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.

Despite the company recommending use with the sling way beyond ...
Advantages: very versatile, comfortable Disadvantages: A little tricky to clean, a bit expensive

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 ...
