   This item was on the wanted list of a baby shower I attended. It was a big hit and fun to see what young moms today want. recommended.

   This carrier is absolutely wonderful. I searched high and low for a carrier that was comfortable for my back and shoulders while carrying a very big baby. This carrier was the most comfortable front carrier out there (and I tested almost all of them!). It also allowed me to carry my baby until she was quite big, not just during the newborn phase like many other carriers. The way that it fit and wrapped made it look good on me despite the extra 25 pounds - other carriers made me looked like a sausage with my love handles pushing out. The front pouch is perfect and allowed me to often go out with my baby with just the carrier - I would put a couple of diapers, a small washcloth, a bottle and formula holder inside and off we went (I was surprised how much that little pouch could hold). Finally, the little rain hoodie that's inside the top zippered compartment (right behind baby's head) was invaluable when we were out and it started raining by surprise - I was able to keep my baby dry or keep her little head/face from direct sunlight. I highly, highly recommend this carrier.

   The complication of this device is matched only by its discomfort to the wearer. My wife (5'2") and I (6'2") tried this thing with our 10 month old (17 lbs, 28") She was comfortable. We were very very uncomfortable. All the many adjustments, straps, and buckles are maximaly coupled to each other. One design philosophy appears to have been "Use 10 adjustments when 3 would do" The hip belt rides up over your hips and the weight is taken completely on your shoulders instead. No amount of adjustments, trial and error would change this. The person who designed it should have had to use it.
