Keeps my baby close, and happy!
I tried using a baby sling with both my babies, but neither one liked it. They were both 10 lbs at birth, and could hold their heads up, I think the sling made them feel too confined, and they wanted to see what was going on around them. We do a lot of walking, and the Snugli was perfect for taking them for walks when they were tiny! It kept them close and warm, but they could still see around them and could "talk" to mommy or daddy. Once they got to be a few months old, we switched to a larger carrier because this one seemed a little cramped. Like I said, I have big babies (30 lbs by the time they were a year old), so the Snugli may work longer for smaller kids. I loved it for those first few months. I haven't found any carrier that didn't make my back or shoulders hurt after extended use, but this one really isn't bad, and you can use it for quite a while with no pain. The price is quite a bit less than other brands, and it's held up great. It's easy to clean up if needed. We are expecting number 3 in February, and have the Snugli packed in the box with the newborn clothes so it will be ready!
