The Bottom Line: Good carrier for athletic and slender people. Try it on before you buy it.
Last year we got one of these while visiting South Carolina. The package was appealing and i had heard very good things about babybjorn carriers. When i first took it out of the package i was impressed. The material feels much more substancial and sturdy than many other carriers. Putting it on requires at least 2 people. I got so tangled up. Sadly we had to return it. After finally getting it on i quickly discovered that this was not made for heavier women especially with a chest. It rode up in very uncomfortable areas and after a 15 minute walk i had to take it off and realized i had what looked like brush marks and a bruise on my back where it had cut in. Also my son was small for his age and he seemed very awkward in it. He looked squished but in all honesty i think it had more to do with my chest than him persay because he was much happier and more comfortable in the forward facing position. All in all its a good carrier and i would reccomend it. Once you learn how to get it on its fairly simple. It has many adjustments that are easy to operate. It is very padded especially compared to most frameless carriers on the market today. My only reccomendation is to try it on before you actually buy it so you know how well it will fit. all in all good product for the money.
