Carrying in comfort and style

Advantages: closeness, hands free
Disadvantages: hugs chin when facing outwards

...month's use out of. The Tomy Freestyle carrier had a large, padded velcro strap around the waist and back as well as an adjustable clip, very thick shoulder straps, and velcro around the baby's legs as well as a plastic clip so that he's safe in there but can be taken out easily. My decision was made, and I paid my £24.99 to the cashier happily. With a little practice I was able to slip the carrier over my head whilst holding the baby, get him into ...
...time again I'd buy a Tomy Freestyle carrier straight away, it's certainly worth the money. So in short, Pros: - One person only needed - Neutral colour - Easy to get baby in and out - Sturdy and safe thick material two fastenings - Adjustable leg holes and shoulder straps grow with the baby, waist band can shrink with your baby bump! - Can go hands free when needed - Saves on space - Closeness - No carrying buggies up and down the stairs ...

Awkward to use, not click and go!

Advantages: 2 way facing
Disadvantages: Uncomfy, fiddly, expensive

We thought that one of these would come in very handy when our little one arrived, however this carrier was a nightmare to use, we have the click and go version. Firstly it is so difficult to adjust, after only 5mins of wear the adult part digs into the back of your neck, the waist part rides up too high. The baby part looks comfy and for putting the baby into it to face you is straight forward, but trying to put a wriggly baby if facing out is impossible, ...
...itself is very secure once clicked together but taking the baby out again is virtually impossible as you have to slide your hand between the baby and your harness, from between their legs and then find the fiddly clip, by which time there is a stressed out baby and mother!!! It is also difficult to clip the baby harness to the adult harness with the baby in it. Nice idea but doesn't work. It is also quite pricey and friends have much better carriers ...

Comfortable and hands free!

Advantages: Makes it easy to run around after a bigger child/toddler, baby sleeps comfortably
Disadvantages: You can get a bit hot when the sun is blazing!

I brought the Tomy Freestyle Premier because my toddler kept running off in the park and I was left running around with the baby in my arms so decided to buy a carrier. I chose this one because it is easy to detach your baby without waking them up as you can leave them in the harness which is separate to the straps that go around you - it does this on an "S" system and you sort of twist the baby off you but after a couple of practice goes I am finding ...
...when baby is small and a dribble bib. My baby has slept fine it in and it is comfortable to wear and easy to adjust although on a hot day you do get a little warm! It can be used up to 19lbs or 12 mths and can be washed at 40C. ...

It looked cool, but my back ached

Advantages: looks really lush, can be thrown into the washing machine for cleaning
Disadvantages: makes baby seam heavier, can't be worn for long, the 'D' rings!!

This pack looks really really good, the materials feel really lush and soft, and seams like it would be very comfortable. BUT the amount of slack the head rest /restraint gives for babys head means baby is leaning back away from your body and you soon start to feel the strain, and even start to get that 'pregnancy posture' thing happening by counter balancing. Even when the head rest part is tightened to the tightest setting there is quite a gap ...
...to hold my sons head and sholders closer to me to reduce the forward pull it would create. Also, because baby is leaning away from your body it makes baby seam alot heavier! While most of the way this carrier is put on is really user friendly, the one I had used 'D' rings & domes to fasten the head rest part & the ends were SO difficult to get through the D rings on the carrier you have to turn them on a certain angle and twist it as you push it ...

Please don't do it

Advantages: Washes well!!
Disadvantages: frightens you senseless

I bought three slings before I found the one I loved a have recommed to anyone and everyone since, which is the baby bjorn, but before that I had one of these and was terrified by it. The reason being was you get you baby into the detachable 'seat' section wrestle the harness part onto your body and then zip each side on the baby onto the harness section alternativly you can assemble the entire thing on you and then try a lower this teeny weeny precious ...
...breakdown at the same time. I then would spent the whole time defeating the purpose of this object by holding my daughter in for two rerasons. I was so terrified the zips would undo, they zip up NOT down major flaw, and she would drop to the floor the other there is not why to adjust the sides sufficently to hold the baby into your chest so they sort of dangle outwards. I didn't us this long enough to get to the age when you can turn the baby to ...
