not designed well
I bought this sling when I was still pregnant. After my son was born I tried putting him in it but he just didn't seem secure, so i threw it in the back of the closet. When he turned one, I dug it out again, thinking it would work well as a hip carrier,but it is even worse for this! I had him in this a total of five minutes and it was awful. First of all, the buckles should not be placed so they hit the wearer either on the neck or the shoulder bone, it is very painful with a heavier baby. I took him out of it and will never touch the thing again.

Just a pretty face...
...not much more...for us, at least. we were so excited by the idea of this product and the orange/burgandy colors! but when it come down to it, we just couldn't ever adjust it comfortably enough for ourselves or the baby. we used and liked a hand-me-down baby bjorn and "breast friend" sling much better. sigh, such a waste of a pretty sling. ;-)

A lifesaver for us, but one strong reservation...
First, I must say that this sling was an absolute LIFESAVER when my (somewhat colicky) son was a newborn. No matter how fretful his mewling, when we swaddled him and placed him in this sling, he would fall asleep. Because he otherwise rarely slept in those early weeks, he spent a good deal of time in it. Three aspects of the design are great: 1. The bottom is padded so you can lay baby on a hard surface and use sling as a changing pad; 2. The sides are high and have drawstrings that allow the sling to be opened up almost flat; 3. It grows with your baby--my tiny baby hated the front-type Bjorn carriers, but loved this and still likes it. One aspect of the design is, to me, dreadful--the shoulder strap! It should be wider and padded. I tried repositioning it every which way and no matter what I did, the strap dug into my shoulder. In the end I just put a thick mitten under the strap on my shoulder. Good use for a mitten that's lost it's mate, but I would rather have a better strap.
