Tomy Freestyle baby carrier

We bought the Tomy Freestyle for use with our first child two years ago. It's a front carrier that takes a baby from birth to around 9 months. It cost me around £30 from Mothercare. We chose this carrier because the fabric was so soft inside and on the outside it was quite plain, yet had a sporty look to it. My husband said it was the most masculine of the carriers available which was a big plus for him. It has two wide shoulder straps which cross ...
...goes around your waist. The whole front folds down to get baby in and out although we both find it hard to get the clips back through their respective holes to secure it. There is a part at the front which folds up and down to support babies head which is particularly useful for newborns or if baby falls asleep. Baby can face outwards as well as towards you which is good as baby grows up and becomes more interested in seeing their surroundings and ...

Review of Tomy Freestyle baby carrier

I bought one of these for my first baby, it was a god send, you can carry your baby in 2 positions - facing you or facing outwards. I found facing them towards you when they are small is better as they cant see much from birth anyway. As they get older they can see better so changing the position means they can see where they are going. I also used it with my second baby which helped me a lot as I didn't have to push around a double buggy, I had ...
...a single pushchair, great for looking around shops. The material inside is like a fleece, it is so soft and snug, it still feels like this now after lots of washes. (machine washable). It also has a storage pocket and a dummy holder which is great for when your baby spits out the dummy! It can fold out flat so you can put your baby in and out so if they have fallen asleep you can easily get them out without waking them. It does say on the box ...

Review of Tomy Freestyle baby carrier

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 ...
