This carrier is exactly what I was hoping for. The gradient makes it very easy to adjust (look for the colour that needs tightening on the baby and pull that colour on the tail), it’s beautiful and the fabric is sturdy but lightweight enough for summer. The rings are large, they hold all the fabric well and allow it to sit comfortably spread out over your shoulder with the rings at the top of the chest. AThe length is just right for me too, there’s enough tail to twirl up and tuck under my arm to give bub a bit more head support, but not so much that it drags on the floor or gets in the way if I leave it to hang.
