Crazy Contraption :o(
Date of Review: Jul 23, 2003
The Bottom Line: Avoid this carrier unless your a rocket sceintist with time on your hands-
I purchased this baby carrier because it boasted several key features that I was looking for and some that I hadn't even thought of that others didn't offer. I pd. $40 and was truely disappointed in how hard this carrier is to operate. I also owned a snugli and it was a snap compared to this contraption.. so trust me; it's not just me :o)
This carrier does allow baby to face inside or outside which is nice but honestly I never used it long enough to let my daughter grow enough to face outside :O( I was fed up with it by then. The baby isn't to face outside until 3/4mo old; I think I used mine until she was almost 8wks & gave up.
You can also use this carrier on a shopping cart but again; was so difficult to figure out that I never trusted I had it right and never used this featuer either BUMMER.
The head support is adjustable and this is about the only feature that worked easily BUT it's not made well. I had to use the support unrolled at it's highest position at all times; even at it's last use..the support is basically NO support or support...not support & MORE support for a wobbly head :o(
Those are about the only remotely good things I have to say :o( The carrier is just plain confusing and not made well for everyday use; you'd prolly put up with the aggrevation if you do not plan to use it often. There are so many adjustable snaps & velcro straps to adjust that it's a real pain. I also had my snaps come undone once allowing my daughters leg to hang in an odd position without realizing it till seeing her foot was blue - we never used the carrier again; that was frankly the last straw.
The back support for mommy is good; but again it's almost impossible to get the straps adjusted by all the different slots & it's all velcro which didn't please me either.
Don't get caught up looking for 1 carrier that can do it all; buy a good carrier for carrying baby around and a seperate for the shopping cart, & when babies old enough to face outwards; or at least get a better quality multi use carrier- you'll be glad you did!
