Ta-Dah! You now have free hands!, 24 Jun. 2013

This is a fab sling! I owned a Baba Sling with my first son, but we didn't get on with it. Very difficult to adjust to the right setting. However, this sling is so simple. The adjustment is simply velcro at the back, and it is very strong.I am only 5'0 and size 10, and it fits me perfectly well. It took about three goes before I got the hang of where to place my 12-day old son. The trick is to get baby fairly high up in the sling, so he is almost on your shoulder. You should be able to kiss his head once he's in properly.Once in, if baby is fussy, have a walk around, and if baby is well fed, he should settle down after you've moved a little. He fell asleep in it straightaway and I've been able to get stuff done around the house. I'm especially excited about this sling having a toddler to also look after, so this gives me my hands back to care for him.Well worth the money. The fabric feels beautiful. So happy with it!

Very useful, 4 Aug. 2011

My little boy is only 2 weeks old at the moment but so far this has worked really well. He finds great comfort in it and it calms him when he is upset and wants a cuddle. The only flaw is that usually if he falls asleep in it I have to leave him in it when I put him down, but I can open it all up around him so it's not too much of a problem. I would recommend this.

Squashed., 8 Nov. 2013

I bought this sling for my 2 month old, so that I could do stuff around the house without having to put him down. From the very beginning, he hated being squashed in (9 pounds plus, and I was worried about his breathing being blocked because it pushed his chin down towards his neck. I tried the upright position, but he can't hold his head up, so I had to use one hand to support his head, which meant I still couldn't get stuff done around the house with two hands. The velcro straps are loud, waking him up if he was asleep and I did want to put him down. The instructions are seriously terrible, after looking at the youtube clips (that don't use real babies) I figured out what they meant,but it didn't make it any more comfortable for either my little boy or me. I give this the total thumbs down. I would go so far as to say I think it is dangerous, because the baby is so deep in the pocket when he is asleep that I had to keep checking him every minute or so to make sure he was still...
