    4 out of 5 stars great sling   July 19, 2008
    mom pappala (connecticut)
    I bought this sling to assist me in carrying my 22lb 7month old when I had to take my other son to school. I needed to have a free hand and this sling allows me to have 1 and 1/2 free hands. My 7month old is very squirmy so I almost always keep a hand on him for safety reasons. It is very easy to put on if you watch the video and after about a week of using it took me less than a minute to get him in it in the hip carry position. I wish I had found this product earlier when I could have used the other carry positions. It takes a little while to find the most comfortable way to put the fabric over your shoulder , but once I did it does not hurt my back or my shoulder and my back feels much better than when I carry him without the sling.


    5 out of 5 stars Diaper Bag Essential!   July 9, 2008
    E. M. Compton (Northern California)
    I saw these slings at Target and found them comparable to sling type carriers I had seen in baby boutiques for $20 to $60 more. After I ordered it from amazon.com, I found myself wishing I had ordered it sooner! It has been the carrier that I use the most! I have a Baby Bjorn as well, which does get used, but this sling folds up small enough to stash in a pocket of a diaper bag, so I always have it with me. It comes with an instructional DVD on the various carrying positions which is very helpful. I have a large baby (almost 16 lbs at 2.5 months old) so he no longer fits the cradle hold and barely fits in the modified cradle hold (sitting upright facing slightly forward against your side) but I find the side carry extremely helpful for nursing on the go. I just wear a nursing top, put him in the side carry, throw a nursing cover over the top and I've been able to walk around the mall while feeding my baby discreetly. (By the way, you can purchase nursing covers for $30 but if you know how to sew, just look up a tutorial online for how to make one and do it yourself, they're super easy to make.) The custom sizing on this makes for a comfy fit and the print is super vibrant and goes really nicely with most of my clothing. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it everywhere I go.
    If your baby likes it, it is worth the cash.



    5 out of 5 stars Great Sling!   June 17, 2008
    H. Rhode
    I LOVE this sling. I have three baby carriers: a moby wrap, a Baby Bjorn and this hotsling. My baby is 5 weeks old and loves to be carried around which is difficult as I also have a demanding 2.5 year old. I love wearing the hotsling around the house it is super comfortable for my son and myself. He almost always falls asleep in it! The Baby Bjorn is great for being out and about as it feels more secure for him than the hotsling, but it's certainly not as comfortable. The moby wrap is very comfortable however it is complicated and he just doesn't seem to like it as well, he's super fussy in it. So by far the hotsling is my favorite out of all of my baby carriers - it's comfortable, fashionable, versatile super easy to use and my son loves it!

    It was a great purchase and I wish I had bought one weeks ago!

    Took me a while to get used to how it wears and feels. My baby fussed a lot at first but got used to it pretty fast. Nice for around the house, doing chores and whatnot. Really cute print too.
