comfy for mummy daddy and baby.

Fits Daddy as well as me.

Leaves hands free for housework, runs to the potty and calming baby and older children

Feels very secure and supportive with extra wrap on.

long trailing ends are a magnet for swinging toddlers and curious cats and dogs and could be a trip hazard for a shorter person.

Quite difficult to find a comfortable breastfeeding position while wearing it

Can get a bit warm when we both have coats on

This has been a great buy, I wish I'd had one for my 2 older girls. I still have an arm each for them to cuddle up and can rush very quickly for the potty with my 2yr old.

My baby girl loves it in the upright position but hates being in the more horizontal positions. I did buy this for easier hands free breastfeeding which has not worked out but its still a big improvement on my previous carrier.

Love it!

Easy to get baby/child into and out of, wide fabric straps comfy to wear for extended periods, comfy for child - my daughter loves it and everyone in the supermarket comments on how happy she looks. I can also carry my 2.5 yr old comfortably when he is tired

Stretchy fabric needs occasional tightening during use, minor inconvenience. I have never used the separate bag/extra wrap which comes with it - don't really see the point. Find a lot of fabric spare when child seated comfortably, but I tend to just knot the spare across the front of the child when she's forward facing. A bit expensive, but nice that its produced responsibly and ethically

A bit pricey but I've used it loads so I suppose its worth it, definitely easier than a buggy when catching the train or going into town centre. Leaves hands free. Baby sleeps well and is lovely and snuggly. Very comfy, even when worn for a long time

Fabulous comfortable baby sling for both baby/child and adult.

Comfortable for baby and parent even over long walks. Soft material. Cost effective. Easy to put baby in position without help. Enables you to keep correct posture as sling evenly spreads the baby's weight, fabric allows you to spread material across shoulders so no fabric rubbing or pressure points. Easy to follow instructions. Dad is happy to use this sling. Variety of colours. Very close fit for baby, no sagging of baby or sling.

When your baby falls asleep in forward facing position their head and neck lack support. Fabric has no weather proofing abilities. If the long fabric trails on the ground potential tripping hazard.

Totally converted from the traditional baby carrier style. Fashionable for both males and females. Easy to use and very comfortable, my baby is always happy when I carry him in his sling. Highly recommend it!!

Brilliant!! Comfy for Mummy/Daddy & baby, convenient for popping into the shop instead of battling with buggy!

I had the Close baby carrier from when my baby was about 2 weeks old because I quickly got fed up with having to assemble the pram when just popping into the shop for bread, milk and nappies. It was quick to slip over my head and pop baby in. Baby felt secure and I loved having her so close to me. I used the carrier for family days out to the zoo and beach, doing housework, walking the dog or just to calm her on "bad" days - baby used to fall asleep almost as soon as she was snuggled in. I loved the soft fabric, it was easily machine washable and I shall use for our next baby for sure.

On hot days baby used to get very hot with her face resting directly on my chest but I just put a muslin cloth between us and this was much better.

A fantastic product which I couldn't have lived without!! It folded up into a carry bag which doubles up as part of the carrier which made it great to carry around with you.
Also comes in a large range of colours to suit everyones style!
