I bought this carrier when my baby was already 4-5 months. I thought that it would give me some help on doing stuff while my daughter is in it. Unfortunately I found that it was pressing her too tightly towards me, and it didn't make her very comfortable. I figured that maybe she is already too old for it.As far as I can judge, I read the instructions and made it as wide as I could. Can't say anything, it was easy to get her in and out, but I still couldn't use it. I maybe used it 3 times after all.Overall , not an item I could live without for the price it cost me....=(
