Hotslings Designer Pouch Style Baby Carrier, Sweet Pea Review

Hotslings Designer Pouch Style Baby Carrier, Sweet Pea
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The hotsling is much simpler than the slings that have the buckle; therefore, it makes it much easier to become accustomed to and travel with.Although I do like it, I don't love it for summer because the material is a little thick; my baby gets too hot in it, and so do I.Also, because the baby's legs have to be scrunched up in it (right now she is only 2 months old), I like to put her in the Baby Bjorn so that her legs can be free.It's a good product as far as slings go, and I would recommend this sling over the others (i have a few slings AND a Baby Bjorn!).

Boba Organic Baby Carrier 2G Review

Boba Organic Baby Carrier 2G
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Boba is a soft-structured carrier (think Ergo) designed to be used for children ages 1 to 4 (15 - 45 lbs.) for front and back carries, and my two youngest are now 16 months and 3.5.As an Ergo owner my first thoughts were - how does the Boba differ from an Ergo?Well, to be honest there are quite a few points of differentiation, most good, some not-so-good.There are also some similarities and challenges that seem to present themselves with any structured carrier.

So, first off, the Boba is an organic cotton carrier, made in Boulder, Colarado by mountaineering professionals - very neat!The first things I noticed were the nicely contoured padded shoulder straps, the handy `hide-em' elastics to roll up the excess webbing from the shoulder straps and waist strap (very nice touch!), and the heavy duty safety-buckle.

Loading both of my children in the front facing position was very simple, but I did need some help fastening the chest-strap across my back (I have limited mobility in my right arm), so I need some help there.I played with the foot-straps some before realizing that my baby's legs are just too short for them to work at the moment, but they are very adjustable with a neat sliding feature that let's you move them around the bottom of the carrier.Adjusting for circumference is tricker, as they velcro up inside of the padded waist area, which is securely fastened when you have a child in the carrier and are trying to adjust the straps.The front carry with Sarah is blissful, it's the snuggliest, worry-free front carry ever!She's in the perfect position to kiss, and the extra fabric on the sides and top really gives it a cocoon-like feel.She slept for hours in the Boba the first time she rode in it.

Now, the shoulder straps were hard for me to get snug enough, so I called in my husband, but this isn't unique to the Boba, I always have a hard time with this design of tightening fixture on soft-structure carriers.Once adjusted though, between the shoulder and chest straps you can get a good custom-fit for your child.It does take a few minutes to adjust the carrier back and forth for different children.

Now, my 3.5 year old IS tall enough to get use out of the foot-straps!Designed to be used with shoes, the straps function almost as a stirrup, and are designed to lift the leg to a healthy, 90 degree angle from hip to thigh and thigh to calf.I think it's a pretty neat idea, and you can tell that the posture is definitely better with the strap as opposed to without.If she gets excited and tries to 'stand' in the stirrups, the velcro lets loose and needs to be done up again, and she did say they were a bit `itchy' - some of the velcro must have brushed her leg (something to note if your youngster has sensory-integration issues).Again the front carry is very supportive and incredibly comfy, I could carry her for hours like this!She likes it too.

Now, for the back carry, I actually got Sarah in without help on my first try by following the instructions!The extra fabric on the panel really makes a difference here.With other soft-structured carriers I often felt like my baby was leaning away from me because I couldn't feel her upper body against my back.With the Boba that problem is no longer there!With some careful adjustments I can get my little girl hugged up nice and comfy. I REALLY like this...sure helps when I'm doing dishes!

Rose also gets nice and tight up against me as you can see. Now, with her being heavier I did notice that the unpadded webbing that makes up the front portion of the Boba (where you fasten the safety buckle) carries more weight and did dig into my abdomen some.That's likely due to my squishy mommy belly, but it wasn't entirely comfortable.Some other carriers feature a flat band of fabric that goes underneath this section of webbing to distribute the weight without so much digging, but the Boba doesn't. Thankfully, I don't use a carrier with her often, as I'm the only carrier wearer in the family, so I usually take Sarah.If Rosie tuckers out her Dad uses his arms.

The Boba also doesn't have a sleeping baby head flap, but in truth, I've rarely been able to fasten those by myself with a baby in the carrier, and often it woke mine up.With the extra fabric providing upper-back support, Sarah just tucked herself in closer when she fell asleep in the front carry, so I haven't missed it yet.

With both the back and front carries high, snug, and secure, the Boba is a great carrier for moms who want to wear their babies through the winter with a baby-wearing coat.Once you get your adjustments made you're ready to go, there won't be any budging.

