AWESOME!, November 17, 2009

Best product for any new parent! We use it everyday, it's comfortable and our baby loves to be in it.

Lame,There are Better Options Out There, November 14, 2009

This carrier is overpriced and uncomfortable. If you are thinking of buying this carrier, you should upgrade to a soft structured carrier. The ergo is a viable option or even better is the Angel Pack Baby Carrier. It is made with organic cotton and designer fabrics. I own 2 and they are great.

Wish we had bought it sooner, November 10, 2009

Very useful for the parent, was easy to carry. Kid loved it and was comfortable in it. We bought it when my infant was 5 months old. Wish we had bought it earlier.

~*ABSOLUTELY LOVELY*~, November 7, 2009

~*Waterproof, wind resistant, made for its matching Bjorn carrier in City Black, what more could they offer for an already perfectly complete harnest set?*~

Only good to 10 pounds without back pain..., November 6, 2009

I have a Bjorn, a Sleepy Wrap, and an Ergo. I like the Ergo the best HANDS DOWN. It has hip straps so that all the weight isn't on your back. The Bjorn kills my back and I'm a healthy 25 year old with no… previous back problems. My baby is only 13 pounds and he's way too heavy for it. They say it goes up to 25 pounds but there's no way... The Ergo can be used up to 40 pounds and switched from front to back when he/she's too heavy for the front. It can also be used on your hip. The cover flap is nice to cover their face from the elements. The Sleepy wrap is such a pain to wrap when you're traveling. It's like 4 yards of fabric and if you're getting out of the car it's hard to put it on without getting it on the ground. Plus it doesn't have the hip support like the Ergo... again it puts the weight right on your back like the Bjorn.
