too bulky, Baby's face gets covered too easily, Too hot for baby in warm weather, Not great for small infants

I am the proud mommy of 2 boys. I used a different brand of "baby sling" with my older son and I liked it much better then the Infantino Sling Rider. With my infant son I just bought the Infantino Sling and I don't care for it at all. First of all, It covers my babys face so that he cannot see out, and he hates that! Also, since the weather is warm this time of year, the lining makes him sweat. I also bought the sling with the intention of trying to "wear" the baby and get housework done, yet I can't do much of anything while wearing the sling because it is so bulky and big. Another drawback is that the material it is made of picks up lint like crazy. I have a few soft, fuzzy baby blankets and I can't swaddle baby anywhere near my Infantino Sling Rider. Overall, I would not recommend it. The only positive is that it was only about $30, so I didn't lose too much money.
