Cotton Baby Carrier for Newborns to Toddlers | Cozy Wrap with Lumbar Support | Soft Houndstooth Fabric, 7-35lbs Adjustable Fit

I loved my purchased

Didn’t care to spend $200 on a carrier. This popped up so decided to try it. Took a min to figure it out but we love it! Baby loves it too.

I have two Baby Bjorn carriers. One is a mini, one is a bigger one. They are very nice baby carriers. But they are expensive and neither one supports back carrying options. I got with plans to use it has a back carrier in the future. My baby is about 24 lbs now, so she's beyond the mini carrier and she feels a bit tight on the bigger one. She still has room with this one.Putting the baby into this carrier is harder than the Baby Bjorn ones. It requires more positioning, looping straps and securing buckles. The Baby Bjorn just requires a simple-to- fasten "hook" to keep everything in place as you secure and adjust everything else. Once on, the baby seems equally happy/unhappy to be in either one.One of the downsides with this carrier is that the buckle is what keeps the straps secured. While they work just fine, if these plastic buckles fail, the straps have no "back up" to catch the straps from coming off. For example, both my hip carriers use both a velcro strap and a buckle. For the Baby Bjorn, the straps sewn on and the baby holding portion has 4 secure attachments. On another carrier, the buckle is passed through a loop before it buckles, so if the buckles comes loose, the strap will get caught in the loop.

This is a very nice baby carrier that is well-designed. The manual is very thorough and helped me set the carrier up for a newborn baby. I haven't tested it with a real baby since my grandson hasn't been born yet. The baby carrier is adjustable so that it properly fits both the baby and the adult who is wearing the carrier. I like that the leg holes are very adjustable to ensure the proper M position. The snaps and buckles are obviously high quality. I am confused about the small snaps on each shoulder strap. They don't seem to have a purpose. They aren't mentioned in the manual. I can't find anything that is made to attach to them. The shoulder straps, waistband, and head cover are all padded. The material is 90% cotton and 10% linen though the manual states that it is superior velvet. It most certainly is not velvet. Must be a translation issue. The material feels very durable. The tan houndstooth pattern is fairly gender neutral making this carrier suitable for moms and dads. The carrier can be hand washed or machine washed on gentle in a laundry bag. However, it is not suitable to machine dry probably due to risk of shrinking. The carrier can be used in one of three positions: front inside facing, front outside facing, and back inside facing. I appreciate that this carrier has a waistband to provide lumbar support.

I decided to try out this baby carrier because I wanted a way to keep my hands free while being close to my little one. The soft denim fabric is definitely a plus, as it feels nice against the skin, both for me and the baby. The lumbar support is a game changer when carrying my growing toddler for longer periods. It keeps my back more comfortable and allows for a better posture. Adjusting the fit is straightforward, which is handy as my baby grows. However, I noticed that getting the right adjustment for the fit can take a bit of trial and error. Sometimes it feels like I have to re-adjust a few times during use to get it just right, especially since my baby's size changes when they're dressed differently. Also, while the fabric is soft, it can get a bit warm during hotter days, which might be uncomfortable for both of us.Pros:- Soft and comfortable denim fabric- Good lumbar support for extended wear- Adjustable fit to accommodate growthCons:- Adjustments can take time to get right- Can feel warm in hot weather

I like many things about this carrier, which is somewhat similar to the pricier ERGObaby. This is a versatile carrier that can be used in a few different ways. I like everything about the carrier, especially the versatility and the quality of the materials. No polyester in this one. It’s 90% cotton and 10% linen, a really fabulous combination. Unlike one other decent one I had, this one comes with comprehensive instructions.The material is sturdy and the carrier is very well-sewn. Spot cleaning would be my preferred method of cleaning. This carrier isn’t really meant for a young infant and shouldn’t be used until the baby is three months old (my opinion). There are inserts for infant use, but they can be very costly. This type of carrier is designed for the 7-to-25-pound infant / toddler.As mentioned, there are instructions that do included lots of visuals. Use isn’t intuitive and it takes a while to figure out how to use it. Many expectant parents purchase these carriers and practice prior to the arrival of the baby. A really nice carrier that’s much more affordable than some others I’ve had. The different carrying ways are as follows:1) Front Carry - Front Inward2) Front Carry - Front Outward3) Back CarryIn comparison to many carriers, this is a fairly economical one. The color is somewhat earthy and gender neutral. There are name brands people want, but functionality is key as use is rather short term. The closest comparison, of course, would be ERGObaby. There are some differences, but mostly in price.

This feels a bit sturdier and more supportive than other baby carriers I've used over the last few years. It's soft but holds it's shape decently.It says it supports up to 35lbs, but honestly it's really not meant to hold a kid that weighs that much unless it's a very dense infant. My two year old is thirty pounds and this just is not meant for a toddler her size. It'll hold her, but it's difficult to actually get her situated and stable in a way that doesn't also compromise our safety. I'd have been thrilled to get this a year ago, though, and I'll stash it for if we have another kid.
