Bliss Pre-Wrapped Baby Carrier with Buckle - Newborn to 7-35 lbs Light, Breathable & Easy to Adjust Hybrid Infant Sling & Toddler Carrier - Certified Hip-Healthy for 0-18 Months - Black

We borrowed the black version from a sling library and loved it so much we were thrilled to pick up the "vintage blue" here for £40. I love that my partner and I can both easily wear it. You need to adjust the tightness every time you wear it anyway so it makes no difference in "faffiness" going from a 44" chest man to a size 12 lady. Adjusting is super easy - literally just pull on a strap until it's tight enough. I can put this on without assistance or a mirror but you might need a spare pair of hands the first couple of times you try it on. The photos range from 6 weeks to 3 months, being honest if our son was any smaller it wouldn't have been a good match for us. At the sling library they recommended to add a ribbon to the straps if you need them thinner for better airway clearance (as we did). You can pull the straps over your shoulders for a more snug fit but this does limit your movement if you're planning to "get things done around the house". We both feel very secure with the sling but find ourselves holding his body to reduce the bounce when we're walking, and partly just for comfort (we all know how lovely it is to rub a baby bump when they're in our tummies!). I love that you can tuck their heads in under a strap if needed - great for blustery walks or for a little extra shade. We add a sun hat in hot weather. The buckles and bands feel very sturdy and the main body has just enough stretch to comfort the baby whilst still giving support. The instructions say this can be worn up to 18 months and the sling library ladies did try this for us with a "dummy" 18 month baby - it looked quite odd and a little uncomfortable so there are probably better slings out there if you are looking for something for 1+ year olds.

Love this carrier. I've only had a it a few days but I love it. My little girl is only 5 weeks and has been really unsettled recently but as soon as I put her in the carrier she calms down and falls asleep. It's really soft with some stretch to the fabric so you can get your baby nice and snug. It's also really comfy to wear and easy to get on and off and make adjustments. Wish I had this with my first born. Great quality item, highly recommend.

I absolutely love this sling It’s the perfect mix between a traditional wrap and a more structured carrier I originally bought a full wrap but found it way too complicated to figure out especially in those early newborn days when everything felt overwhelming This one is so much easier to use and still feels really secure and comfortable I also booked a consultation through their website to learn how to use it safely and that gave me the confidence I needed The session was super helpful and really reassuring It’s been amazing to have something that keeps my baby close while giving me the freedom to move around I use it every day and honestly don’t know how I would manage without it

It is really easy to use, and I managed to do ut myself on the first atempt. I have two diffent carriers already one its great but you need two people to get little one into it, the other its fiddly and takes time to put on but you can do it yourself. I debated this as it is quite expensive, but actually im glad as it was so easy to use, simple instructions and little one loves it, you definitely need to adhere to the age and wait restrictions on it as its not designed for little little ones, but its so easy to use and takes maybe a minute to put on and you can do it all yourself it means you have free hands and can get on with what needs doing. Follow the instructions and you will be fine, I would have liked a little more support on the back area personally but its workable, thsts why I only gave it four stars instead of five.

Nice carrier good that it is like a stretchy wrap but with buckles for ease would be fab for a smaller baby but not sure it would be as comfortable for a heavier baby Brought for my sling library

Whilst the quality is great I had to return this as I don't think it's easy to do on your own with a newborn. I wanted to find the easiest baby wearing sling and this is much more straightforward than your typical wrap, it was still too much for my sleep addled brain and post c-section body

Lovely idea however unsuitable for new born tiny babies as its far too big and there is a lack of support. Easy to put on though and nice material.

Brought this item as baby kept crying in pram and loved the comfort of Mother. Handbook is very easy to read, carrier itself was easy to assemble, supports your back and shoulders, no more crying baby! Very useful for babies who tend to enjoy been held-up and constantly looking around, plus it is very convenient when travelling on busy London transport.
