Infantino Style Rider Extended Wear Baby Carrier, Pink Chocolate

Due to my shape (fairly skinny with boobs) and my baby's size (3 months, 15 lbs) this just won't work. The straps in the front don't hold him close enough to my chest so he seems to lean out too far. I had my husband try it on to see if it was a torso length issue...but thought he would have the same problem. We are just going to suck it up and buy the Baby Bjorn as it seems to have a better ability to adjust to anyone's body type.

This is attractive and my daughter has always seemed comfortable in it, facing forward or back, but it is a bear to make it small enough to fit me properly. I'm not petite, 5'7" with a long torso and for the first few months post-pregnancy I wasn't at all "slim". If I adjust all straps to their tightest position this just puts my child where she should be. But getting the straps there is a real chore, you have to thread them through various fabric coverings and you end up with buckles in awkward places and excess webbing and velcro (that is intended to secure the webbing) sticking out here and there. Adjusting it to go back and forth between my husband and me is so annoying that I just stopped using it. I have to add the caveat that I've never actually worn a Baby Bjorn carrier so I can't be sure they're better, but they certainly look slicker. My Style Rider looks like it's been adjusted to fit someone it wasn't designed to fit when I have it adjusted to where I need it.

My son loves to ride in it, facing out! And I love that that's an option! A lot of carriers only allow the tummy-to-tummy option... The carrier is mildly difficult to get on the first couple times, but once you get used to it, it's a breeze! Great carrier! I will recommend this to all my mom friends! :)
