Infantino Front 2 Back Rider Baby Carrier, Black and Grey

I purchased this carrier after registering for and receiving the Parents of Invention Ultimate Baby Mei Tai Black Reversible One-Size-Fits-All for my baby shower. The Mei Tai had received good reviews, and was supposed to fit larger sized people, so we thought it would be good for my husband and I. While it is a good carrier, it is very hard to get my daughter in and out of it alone. This Infantino carrier had gotten great reviews (well deserved), so I decided to give it a try. I am so glad we purchased it! My daughter (11 weeks old) is very comfortable riding in front, facing in and, very recently, facing out. It is easy to adjust to any body, and has a lumbar support which we both find helpful and comfortable. It doesn't become uncomfortable after a long period of time.

Our little one often naps and the front fabric folded down serves as a soft and supportive pillow for him. My husband has worn this without difficulty, but it has put a lot of pressure on my neck and back. I have found that tightening the straps and having little one higher up does not put...Read more

This carrier works great. Once you get it figured out the first time, it is really easy to put on and put your child in - even with no help from anyone else. The straps are comfortable and it is soft and comfy for the baby. You can face your child in or out and put them on your front or back. This carrier fits well on either me (and I am pretty petite) or my husband - it can be adjusted to fit any size.

I honestly don't see why you need to spend more money on the big name brand carriers like the BabyBjörn Baby Carrier Synergy - Black- this one is fabulous. I've got no complaints.
