Baby Carrier, Squoosher
Date of Review: Dec 5, 2007
The Bottom Line: Baby carriers are RAD! This one has been satisfactory. If i were rich, I'd also try some others to see what I like best!
Okay, so, I got this New Native Baby Carrier about four and a half years ago when I was pregnant with my first. I've used it with three children and it is still in great condition.
Mine is black. Which i recommend.
Its nice to not have to fumble with rings and adjust the size...but I had to sew mine up when I got it because the bust sizing wasn't really accurate.
Also because its not adjustable, what if momma and dada are totally different sizes, do you have to get two of these things so that both parents can participate in the baby wearing?!
I get lots of "ooh"s and "aah"s every time I wear it. A lot of people don't even realize right away that the baby is there. Plus it even looks chic enough to wear to a formal event (which I have done on multiple occasions).
Washes easily.
Once you get the hang of it, you can put it on fairly easily.
I've also transported baby right from the sling to the car seat without waking baby. Nice!
As for breastfeeding with it...hmm...a little tricky. Okay, for me it was a lot tricky. But, I don't know, give it a try! I couldn't do it without a cardigan on over the sling.
Discreet, discreet!
I've never put a bigger child in this. Once they start walking I haven't put them in it. Maybe I'll try it?!
Good thing: totally envelopes your baby in comfort and cozy love.
Question: does he really like it in there? He looks so SQUISHED! Baby does seem to like it and sleeps pretty much the whole time. (or is sleeping a defense mechanism against the injustice of being totally squished?!)
Bad thing: hurts my shoulder (a lot) if not on JUST RIGHT
I don't know, though. Etsy wasn't around when I got mine, but I'd say if you like this idea, for the price, I'd buy something similar on Etsy.com (search for "baby carrier")
BUY HANDMADE!
