This review is from: Hip Hugger for Infant (Baby Product)
In addition to the Hip Hugger (our most recent purchase) we have a Bjorn, a Moby wrap, a regular sling, and we also tested a friend's Ergo. My boy is now 4 mo old and Hip Hugger is an absolute winner. Here is why:
- Bjorn - baby can face back and forward, which is a great plus. However, it is only fairly easy to put on, there are many straps and buckles. The biggest con s that the baby "hangs" in it, which can't be very comfortable, especially for boys (confirmed by my baby boy, he doesn't like to be in one for more than 15-20 min).
- Moby - excellent for newborns, my boy would fall asleep in it within 5 min. Takes long to put on and long to learn how tight to tie it (used about 10-15 times and each time had to readjust the tightness). My 4 mo old feels to confined in it, plus it doesn't really work in a jacket weather.
- Sling - never liked it but it may be a personal thing.
- Ergo - great in a way that the baby sits (instead of hanging as in the Bjorn)...Read more

LOVE IT!!!,
May 14, 2011 This review is from: Hip Hugger for Infant (Baby Product)
This is the best $60 I've spent. I LOVE this product. I was having a difficult time carrying around my 6-monther but this makes it so easy. He much prefers to sit facing out, but facing in also works. He also loves to stand and bounce on it. I can carry him around for a long time and it also gives me a free hand. My only complaint is that it does get kind of hot underneath it, but I think that that would be an issue with any sort of carrying/harness system. I fully plan to purchase the toddler version once my son gets too heavy for the infant one. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Best Invention!,

We love this carrier! Constantly carrying our LO has left us with very sore wrists and forearms. Our friend recommended this carrier and since we're tried other "traditional" carriers we thought we'd try this one out...OMG! It helps out so much! Not only does it help distribute the weight of our growing baby and relieve the pressure on us, but he looks comfortable and happy as well! I highly recommend this carrier to moms and dads.