Parents shopping for a first soft-structured baby carrier should STRONGLY consider the Boba due to the extra fabric in the panel ALONE.The added feeling of security is so sweet, snuggly, and above all reassuring!

Baby K'Tan Baby Carrier Review

Baby K'Tan Baby Carrier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I really like it :)I mostly only use it for shopping trips, but wanted it to be easy enough to use just to calm my daughter down while I was busy around the house.If I'd planned on wearing her all the time I probably would've gone for the Moby wrap or something, but this is perfect for my needs.I'm 5'4" (almost) and 120 lbs, and the XS is just barely small enough.I don't think I would recommend it for anyone smaller.I do find the size difference between 'normal' and 'freshly washed' somewhat annoying, but I can make them both work, and it only takes an hour or two of wear to stretch it out again, so it's not a big deal (I wish the size would stay right in between, actually, that would be perfect for me).I have nursed her in it, but it's pretty awkward, and I still needed an arm under her most of the time so she stayed where she belonged.But it was better than nothing.

Snuggy Baby Prestige Ring Sling Baby Carrier in Turquoise Dream Review

Snuggy Baby Prestige Ring Sling Baby Carrier in Turquoise Dream
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My wife uses SnuggyBaby products including this matching Wet Bag:
XL Wet Bag - Turquoise Dream which is GREAT for anything messy.It's been a lifesaver.

This is a GREAT RING sling.We are attachment parents, and have carried both of our Daughters. This SnuggyBaby sling is wider than other 100% cotton slings we found on the market.At 29 inches wide, it's about 7 inches wider than any other double layer cotton sling we could find on the market.You can find 40 inch wide cotton slings out there, but single layer not doubled up material, and I can't imagine carrying the love of your life in one single layer of Cotton.

The pleated shoulder allows for long wearing with no discomfort.We have tried other shoulder designs, and they become painful after a short while.My wife has worn her SnuggyBaby for up to 6 hours straight without pain.

The tail is nice and long.It is open, not sewed shut like so many are.This nice wide tail allows it to be used as a nursing cover when out in public.It's great because we saved money not having to buy a nursing cover, nor do I have to carry around more dead weight in the diaper bag.

It is an incredible feeling to be able to ditch the stroller!As a Dad, I am the one that had to fight it out of the car, and mess with all the buttons and such to get it up and usable.Then anywhere you take the stroller it's too wide, or people are blocking your path, or you run into things.I can't tell you how great it is for my wife to throw on her SnuggyBaby sling, I grab a backpack set up as a diaper bag, and we are mobile and ready for any adventure.We do more as a family because it's so easy to get around now.I don't even want to remember the pain and awkwardness of of the car seat baby carrier.What Dad doesn't hate lugging that thing around?

The rails of the sling are an accent color of Cotton, and make it very easy to find the edge for adjustments.It makes the sling STUNNING as well!

So many Ring Slings are ...well...UGLY.They are, you already know they are ugly if you are researching Slings.Plain solid colors, not attractive, well...Ugly.This SnuggyBaby sling is Gorgeous, and my wife wants to wear it.It matches so much of her wardrobe.

There is a learning curve for a ring sling, so the DVD with all the carries that is included was a nice touch.An experienced baby wearer can thread the sling, throw it on, and be on their way in seconds.

All in all, This SnuggyBaby Sling is the best ring sling we could find on the market, my youngest daughter lives in this sling.

Product Description:
Carry your baby hands free and in style with this beautiful ring sling baby carrier.Snuggy Baby slings are completely adjustable so every person gets a custom fit in every position every time.

Snuggy Baby prestige ring slings have a pleated shoulder for lasting comfort. They are made with 2 layers of cotton fabric to provide additional strength and security.The 2 layers also ensure that you get an uniform print. No matter which side of the sling is showing, you always see the beautiful design.They are made with strong, lightweight aluminum rings that have been weight tested to 250 lbs.

These slings measure approx. 21/3 yards long by 27" wide, which is large enough to fit all body types.This is a wider sling and perfect for larger babies. It provides a deep secure pocket for newborns and still provides plenty of support for a wiggly 3 year olds.

Ring slings allow breastfeeding moms to nurse discreetly and hands free.The sling can hold your baby in the correct position and the open tail can be used as a discrete nursing cover so no one will know that you are nursing.The tail also makes a great sun/wind/rain shade, so it is like you are getting several products in 1.

All Snuggy Baby slings come with an instructional DVD that will show you the correct, safe way to carry your baby in 4 different positions; cradle position, tummy to tummy (AKA snuggle position), kangaroo carry, and hip carry.

