Advantages: colour

Disadvantages: too tricky for words

What a nightmare! I have tried quite a few slings carriers with 3 children and with the rave reviews I really thought this sounded amazing!
I certainly would not recommend this to anyone - it is such a fiddle trying to put it all together - trust me I tried very hard!
The sling is lovely and soft and felt very comfortable (almost soft cushion like rather than any stiff fabric involved - this is because it relies on how tight you fasten the straps)- mine was a beautiful purple cordrouy (I do love the colours of these!) with a main head piece and fathoms of straps. You do get instructions but these are very hard to follow (I'm normally fine with following instructions) and there is a lot of fiddling to get a perfect fit.
I sold mine within a week of buying it as I just couldn't get on with it.
Plus points? - The best thing about this is the colours that you can get and the closeness, comfort and it does look attractivve and different.
On the down side? Flimsy and very very tricky - not what you need when tiny screaming babies are involved!
A very disappointing 2 stars for this one I am afraid !

Summary: Mine lasted a week!
