Okay now I'm not an expert on babywearing (although I would love to become certified and am working towards it) but I do love trying new carriers and this one is pretty nice. Now let me start off by saying I am 7 months pregnant but I do wear my almost 2 yr old consistently so he was my little guinea pig lol He is a little tall for his age and about 30 lbs so he isn't the ideal size for this carrier but it was between him and my neighbors new 5lb baby girl so I went with my son. it was quite comfortable even for his size and me being pregnant. It came in a nice box with a little booklet to help you with putting it on and the different carry positions. One thing I really liked was the big pocket part unzips and reveals a big mesh panel that can come in super handy when it is hot out and will allow a nice breeze onto baby's back keeping both of you cooler. It has a nice big pocket on the waist band which is kinda cool, I love the size of it just wish there was some sort of clasp or Velcro to keep it closed. But apart from the waistband pocket is a big pocket on the body panel as well as a zippered pocket (separate from the giant zipper part that exposes the mesh). So I really like that it has all that "storage" space. The hood that it comes with is pretty nice in my opinion, in that it has three snaps to keep it securely on and snaps into place when in use, the material is eh but it's really nice for hotter weather, but definitely incredibly plain and random that it's the only white part on the carrier (with the exception of the mesh) My son has never really liked hoods so if it doesn't fold away into the carrier I usually just take them off. I like all the clasps, everything works really well and it's nice that the main waist one has the extra security button on it so it's harder to come off. However I would like more padding in the leg area for baby. I think it would be much more comfortable for them with it.All in all it's a really nice carrier at a bargain price..especially since carriers can go into the $1000s (yes you read that many zeros..). You don't need to spend a ton of money to have a ergonomically correct baby carrier. This is an absolute must for anyone (yes ANYONE, mother, father, grandparent, older sibling, aunt, uncle, friend...) to wear your baby. It keeps our hands free and gives you an incredible bond with your child!!I received this product at a discount for my honest and unbiased review. (Originally written on 10.8.15)
