Our Thoughts
The first thing that stood out was the softness of the 3D Jersey fabric. It’s just like cuddling your baby in a plush, cozy blanket, providing warmth and comfort.
As new parents, anything that’s easy to use is a lifesaver, and this carrier was just that. It was so straightforward to put on and take off, even on those sleep-deprived nights. We loved how it could adapt to our baby’s growth, with the adjustable seat and head support, giving us peace of mind that our baby was comfortable and supported at every stage.
The lightweight design was also a standout feature for us. It was hardly noticeable when carrying it around, and we could easily stash it into our bag when not in use. We absolutely loved the fact that it’s machine washable, making life just that little bit easier!
However, we must mention that the carrier’s limited lifespan was a bit of a letdown. Our baby outgrew it a bit quicker than we had hoped, which meant we had to invest in another carrier sooner than expected. And while we didn’t mind carrying our essentials in a separate bag, we did sometimes wish for an inbuilt pocket for convenience.
