I have never liked the look of slings or baby carriers before and I didn't use one with my first daughter.

I had my second daughter in June 2008 and we had booked a family holiday for Disneyland Paris in the November. Having been before I knew it would be hard to get around in the crowds with the pram, so I decided to buy this product and I have to say - what a lifesaver.

It meant that both my hands were free to help with luggage and our five year old. The baby slept in it almost as soon as she was in it and she looked comfortable and well supported.

Since we have come back I have used it a few more time and it is so simple to use, even by yourself. One side has red grips and the other has blue & it is all put together with four clips. There are also extender bits so it can grow with the baby.

I have now finished with it and am passing it on to my friend, whose baby is due in the spring.
