Learning curve :
Having only used a ring sling and an Ergobaby 360 carrier the learning curve felt short.
What I liked :
The adjustment for the panel width & head rest.
The bottom strap is longer which didn't need any extra padding on the front.
The fabric felt really nice and soft, definitely an upgrade from what I was using.
I did get a bit of hip pain, but this was after having my son in the carrier and holding some heavy groceries for longer than 30 minutes. I do have previous knee and hip pain pre-kids and have ignored the physios exercise instructions.
It did go away once I moved the bottom strap higher to my waist and not on the top of my hip.
Used it for :
Walks up to 30mins to an hour.
Going to the farmers market.
Day nap.
Nursing in carrier
Cleaning the house.
Going on the tram (not wheelchair/ pram accessible transport)
Configuration used:
Front H carry
The front took a very small learning curve. As I toggle between back carry and also adjust the height when he nurses in the carrier. After about two days it required no thoughts at all.
What I loved about the front carry was that my son felt very comfortable and when he fell asleep in it there was support for his head and neck.
Nursing in it was also a dream, the panel is very generous.
For normal front carry the weight felt evenly distributed.
Back carry
Loved this in a back carry configuration, was easy to adjust once I got used to the two points of adjustment on the arm shoulder
Little one felt more support and was happier to be in the carrier,less wriggling around and I didn't have to readjust him.
With the back carry, we did the toss over the shoulder and the front to back jiggle. Both works well with this.
