The carrier works by snapping two plastic buckles up by baby’s head and two across their backside and positioning the parental straps around the upper waist. This does cause some lower back strain and may not distribute the weight as easily as some other carriers. The carrier also opens at the sides, which can make it difficult to get baby in and out but if the child is sleeping, it’s easy to lay them down and get them out without disturbing them. Because of the lone pocket being on the front of the carrier, and being quite small, don’t expect to carry too much more in this carrier than your child but could be used to slip a credit card into if you’re just running to the shops.

Because this carrier is only really ideal for the time between three months of age and ten months of age, you will likely need to invest in another carrier when baby gets a little bigger. The uneven weight distribution and the lack of storage also make it an impractical carrier for long trips but the vinyl exterior is extremely easy to clean and because the carrier itself is so lightweight, it may be perfect for babies that like to be held while mum or dad does the dishes or the laundry! This carrier could also work for just running out on a short errand, when you don’t want to pack a nappie bag and drag out the stroller.
