This sling looks great on the packaging but I've tried using it several times with two bubs (since we spent so much money on it!) and it's a total no go!
It's awkward to wear, doesn't support your back at all and I found it made my babies legs red as well! Resorting to the cheap Kmart carrier instead. It's surprisingly a billion times better than this ridiculous sling!

Hard to use. I'm sure if you used it 500 times, you could do it by yourself but baby was too awkward in there and the videos on the website doesn't help. Hard on the shoulders. Baby too uncomfortable.
I wanted to get something where my big sized husband can use but I can't even figure it out myself

Biggest waste of money I have ever spent! BIG pain to get the hang of putting baby in, baby uncomfortable while in there, both my partner and I didn't feel comfortable putting our newborn in at all. Now 4 months, thought I'd give it another shot with the kangaroo (different way to use sling at 3+ months) and bubs was so cramped and bunched up that it seemed like it could cause back and leg problems. Got no use out of this what so ever. Although I will say we have quite a large and long baby so it may be great for smaller/premmie babies. Every baby is different. I wouldn't be in a hurry to buy any sling until you've actually had baby to test what suits them and you best!

Bought this because my 5 week old loves the Ergobaby and this looked quicker to put on and use around the home, however despite watching various youtube videos multiple times and trying over and over to put him in and rearrange his position I just can not get him into a position where his chin is not touching his chest so I won't use it as I'm too scared of suffocating him. Feel like for what it is, the price is a little much also (paid $79.95). Probably should have just stuck with the Ergobaby, but will try again when he is older/bigger and see if the other holds work better for him.

I have clingy babies and mini monkey slings helped me a lot! Wish I had them when I had my 1st, 2nd & 3rd children. Been using it for past 3 years on my 4th & 5th children. Can't leave without it now.

Maybe be difficult to adjust or learn at first but once you get to know how to use it, you will love it.

Highly recommended!
Good padding, good material, not so expensive, very reliable. Buy cheap from ebay!

I love this sling.
Having a pip squeak of a 6 month old I like to carry him rather than put him in a pram. The instant I put him in he was happy he could snuggle mummy. Or watch his big brother if he chose to. He does not seem smothered by it (another sling I had seemed to cover his face far to much for my liking) and its nice and soft for him too. Sits him up enough to see around.
Its light weight and padded nicely. No pulling down which is great for me with a bad back and shoulder.
I even chucked my 3 year old in it, in the hip position and he loved it too. Which surprised me being mr independent LOL.
Wish I had of had it for my first two kids.
The fact you can use it from new born to 2ish years.
Nothing

I wouldn't rate the baby carrier at all.
I purchased two earlier this year, one for myself and the other for my sister in law as a baby shower present. Just 4 months on they are both broken. The buckles on one will not stay secure and the other carrier has split.
The carrier felt great while trying on store however are uncomfortable with a baby in place and are difficult to use. Really disappointed that i had to purchase another carrier and even worse to find out the gift you have given had to be replaced as well. Biggest waste of money!

Poor quality straps and buckles, hard to use.

Like other said, good fabric, the padding on the shoulder is great, and it feels sturdy. But, the only time I've ever actually used this sling was in the baby shop when I returned to buy some other baby stuffs and asked the staff how to wear this properly. After that, I can never get it right, instructions are frustrating, and my newborn looks squished in it, I don't feel ok seeing her like that. Might give this another try when she's older though.

Difficult to use.

I bought this for my 4th baby i used one of those front pack whinge with my first and hated it so thought the sling might be the way to go. The instructions ill admit are hopeless it's best to go on YouTube and watch the sling be put on, it made more sense to me after watching rather then reading really bad instructions.
It has three stages so you get your monies worth iv even managed to breast feed my lil man in this sling
Some times my lil guys looks uncomfortable like squished in it so I'm forever arranging him in there, because it's to be used on the one shoulder I find I get a sore shoulder quickly probably because it's digging in on a old break in my collarbone. She have optional shoulder preference for use.

I don't like this product probably because I'm not doing it right but who knows! It's hard to figure out. When I thought I had it right bubs looked uncomfortable or I was uncomfortable. The whole thing is awkward. The price is too expensive. I regret buying it. My advice is to buy it second hand that way when you realize how bad it is you won't be out of pocket so much!

I was abit hesitate to buy this product since there were a lot of bad reviews but I thought I’ll try it out anyway and It’s Amazing.
Once I put baby into the sling and all the sudden he stops crying. And I have 2 hands spare as well :)
I guess every baby is different.
My baby is 8 weeks, 58cm, 5kg.
Only thing is his getting abit small for the banana option and not ready for the Kangaroo option
Baby loves it, comfortable, stops crying straight away
instruction is not clear. you have to go youtube to find how to use.

My baby hated the sling, and I found getting him in and out rather awkward. Baby never looked comfortable in it. I am going to hang onto it though because I like the fact that it takes them to toddler size and you can use it to hold them on your hip. Fingers crossed as baby gets bigger I get some use out of it! I much prefer my baby bjorn carrier at the moment.
Can be used when baby is bigger
Seemed uncomfortable for baby and awkward to use

Hopeless product! I watched the instructional video several times to see how to put a newborn in this, and realised in the end the product was just a bad design. My local mothers group looked at it & we decided it was too big for both mum and baby. My baby is 6 weeks old. Perhaps this will suit a much older baby, but really the idea of a sling for me is to carry around a sleeping new born!
Like the "hammock" option - but only if u have a cot to hang it in
Too big, baby hated it, cumbersome to put on

This sling was excellent when our baby was a newborn- he would consistently settle in it and the clip feature meant that we could put him down in the sling to his cot without waking him. It took a bit of fiddling and practice to work out how to position the baby in the sling, and to get the sling into the 'newborn' position, but was extremely easy to use after that. Not so useful for older babies- they don't enjoy feeling as 'snug' (it limits movement a lot) and it is uncomfortable to wear with a heavy baby. Overall the good price still means it is an excellent buy even if only used for a few months.
Comfortable for newborns, easy to use once worked out.
Uncomfortable (back pain) once baby reaches 6-7kg