Hotslings Everyday Baby Pouch Sling Sateen Stretch Child Carrier, Black Size 2 (XS) Review

Hotslings Everyday Baby Pouch Sling Sateen Stretch Child Carrier, Black Size 2
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the first sling I've purchased, my daughter is 2mos & when she is sleeping she likes to be in it. It is difficult to get her in all the way, so I don't attempt to anymore. I usually just sit her up, laying against my chest. I still have to use one hand to hold her (unless I'm sitting down). I don't use it that often, like I thought I would. I'd rather just hold her & then lay her down in her crib. Perhaps a bigger size would be helpful; in all I wouldn't spend the money for this sling.

Hotslings Reversible Pouch Style Baby Carrier, Ingrid Review

Hotslings Reversible Pouch Style Baby Carrier, Ingrid
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The sling is comfortable to wear. It doesn't put too much pressure on your shoulder and allows normal back alignment when carrying a child on your hip.It is also very easy to transport since it rolls up so small.With most other slings, you can't bring them everywhere with you "just in case"because they are too bulky. The only downside is it is not adjustable. My Mom can't wear it when she babysits since she would be a different size. Other than that, they are wonderful products - well put together, soft and sturdy fabric, comfortable for mom and baby, and easy to use (they come with an instructional DVD). I love the reversible feature too!

Peanut Shell Microfleece Sling - Squirt Review

Peanut Shell Microfleece Sling - Squirt
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have two Peanut Shell slings -- one regular cotton and one microfleece. They're beautifully made and seem like a great concept, although my son isn't a huge fan of them. He's big for his age (two months) and complains all the time he's in there, despite being properly adjusted.

One cautionary note about the microfleece sling -- the sizing. According to the Peanut Shell charts I need a Medium sling, and indeed in the *regular cotton* sling, the Medium is a perfect size for me. However, the microfleece sling stretches tremendously once the baby is in it, making the sling *too large*. Suddenly it hangs way down, so that my legs bump it when I walk! Not the intended effect!

So if you're ordering the Peanut Shell in microfleece, I'd suggest choosing one size SMALLER than your recommended size. Otherwise you'll end up, like me, with a sling you can't use...

Pikkolo Soft Structured Baby Carrier Review

Pikkolo Soft Structured Baby Carrier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I absolutely LOVE this pack!I've had it for just over a month now, and it gets used every day.Sometimes multiple times during the day.Learning to use it can be a bit complicated, but it's not difficult once you get it down.My 3 month old hates being in his stroller or car seat, so I carry this pack with me everywhere.It's his main mode of transportation when he's not in the car.Originally I was given a Jeep front carrier, but that hurt my back and shoulders.I've had two back surgeries and deal with a lot of back pain already.This carrier has the hip belt, which is a must for me.It's much better on your back and shoulders.Plus, I like the fact there is nothing between me and him.He is securely held in waist belt, and then pressed up against me.Since my son always falls asleep in his carrier (front carry, facing in), it makes it easy to remove the pack after we get home.I can even just lay down on the sofa, unbuckle and slide out everything, and then he can nap right there with me!

He isn't quite big enough for the back carry yet, but I have practiced putting the carrier on that way.It is a little more complicated than some, again, but not hard to figure out.I love the fact that this can be used in so many ways- front facing in, front facing out, hip carry, and back carry.And since it holds a baby up to 40 pounds, there won't be any need for me to look into a new carrier over the years.It is well worth the money.

Product Description:
The new Pikkolo by CatBird Baby represents the new height of carrier sophistication and comfort. You can completely customize it to meet you and your baby's ever-changing needs over time, and use it in a myriad of positions. * Excellent for babies from newborn up to 45 pounds (age 4 to 5). * All Pikkolo carriers include a detachable sleep hood, chest belt and instruction manual and are 100% cotton, exclusive of trim. * The Pikkolo has a cinching mechanism on either side of the carrier body to narrow the carrier. You can then comfortably wear your baby in front facing out. The baby is held in a healthy semi-seated position which does not place as much pressure on the crotch and spine of the baby as a Baby Bjorn does.* The ability to cinch the carrier body also makes it good for wearing small babies. A narrower cinched carrier body means that a small baby will not have to spread his legs very wide while riding.* Brushed twill cotton fabric is feather-soft, feels wonderful against the skin.* Snap hooks on sleeping hood attach to D-rings on the shoulder straps for ease of use and better adjustment. * Tested to fit wearers between 4'10" and 6'2". * All buckles are dual-adjustable and adjust both ways, for optimal fit and ease of adjustment.* Shoulder straps are padded with deluxe memory foam. It is very thin, but incredibly cushy and shock-absorbent. As the foam becomes warmed by your body heat, it shapes itself to your shoulders for a glove-like fit.* Recommended care: wash on gentle cycle in cold water with a mild detergent. Dry on low until just damp, hang to finish drying in well ventilated area. Spot clean when needed

Hotslings Everyday Baby Sling Carrier - Print Stretch - Quinn Stripe - 1
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
What would I do without my Hotsling?My 9 week old baby has loved the closeness of being in the sling from the very beginning.When she fusses, this is the only sure way to get her calm and sleeping.With her cuddled up close to me in the sling, I can get work done around the house, go shopping or take a walk.My baby isn't comfortable in the Baby Bjorn yet, so the sling is an absolute lifesaver.

