Baby Carrier
Date of Review: Aug 26, 2000
I am very happy with my front (back) pack. I am using it a second time, for my third baby. I take it everywhere with me. It is always in the car, so I have it handy when I am out. My baby doesn't like the carseat/carrier, so I put her in the front pack. That frees the shopping cart up for my toddler to sit in the seat of the basket. Carrying the baby in the front pack keeps her close to my body, which calms her, and she sleeps while I shop, leaving my hands free. When we are out, the baby spends most of her time in the front pack.
I am not quite so happy with the way is works as a backpack. When using it as a back pack with my older daughter, it hung quite low and wasn't quite as comfortable for her. She couldn't see around me. I never used it much as a back pack because of that.
As the baby gets older, and can hold their heads better, the front pack works great with the baby facing forward. It allows them to see what is going on, and leaves your hands free. They are comfortable, and you don't have a bulky stroller to get in the way.
It is a very nice carrier and I am very pleased with mine. Only a couple of things I might like better, would be a way to get them out a little easier, and a way to nurse the baby without taking them completely out of the carrier.
