How often do you use the hip & back carry position? Is it comfortable for baby and mom in that position?
106665
I don't use the hip carry position that often because I feel like it's complicated to get into and my daughter didn't really like it. I use the back carry position the most because it is fairly easy to get into and it distributes my daughters weight better. I'm small and she weighs 25 lbs so it's easier for me to carry her that way. It seems comfortable to her-- she's fallen asleep in the back carry position before. I still use the front carry position sometimes too-- just depends on the mood I'm in. Let me know if you have any other questions-- I love this product.

Hello, we were both very disapointed with this product and we have used it once or twice. We purchased it after reading so many great reviews and actually did see many people with this product. For us at least it has never been comfortable. We tried every single position and called the company to ensure nothing that we were doing was wrong. The only feedback we got was that we seem to be tall and perhaps that took a toll on our backs and the fit. My suggestion would be try it at a store. Put your baby in it and walk around to see if it works for you. For us the BJORN was altogether a better solution. Allowed more flexibility (facing front and back) and more air for the baby to breath. Hello, we were both very disapointed with this product and we have used it once or twice.

It looks comfortable for my daughter who is 2.5yo. She is not too low to the ground. The cons for me is that it's a little tight in the back that it's a tad difficult for my daughter to get in the stroller and i usually have to lift her up onto the stroller. And the seat has to be taken out to be stowed and put back on the stroller when needed. But i think the rumble might be a little unsuitable for a 6mo old? If you can, go to a baby store that has it and see it. Because the rumble doesn't recline, the strap on it is not as strong and tight for younger babies. It is more comfortable for older kids in my opinion It looks comfortable for my daughter who is 2.5yo. She is not too low to the ground.

I started using this once she was over one year. I used a different Graco infant carrier from 0-1yr. The babies do sort of lie down/prop up in an infant carrier. Once transitioned to this carseat, she sits with her back fairly straight. It is not as straight as she will be once she's in a booster seat with no backing, but I wouldn't not consider this reclined like the infant carrier. She has never complained about this seat. She seems very comfortable and I feel safe with it.

This is confortable, we use this in a afternoon walk at the mall, for example. The space is good if the seat is not reclined. If the baby needs to take a nap the seat should be turned, and then you can carry both at same time. I do recomend this board.

We have only had it about a week and we have only had our 2 year old in it for a little while. The chest straps are pretty loose on her but I think you could tighten them up a bit. I wouldn't put a young baby in there as there isn't too much structure to the whole seat. It is comfortable for my 2 year old but we haven't used it enough to tell. Sorry!

I agree that after 20 lbs. the baby feels heavier in the sleepy wrap. that is about when we stopped using it with my daughter. I'd recommend a soft structured carrier like the Boba (also made by NAP inc., the makers of sleepy wrap) or Ergo if you want something simpler, though less versatile, and a woven or hybrid wrap if you like a challenge. :) I do feel like the soft structured carriers put the weight onto your hips well, with a padded hip belt, which i love. I got my boba today, and the first time I tried it, I felt it was a bit more comfortable than the ergo. good luck!

It is comfortable when sitting. His arms will rest as they would on a dining chair with arms. We wheeled Mom up to the table at a restaurant and she was comfortable just like that. It is a very useful product. We love it.

I use it like a bassinet. It's deep enough that a young baby would be hard pressed to climb out! Until they actually start grabbing and pulling themselves out of things I think the restraint is unnecessary. The angle and shape of this bed holds them in the right position much like a car seat but more reclined. I've been considering cutting out the buckles because I feel like once we actually will need them we'll be moving our babe to the portacrib.

Yes, she would be comfortable because her legs will wrap around you, unlike in some other carriers like the bjorn, where the legs hang down. My son is around 35 inches and fits perfectly. Though at 28 pounds is getting too heavy for me for the front position! 19.5 pounds though - no prob!

I put my 35-38 pound 4 year old in it on my back, and it was great!! You can wear it three ways so you can use it whichever way you and your son like best!! He will not outgrow it for a long time! Awesome carrier!

Yes, its safe and comfortable, but need to teach her how to use it. After sitting, push leg front and head back. To get back to sitting position, pull hand rest with both hand

No, unfortunately it does not. It has great back support for mom but doesn't appear super comfy for baby. I just bought an ergo... my baby is more comfy in the ergo but for stability, line running through an airport, I like the bjorn he's very secure and it saves my back. For his comfort, I use the ergo.

Yes, it is indeed comfortable to carry coz your shoulder doesn't hurt due to its soft material.. I like putting it on my shoulder and easily swing it behind to grab something or carry the baby but unlike my previous bags, I don't feel any twitching or friction on my skin.. Loving it! :-D

Yes - it's comfortable if you can extend the handle bar all the way (their head goes between). The stroller is so easy to push that sometimes I'd walk to the side a bit but you can also walk behind depending on how tall you are. My son stands on it for decent periods of time and when / if he gets tired he actually will sit on it.

The baby has to face the mothers body But can be worn on the mothers front or on her back or on her hip

Yes. I am a NICU nurse and mother of 2. I am huge on the importance of ergo-dynamics and avoiding hip issues later in life. Other carriers cause babies legs to hang which puts strain on the hips. The sitting position of the ergo carrier avoids any pulling anywhere on your baby's body. A friend used one of the "other brands" regularly on her youngest and she now has a lot of hip problems. Do your research. It will confirm what I am talking about. It's a great carrier. I leave it in the car and use it on a regular basis. It's so easy to go from forward facing to front facing.

My baby is 19lbs and 9mos old - I use it at every setting dependent on what he's doing - sleeping or playing. You can also select sit up or lay down position.
