It was so comfortable and my daughter got to see the world while be safely strapped to daddy's chest! It was just so easy to adjust, so going from my wife to me wasn't a big to do, which for most other products it is... For this product the price is out weighed by the durablity, ease of use, and comfort! Don't let the price tag scare...

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...

I have the turquoise one, and it really is great. I carry her most every day, when I need to get things done, or when I really need two hands. She feels safe and secure, but can explore the world also. I tried all of the other more common carriers, and I always felt detached and not in control of her placement. The moby elminates that. It can be tricky the first few times you use it, but I can put it on alone now.. these will grow with your child, from the 4 lb preemie to a toddler. The weight is very evenly distributed, so there is no next day shoulder/neck ache. I can get mine on in less than 2 mintues. My downfall with it is trying to keep it off the ground if I am putting in on in a parking lot or...

It was great for nursing discreetly while walking or sitting no matter where we were. However, on the same note, be prepared that nosy people may peek in! I cannot believe people, but I would be nursing my son and they would peek in--I was completely exposed and embarrassed. As your baby gets older, they usual stop liking it due to the fact that they can't look around, but until then embrace the...

We purchased this because it is adjustable enough so that my husband and I can both use it to carry our son around. I needed a little practice with it before being 100% comfortable, but it didn't take long to get used to it. It was great to help our son get to sleep or just soothe him and it is very easy to breastfeed in. The fabric is sturdy, soft, and lightweight enough to wear comfortably in the summer. We ended up purchasing a second sling to keep in the car, so we have one around at all times. Our son is two and a half now, and we still use the sling frequently. I love that I can carry our son as much as he likes without back...

It was just too long and bulky for a quick wrap in public. Also, the back carry is impossible to put on by yourself and looks dangerous. The newborn hold didn't work well for me, either. My baby did enjoy the out-facing carry until about four months of age, but I will stick with my sling pouches! —...

I loved my hotsling as did my son! The only drawback that I really came across was that it was a little difficult to master putting him in and getting him out at first. Once I got the hang of it, it wasn't a big deal, though. I spent a lot of my maternity leave at the library with my infant son peacefully napping while I perused the books. It's also great for discreet breastfeeding. When he did get a little fussy in the sling, I was able to breastfeed very discreetly, no matter where I was. — —...

I couldn't imagine cooking dinner, going on walks, cleaning, or shopping without it! I often get stopped asking if it's easy to use, comfortable for me, or comfortable for the baby. My answer is always .......

He was born a big baby (almost 11lbs.) and I only used this for a month or so. I was very intimiated by the length when I first opened it. I struggled a little bit with trying to figure it out. I was able to carry my son with me all te time, which was great because I was able to work and have him with me. When he became older and weighted more, I had to move to another carrier. —  I also found that this one I was always hot. I often felt that I was having hot flashes! —...

We have been using the Peanut Shell since baby was 3 months old and will continue to use until she won't fit any more. I love having my hands free to chase and coral the other 3. When baby is fussy slide baby into sling and she calms right down. We went to disneyland in march and it was the best thing I could have taken with me. She lived in her SHELL the whole time. I talked with so many new moms and expecting moms I could not belive it. It was easy to nurse her in it on several of the ride and no one noticed. It was so easy on my back. I even had to carry my 3 yrs old in it one night on the way back to the hotel. I was not so sure about this. My DH lifted he up and put her in feet first so she sat on my hip and just like that it was so easy I Could have carryed her longer I was so amazed she weighs around 35 lbs. I am a beliver in this product. Love the beautiful fabrics to chose from also. I'm a proud Baby wearing Mama. Only One even close...

My daughter eventually grew out of the baby sling, so we decided to get a carrier that she could see the world in. The carrier does come in handy for those time that you don't wanna lug around a car seat and stroller and is very comfortable for the baby, but after awhile, reallly does a number on your back. On top of that, when baby falls asleep in the front facing position, it's VERY HARD to switch her around. The fold down flap doesn't help much, and most times my baby is just kinda dangling forward. Overall I like this carrier, but I wouldn't recommend it if you plan on using often for long periods of...