There are a couple drawbacks of this sling:
1. It is not comfortable to wear for long periods of time.After an hour or so, my back is starting to hurt.
2.It is not adjustable, so my husband can't use it, and it was a little tight in the winter when we were wearing big coats and wrapping the baby in blankets.I recommend ordering a size larger than you think you need - I am 5'2"/120 lbs and the size 3 is just right.

Next time, I might try an adjustable sling so that my husband and I can both use it.

Hotslings Baby Carrier Review

Hotslings Baby Carrier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My baby boy constantly wanted to be held up until about 3 months of age.I tried using a Moby sling; this worked great at home but was a pain to take off and put on when we were out.

I also has a baby Bjorn but my little boy wasn't comfortable in that and would cry when we put him in there.He also had trouble sleeping in the Baby Bjorn.

Finally I did some research on baby wearing and came across the Hotsling.This is a great product.When my son was little I wore him on my front and he could either sleep in it or sit up in it.The Hotsling takes 2 seconds to put on and is very easy to get your baby in and out of.This sling also rolls up very small and I always care one in my purse now.It is also very reasonably priced for a sling.

As my boy gets older (now 9 months) this sling is still great because I could sit him on my hip in it.It provides enough support that my hands are free but allows him some movement.I used it while riding the bus; my son can sit down on my lap or stand up and bounce on my lap while in the sling and I can hold onto my purse and the railing.

I have two of these now.This is my second one.I needed a smaller size after losing the pre-pregnancy weight.The pattern of this one is very tasteful, goes with lots of cloths, and can be either dressy or casual.

I just can't rave enough about this sling.

HugaMonkey Crush Organic Baby Sling Review

HugaMonkey Crush Organic Baby Sling
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
HugaMonkies are sooooo wonderful and easy to use! They only cost (...) and come right in your mailbox with no shipping cost! The organic material is so stretchy, my baby falls right to sleep when I put her into it because it's just like being back in the womb! I don't know what I would do with out this being a mother of 4 very active children. I use it so frequently that I have decided to order a second one just so I am never without one again. Customer service was also excellent and I was able to talk personally via e-mail with Carrie, the co-founder of Hugamonkey, who helped me determine that I had ordered a size too big.

One word of advice though would be to order a smaller size than you think you need with the organic sling due to the stretchiness of the material,especially if you are a short mommy, but if you do wind up with a size problem, all returns and exchanges are free within the first 30 days through the HugaMonkey website!

These slings are also nothing like the ones you see being sold at Wal-mart that act more like a purse than a sling. I had one of those purse like carriers and my baby really could not breath inside of it. We returned it immediately! These slings are sooomuch better and safer and once your baby gets bigger, you can use it to let her sit in on your hip rather than cradled in front.

Soooo many different uses, really simple design, and very cheap price!

BABYBJ?RN Baby Carrier Active Review

BABYBJ?RN Baby Carrier Active
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I was attracted to this carrier by all the rave reviews on Amazon.I like to hike, and live in a city where strollers are an inconvenience, so I thought I'd give this a try.I already have the original model, but this sounded so much better according to other reviewers.After using it for three weeks, my opinion is that this carrier is a slight improvement over the original when it comes to back support, but it's not a real carrier for truly active pursuits, and not worth the extra 90 bucks (or more) to buy it if you already have the original.

Problem 1

Although the lumbar support is a good idea in theory, I find that in order to get it to work, I have to tighten the attached straps to such an extent that my internal organs get squashed.I'm 5'9", 160 lbs, and I don't have a huge gut, but the lumbar just isn't tight enough against my back to provide support unless everything else in front is compressed to an uncomfortable degree, making it hard even to breathe sometimes.

Problem 2

An additional problem that I have found is that my child tends to sit considerably lower than in the original.He's 5 months old, and over 26 inches long, but unless I set the seat at the highest point (for children between 21-23.5 inches), he simply sits too low on my chest, and he still easily (and painfully) puts his little heels into my crotch on a far too-frequent basis.

