Infantino Euro Rider in Khaki and Black

I was excited about receiving this carrier as a gift because I envisioned carrying my baby around everywhere--while I did household chores, ran errands, and going for walks with my husband. Very quickly I realized that it was a major ordeal to just get the dang thing on! The only really accurate way to make the adjustments on all the different straps and hooks is with the baby IN the carrier, and we all know what happens when you mess with a 5 mo. old too much. Another problem is that when you face them out, the back support is supposed to fold down, but ours keeps popping up right in our daughter's face. She just chews on it mostly, but I'd rather it didn't do this.<br /> <br /> One good thing is that my daughter LOVES being in it (once we get going). When she was facing me, she usually fell asleep, but as she has gotten older, she loves to face out and see the world. I would recommend finding someone who has one and trying it out before you buy it.

My husband and I tried both the SNUGLI and the Baby Bjorn and hated them both!! The snugli straps never stayed put and the Baby Bjorn hurt my back so badly. We opted for the Eurorider as a last resort and it's been wonderful! Our son is 20 pounds and it still works like a dream. I highly recommend SKIPPING paying the extra for the other ones because they really are not better.

I registered for this as a first time Mom and found that it was very handy to have. I agree that it could be easier to get the baby in and out of, but I looked at other models and couldnt find another one that looked any easier. I used to carry one of my twins in this while I had the other twin and my 3 year old in the stroller when we would go out.

When the baby is fussy and wants to be held, it is great to be able to keep him close to you and still have your hands free to do chores, too. I would recommend it.
