I got this carrier for my baby shower, I ended up using my aunts really really old fusha and royal blue tie died snugli one instead because it may have been ugly but it didn't break my back, don't waste your money, I would get a snugli brand carrier instead, my friend used one and she loved it. (oh one more thing, the whole time i carried my daughter around in this contraption people would ask me if she was ok cause it had no support for her and she looked like she was suffercating) ( however you spell it) I tossed this peice of junk out and Im going to get a better one when i have another baby.
