We bought this carrier after a few recommendations from friends that have used this item. I was also attracted to the many different positions for carrying the baby. After taking it home and trying this baby wrap we were quite disappointed. The material is so long that it has to drag on the floor in order to wrap it and of course it will get dirt on it from dragging on the floor which will be on the baby and yourself. Not to sterile. The carrier does not seem secure at all in any position. Not safe for the baby the product is to flimsy and can move and the baby can fall out. Get a regular carrier that works for you but make sure you try them on at the store to get a better idea of how it fits on your body and where babys head will end up being. Since a lot of the cariers do not accomodate shorter peolpe like myself of 5'3''.
