About the reviewer: Mum to Elliott, 2 and Sam, 6 months
Short Title: Well made, Better For Older Babies
Review:
We have had this sling since Sam was 3 months old and I have to say although you can use it from 4 I would agree with the other reviewer when they said that it would be more suited to a child over the age of 1.
We tried it at 4 months, we tried it at 5 months and now at 6 months I finally felt that Sam was sturdy enough to get onto my back alone. Also I would say that your baby needs to be of an age where they can comfortably spread their legs across your back so this would vary from not only child to child but also depending on the size of the user. When Sam came out of the sling I did notice a pressure mark on his had where the sling edge had been pushing into his skin.
I am an experienced sling user with both Sam and my other son and this sling is relatively easy to use – the part of getting the baby onto your back is easier with a bigger baby and takes some practice.
I would say that it is easy enough to adjust when you are wearing it but I personally found I just couldn

About the reviewer: mother of baby girl
Short Title: Good idea but not ideal
Review:
As soon as i saw this product it looked of a good quality and well made. I read through the easy to follow instructions and put Olivia into it and strapped her to my back. At 8 months old Olivia just wasn’t big enough to see over the top of the back carrier and she soon got frustrated at not being able to see anything except my back.
It felt a little loose and I thought this may be because Olivia was too young but after eventually finding out the age group I think this would be better suited for children over a year old, they can fill out the carrier a little better (as it always felt a little loose round my back and waist)

About the reviewer: Mum of 5
Short Title: Looks good but not so easy to use.
Review:
I was really excited to try this carrier out as I have used most so am not a novice.
I followed the instructions to the letter but soon discovered that I am, apparently, too small around the waist to use this comfortably. The waist strap was done up further than it should have been and it was still too loose to provide any support for my back.
Oliver loved his short trip in it and snuggled into my back. I had to support his bum (like a piggy-back) as he was sliding down my back due to the problem with the waist strap.
I can see how this could be a fantastic product but I can’t see anywhere that says its size. I would happily try this again if there was a size option that would fit me. I’m not tiny, I’m a 10-12 with above average boobs.
I think the price could be right if it worked for me. I’d have been very disappointed if I had paid for this and then had to return it.
