I’m liking…
I really liked this pack. The material is lovely and soft (and organic) and I found it really easy to adjust. My baby sat on her bottom in it so I felt like she was comfortable and could sleep easily. The hood attached easily and made it easy to calm my baby and get her to sleep.
There was plenty of room to adjust the straps and I they were easily accessible when I was wearing the pack. The hip belt sat snugly and the use of wool as a padding made it soft and flexible.
The light fabric was easy to wear and I found I could just pop my baby in and out. You can also clean this carrier by popping it into the washing machine. The light fabric was also great on warmer days- my baby (and I!) didn’t get too hot. The padding in this pack is wool and it’s nice to have a product with all natural materials.
Things that made me go hmmm…
The only thing I really felt about this pouch was that it would be great to have a pocket for cell phones, keys, eftpos cards etc… Kate from Natures Sway has mentioned that she had comments about the back strap riding up and she has now made some adjustments to the design to remedy this.
The Conclusion
This was my favourite of the baby wearers I’ve tried over the last couple of months. The ergonomics are great for baby and it was really comfortable to wear for long periods. I’ll be using this carrier for a long time yet!
