get the hang of it. I really loved how well it secured the baby and it was easy to wear for long periods.
The cons are: it takes several steps to get it on- which means you either put it on and wear it the entire outing or you stop, put the baby down and re-wrap yourself. There is no quick on and off. I felt it was too much trouble to use for a quick jaunt like taking my daughter to preschool.Secondly it is hot! I found that it was great in the winter, but if you live in a hot climate you'll be miserable. I have to admit, for my next child, I'm looking for something a little more convenient.
Don't go out without this wrap! December 2, 2008
B. Okika (Nairobi, Kenya)
I love this wrap and so does my son...eventually. After watching the DVD, I struggled to get my son in it, we finally figured it out. When he goes into the wrap there is a period of crying and screaming, but then when I start walking around in it, he falls asleep within minutes. I use it when he's colicky, when I want to make a cup of tea or check my e-mail. I prefer this to my Snugli because when I go for my daily 45 min walk with my son, my back doesn't hurt as it does with the Snugli.
One drawback is that when my son goes to sleep, it's not as easy to extricate him from the wrap as it is with the Snugli. Sometimes he wakes up and I have to lull him back to sleep in my arms. But for doing "stuff", I would choose this wrap over my Snugli.Parents of Invention Ultimate Baby Wrap- Black

 NOT good for newborns, and complicated to put on.... September 30, 2008
samoya (Danville, PA USA)
If you have a newborn baby who can't hold his or her head up yet, this is NOT a good choice for a carrier (even if you try to "tuck" his or her head to one side behind the fabric, it inevitably shifts, and there goes baby's head!). A better choice for newborns is the BABY BJORN carrier - it fully supports them, and keeps them close to your body and therefore feeling more secure for them. Also, if you don't have 20 minutes (ok, an exaggeration...) to put this on (wrapping it this way, that way, up and over, etc.), DON'T BOTHER. The only positive thing I can say is that it is more comfortable than the Baby Bjorn (because it's softer).
Good strong carrier August 16, 2008
Savannah Derien Thorne
I've been using a typical carrier for a long time, but it's always weighed hard on my shoulders. Lately, I cannot get my 12-month-old out of it without shaking her out! It's just too small. So, seeing that this product claims it'll fit a kid up to 4 years old I decided to give it a try (I do use a stroller as well, but in the mornings I like to walk the dog, and need my hands free). The negatives: the carrier is made of A LOT of material, and putting it on takes some getting used to. But the postives are that it will definitely continue to carry her for years, and it spreads the weight very naturally to my hips instead of my shoulders, making it SO much more comfortable. I can see carrying her in this to a lot of places! It comes with a DVD too (which, incidentally, my baby enjoyed watching! LOL) to really aid you in putting it on. I think it's a pretty great invention, and I am more pleased than I expected to be.
