Tomy Cuddle Up Sling

I never bought a baby sling with my first child,but decided to try one when my son was born earlier this year. I bought the tomy cuddle-up from mothercare as it had a lot of good features. The carrier has a nice design,coloured orange and green.It has a very handy detachable bib which washes nice. The whole carrier is padded for babys comfort and warmth. I also picked this one as it has a handy storage pocket with the use of a velcro ribbon underneath the bib,to hold a soother or favourite toy. The shoulder straps are adjustable and have quick release buckles. Although the carrier can be a task to put on at first I soon got the hang of it. My ...  Read the complete review

A baby sling has got to the most convenient and easiest way to get out and about with your baby. (Until your baby gets so heavy it gives you back ache!) This sling I bought for £5 second hand, but brand new it costs £20 from Mothercare. It has a padded headroll to give your baby extra support when small and it can also be adjusted depending on the size of your baby (and if you breastfeed this can be done by releasing the buckles you do not have to take the whole thing off). This sling will hold your baby untill about 9 months (approx 21lbs) though you probably won't want to carry them at this age as the one bad point is it gives you terrible back ...  Read the complete review

I was lucky enough to be given one of these by a friend of mine and I was very grateful as I knew that wanted to use a carrier for my son as pushchairs and prams are not always suitable. One look at it though and I changed my mind. It is an extremely basic carrier, just fabric, no padding, only parent facing. Parentfacing is fine, my son was in the one we bought (toys r us) facing us until he was over 6 months old, but this tomy carrier has no padding and is defineitely too big and uncomfortable for a young baby. I've tried Jake in it several times and he's either been too small, to uncomfortable or, now, too big! If you want a carrier, pay ...  Read the complete review

I bought this whilst pregnant with my daughter, well what a waste of money. I had heard that babies like to be in one, close to their mother etc. Anyway we put Lauren in it when she was about 8 weeks old for the first time, she screamed the house down. It took us about 15 minutes to get the thing on and her in it! That was with the help of my husband too! I tried it again when she was 5 months old, again it was a real struggle to get her in. When she was in I found it very difficult to walk, her legs were obstructing mine. I would never recommend one of these front carriers although I've heard the backpack ones are alittle better to use. ...  Read the complete review
