Advantages: easy to store and clean. A hands-free alternative to a pushchair. Disadvantages: Complex and uncomfortable.
On first glance this sling appears to be very simple, the instructions are clear and I appreciated the benefits of carrying your child in the ways the company suggest e.g. encouraging face to face contact. However I would strongly recommend practicing a lot with this item before leaving the house. Even when I was convinced the sling was adjusted correctly, it never felt completely secure. I found that despite the additional shoulder padding the strap was still uncomfortable and my baby never really looked particularly comfortable. It was a better alternative than a pushchair in busy areas and during peak shopping times as a pushchair can be cumbersome. Also you have to think of the weather as my little one got very wet once as there is no protection from the elements.
Despite the company recommending use with the sling way beyond ...
Advantages: soft and snug for small babies, comfortable Disadvantages: needs lots of practice putting it on
I bought the Wilkinet carrier for our first son who is now four, recommended by a friend. We both had premature babies so the idea of a carrier suitable for babies from 5lbs was great. I used the navy cordroy carrier and found the main advantages to be the soft, well wearing fabric, the padding and the comfort. The carrier is very comfortable for both mum and small baby. The padding is in all the right places and with it being all fabric it is soft all over with no rough bits or bits to dig in. When there was the odd little 'accident' on the carrier I could sponge it down and leave to dry ok. The disadvantage I did find however were the long straps. I am 5' 5'' and size 10/12 and found wrapping the long straps round me whist holding the baby quite difficult. Once I got the nack it wasn't too bad, although I wouldn't recommend ...
Advantages: Great value, durable and comfortable Disadvantages: Could be improved with a plastic raincover and a better harness for the child
with the adjustable straps so it is not only secure but comfortable.
It comes with a sunshade / raincover and handy pockets at the front and a large back pocket for all those little child essientials like a drink, snack and of course baby wipes!
As a single mum with four small children price was an issue, it was so nice not to have to compromise on safety, comfortableness and durability for great value at only £49.99. It is easy to strap the kids in and has a sturdy base to put on the floor.
The only disadvantages I have found are that it is near on impossible to reach round and close or open the base once it is on your back and you need two hands to do it. This can be annoying as the base sticks out a little and if it is closed and there is no body to open it for you it can be difficult to put the carrier safely on the ground. You also need ...
