   This has been a lifesaver on my spine. It does not work well for my husband with his straight hips and his height. He said it really hurts his groin and nerves. I get asked about it all the time. I love that often I can only carry that and not baby bag. Maybe if the pocket compartment could be just a smidge bigger for people who use cloth diapers like me I could fit it just a little easier. I love the color. I love the safety features. One of the little straps that holds the belt in place broke but it's not a safety issue. Actually the threads there came loose pretty early on.

   Could use an attachment to make it totally hands free. Also could use more cushioning around support (hurts my csection scar sometimes). Overall I it has relieved holding up a heavy baby with our hands (just use one arm to wrap around baby's chest/belly)...less stress on the back and arms. I recently had to put a wash cloth around the plastic insert (the internal support) because it cuts into my groin area...not sure if it's lost some cushioning there because it didn't hurt the first few weeks we had it).

   Comfortable and secure fit. Did not give 5 stars because I thought it could be improved, safety-wise, by adding some kind of simple strap or belt to hold the child on the seat in case the adult trips or stumbles. As it is now, if I trip and involuntarily throw out my hands to break my fall, the baby will fall too. Also, I can't totally agree with the reviewer who said that she is now free to cook and clean - - especially with a wiggley one year old I need still need both hands to hold him on the seat. But all in all the higher price is worth getting rid of the back pain.

   I think whether this works for you will depend largely on what you intend to use it for and what your expectations are. This review is coming from a mama with a 26 lb 15 month old. Some things to know.. 1. It is uncomfortable... Some tips to alleviate discomfort: a.) don't put anything in the bottom zipper of the main compartment (the top is fine) as you will feel it dig into your hip b.) wear it as tight as possible c.) once you put your kiddo on, allow the fit to adjust to an angle so that the seat side is lower and resting against the flattest part of your outer hip (rather than on top of the bone) and the opposite side is much higher, just below the ribs. It's worth noting these tips are based on my body type, which is on the smaller side. I imagine if I had more cushion it might not be so uncomfortable. 2. It is still work. Carrying a 25+ lb toddler for an extended time is going to tax your body in one way or another - no carrier can change that. Where that tax comes from matters - this product places it at the hips. I do love this thing. Here's why: 1. My toddler is crazy independent and asks to get down constantly. It is so easy to pick him up and put him back down 2. It is so easy to vary your carry. All you need to do to switch from hip to hip to front carry is swivel it around your waist 3. Storage! This thing practically doubles as a diaper bag. 4. It is so easy to put on and take off. I even put it on just to go from the house to the car because I've got everyt...More

   4. It is so easy to put on and take off. I even put it on just to go from the house to the car because I've got everything I need in it and it's actually easier to throw it on than to carry the kid and the stuff separately
