I took a chance and purchased one of these. I do not like using the buggy all the time esp getting on and off trains etc. and my 3 year old doesn't like sitting in a buggy much either but does get tired walking. I already have a rucksac carrier for her and she really likes that & it is comfy with a seat but getting her in/out and the rucksac back onto my back is time consuming and difficult.

The makers should pad it really. Although it is great that you have your hands and arms free, there is a slight problem in that it is difficult to carry a handbag or put your rucksack on your front as the straps don't hold. You have to carry a bag in your hand. Finally, and the major problem for us, is that it is a great system for when your child is lively, and energetic. However, when my child is tired she gets very upset in it as she can't...
