I had originally registered an expensive Graco carrier. At my shower I received the one I registered for and this Infantino Cozy Rider. I am so glad I did. The one I thought would be great wasnt. It was hard to get your baby in and out and not very pleasant to use. Needless to say I returned it and am extremely happy with the infantino one. Is structure is very simple but is VERY secure. There is hardly any padding between you and your baby which provides the closeness that your baby loves. Getting your baby in and out is a cinch! Overall....this is a wonderful, easy to use carrier that both my baby and I love!!!
