Evenflo Snugli Hug Baby Carrier, Black/Aqua

I love this carrier. It costs far less than some others and it really does the job well. I put my baby in it to go outside. I water my rose bushes, etc. It's good for inside as well. I can fold clothes and do other jobs while she's in her Snugli. My baby is 11 pounds now and the Snugli is set in the smaller position. It adjusts a size up to accommodate a bigger baby. I have been using the Snugli for a month now with my baby facing me. She is 2 1/2 months old now. It supports her head well as she is facing in. When she is a little older, I will put her in it facing out. This review is for the Snugli Hug. Snugli makes other carriers but this is the only one I have used so far.

My husband and I bought this after looking at all the other carriers and we are so glad we did! Our Daughter is two months old and we were going to baseball game. We purchased this to lug her around in and it worked awesome. In fact my husband has a bad back and he had no problem carring her around in this carrier.
I own a Moby wrap as well and love it but my daughter likes to move her legs and arms and hates to be tightly wrapped up. So the snugli works great for her. If she like being swaddled I would use the moby wrap more but instead I simply put her in her snugli and work around the house. She loves to sleep in it and its so comfortable I take walks with her in it everyday. This is blessing cause trying to use a stroller while walking our dog is tough but this is hands free so walking the dog is a breeze.

Here are Pros and Cons:

Pros:
Cheaper than other brands
Really comfortable even for people with bad backs
Easy to adjust...Read more

I would not recommend this carrier for any serious use. It is a cheap carrier in cost and value...
The straps are only lightly padded and the baby's weight will be concentrated on mom or dad's shoulders rather than spread out evenly. This carrier does face in or out, however when the baby is facing outward their legs will be dangling straight down which stresses their hip joint and it puts all of their weight on their crotch.
It is straight forward to use, however I think most parents will find its use quite limited to short trips while the baby is small. For the same price you would get much better value with a ring sling that can be used from birth until the toddler years when your child gets to heavy to carry at all.