Problem 3

The little flap at the front of the carrier, which can be folded down when the child is facing forward, constantly pops back up from the folded position to bop my kid in the face.There is no way to snap it or velcro it down, and the tensioner straps designed to aid in holding the child closer to your chest are insufficient to keep it lying flat once folded.

Problem 4

The shoulder straps are insufficiently padded, and as far as I can tell, have the same amount of padding as the original version.My kid is only 18 lbs, and after an hour or so, my shoulders sometimes get sore.I only wonder what hauling around a 25-pounder would be like.

Problem 5

The build quality on this carrier seems inferior to the original.On my second use, the red bracket that receives the red insert of the outer carrier partially tore free of the stitching, requiring me to take out dental floss and needle to stitch it back up.

Problem 6

Even when properly strapped in, I find that my son still bounces around and his back is too far from my chest for this carrier to be considered suitable for anything more "active" than a brisk walk.I have used it once to port him along for a mild hike, and felt that he simply wasn't sufficiently supported.I don't find this carrier's snugging system to be better in any way than the original.

Conclusion

Although this carrier is marginally easier on your back than the original, it is not adequate for more than extended brisk walks.If you don't have either carrier, it makes sense to get this one if you're particularly worried about your back or will be carrying a heavier child.If you're simply planning to carry your child around town for a few hours, the cheaper original model is sufficient.I am still waiting for a baby product company to offer a front-carry model for smaller children that incorporates backpack-style padded and contoured shoulder pads and a padded hip/lumbar belt capable of transferring weight from shoulders to hips.

Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier Review

I received the Sleepy Wrap as a baby shower gift, and it has proven itself to be a fantastic product.My son is currently 4 months old, and he is a frequent eater (breastfeeds every 1-2 hours) who takes very few daytime naps.He also wants to be held constantly and cries if laid down or left alone too long.The Sleepy Wrap is the only way I can get him to nap longer than 30 minutes during the day!He will often sleep for 2-3 hours in the wrap, waking for a snack and then back off to sleep.I'm a full-time student taking classes online, and I can study and surf the internet with baby wrapped against me!It's the only way I can get things done during the day.If you are a fan of Attachment Parenting, this product is perfect.

I also use the Wrap when going out and about.I simply put the wrap on at home, then transfer him into the wrap from the car seat and carry him with me in stores, at the mall, etc.He either looks around happily or sleeps peacefully.A much better alternative than carrying a carseat, lugging along a stroller, or finding a shopping cart to place the carseat into.The Wrap is extremely comfortable when standing or walking, and I have no problems with back or neck pain while carrying my son, who is currently 15 lbs.

My son was developing a flat spot on his head, and one of the ways I helped treat this was by keeping him in the Wrap.There is no external pressure on his head, so it's much better than laying him in a swing, bouncer or crib.

I can even breastfeed my son in the Wrap.The website says no repositioning is required, but I find that I do have to reposition my son, from side to side and sometimes further down my chest, in order to feed him.It is not a completely discreet way to feed, so I use my Jelly Bean nursing cover over it.

If you have a fussy or needy baby, I highly recommend getting this wrap.We also have a Baby Bjorn, which my husband often wears, and he prefers the Sleepy Wrap for both his and baby's comfort.

The only con of the Sleepy Wrap is that it takes practice to put it on just right, but after about a dozen times it becomes second nature.Also, as I mentioned above, I do have to reposition him to nurse, which often leaves the Wrap stretched and I have to re-wrap it in order to get the snug fit I desire.

Moby Wrap Moby D Baby Carrier Review

Moby Wrap Moby D Baby Carrier
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We have two of these, one in a brocade and one in the hand-woven. The woven is definitely a bit more "grippy" through the panel, and it makes for some really nice carrying options, including back carries, which I would not do with most stretchy wraps. The brocade is a little slippery for back carries, but gorgeous on the front. This is a really nice hybrid between stretchy and woven carriers.

Product Description:
A wrap-around style baby carrier with the same great comfort as the original Moby Wrap, now with a destinctive look. The Moby D has a fabric panel in the center portion of the wrap that is made of either hand-woven cotton, Asian brocade silk, or fleece. While all fabric panels add aesthetically, the woven cotton and silk provide a piece of non-stretchy material to aid in supporting heavier babies and the fleece provides additional warmth. A few more differences to note are: the Moby D measures 5 meters in length, the Moby Wrap is 5.5 meters. The edges of the Moby D are hemmed, and the Moby Wrap's are over-locked. The Moby D's end knot is tied at the side, and the Moby Wrap's can be tied either in front or back.
