> 3 dayUndeniably the nicest child carrier on the market. Weve always used a Snugglie carrier, which only lasts a few months before infants grow out of them. Then weve tried different backpack-style carriers with frames and pockets and self-standing options that sort-of work when youre out on the trail. However, these types of carriers often have the child set out behind the adult enough that long-distance carrying becomes uncomfortable in the shoulders, due to the forward leaning required to offset the childs weight hanging several inches off the upper back. Then, 3 years ago I borrowed an ergo carrier for my third son while we moved, and it was so incredibly convenient in the airports, on the planes, and during the transition phase of house hunting and settling! And it kept my little boy so close to me, which was comforting for him awake and asleep, even once when he got sick. I returned the ergo carrier to its owner, and never bothered to purchase my own because my little boy soon was walking. Now, I have a special needs daughter who will be a little girl longer than most girls are babies and toddlers. I knew I had to get one of these!! This carriers weight limit of 45 lb. is ideal for long-term use. The back support and proximity of the child to the adult makes for longer comfort and maintained appropriate body mechanics. The diversity of carrying styles with older babies is also a huge advantage for shifting weight and cooling off in heat, along with the ease of independent donning/doffing of the carrier and the child. If youre contemplating trying one of these out, dont hesitate any longer. After the learning phase of figuring out how to use it, as I experienced, I suspect the ease and convenience will pleasantly surprise you.

Greater than one weekI really wanted to love this carrier. It’s really a great carrier except for the design for inward facing baby. The sides dig into the legs of the baby. I read another review on this. I returned and got an ergo baby 360!

> 3 dayI did a lot of research into different carriers while pregnant with my last baby. The lillebaby Complete All Seasons seemed to have the most features and versatility (carry positions and child weight/age range). And bonus, you dont need an infant insert like many other carriers! I can comfortably carry my newborn and 35lb 3 year old. They both love it too! My only problem now is that I am hooked on lillebaby carriers and want more (there are so many different patterns and styles available)! It is easily adjustable and the option to open the panel to allow more airflow is a must in the hot climate where I live. One of my conserns when looking for a soft structure carrier was if it would be too big on me; I am only 53 and 120 when not pregnant, but this lillebaby fits me great! I guess the only negatives are that (1) if you roll the airflow panel down, you cant use the zipper pocket in front (which for me isnt an issue because I cant see myself using such a tiny pocket for anything). (2) I cant seem to pull the hood up by myself when back carrying. And (3) I cant use the removable back support because it is so wide that I am unable to tighten the waist band completely around my waist.

> 3 dayI have had this carrier for 2 months now. I like it with some hesitations. I am 175lbs and 56 and the body of this carrier feels almost too long for me. Thus, I cannot imagine if you are smaller and/or have a short torso. We got this because we needed a front facing carrier with waist support b/c the Baby Bjorn is an awful choice for women due to not having any waist/hip straps. I tried several others- the Ergo 360 and Omni- the fabric on those was not nearly as soft as the Lille Baby, as well as the Tula. The Tula has not hood for the baby which I found annoying. Of all of these the Lille Baby was the best option. It works. Just think the body of baby is too long.

Greater than one weekThis carrier is really nice and I have no issue with it but I thought I might warn some moms. It fits me well 53 165lbs and I have everything as tight as it can go besides the hip belt. I also and fairly large chested 34c/d. This carrier might not be for small people at all. I also dont know how anyone can clip the clip between the shoulder blades by yourself. Other than that, I do Iove the carrier and think its very comfortable.

> 3 dayThis is the first carrier I’ve ever bought. I’ve been given a moby as a gift, hated it because I don’t want to have to learn to use a carrier. I want to grab it and go. I was given a hand me down ergo when my son was little but only used it a couple of times. When my daughter was born a friend lent me her ergo with infant insert and I used it a couple of times. I wore my daughter through the grocery store when she was less than 3mo old and by the time I was done, about an hour, my hips were killing me! I needed a carrier that was outward facing because my daughter is now 7mo and I’m about to take a plane trip with my 2 kids and I need to wear her through the airport. After lots of research I decided on the Lillebaby 360 for the lumbar support and the fact that there were tons of bad reviews on the ergo 360 about the waist strap being Velcro. I used my lillebaby last night at a friends party. My daughter was in it for a couple of hours and was completely happy. She never cried or acted like it hurt her. My back and hips were also not in pain. The lumbar support was absolutely amazing! I have no fear of wearing my daughter through the airport or anywhere else. I have a feeling I will be wearing her more and more and am a little mad at myself for waiting so long to buy this!

Greater than one weekIm a new FTM my baby is 5 weeks old. I have no experience with many carriers. I got this one cuz those cheaper ones didnt give me or baby support. This carrier gets super hot and we both sweat. Everytime takes two people to put it on. My baby isnt small but is a newborn. Hes 13 pounds so hes wobbly like a newborn but heavy. This carrier does have clips for newborn support were other carriers you have to buy inserts. I like the newborn support with the carrier. I like the back support. The support worked well for me. But all in all it was too hot for my baby, probably wait until hes a bit older or its cooler out to try again. I hate that I need someone to help me put it on because most my time Im alone. Hopefully it will get better with practice and when hes bigger.

Greater than one weekIm a new dad that really likes the simplicity of baby carrying. My wife and I received a Baby Bjorn as a hand-me-down from a neighbor. (Sorry, theres no indication of what the model is on the product, but I assume its the classic version.) I wore it a couple times and found it to be really stuffy for me and the baby, especially in the early summer in the Great Lakes region. After 20 or so minutes of wearing the baby in the Bjorn, I was a bit sore. I decided to upgrade, as my wife wanted a wrap and the carrier would be mine to use. I did a lot of careful research on carriers and settled on the Lillebaby Complete All Seasons. Heres my feedback after several hours of use: - My review only takes into account the front inward-facing position, as my baby is not old enough for the other positions. The company recommends not using the other positions until the baby is 6 months old. - Im a thin guy -- 61 and 170 lbs -- and the Lillebaby fits pretty well and comfortably. Its adjustable regardless of the size and shape of the wearer. There are three areas to adjust: the straps over the shoulder, strap around the chest, and waist. The only problem Ive experienced is that its tough to dial in the perfect fit. I keep wanting to make it tighter. Most adjustments are easy to make with one hand to a certain point. The closest you get to full tightness, the tougher it is to tighten with one hand. The babys posture should tell you if the carrier is adjusted properly. - A nice detail I like: Theres an elastic band sewn into the slack in the straps so that you can roll up that slack, then secure it with the elastic. That way, you dont have extra strap hanging everywhere. - Its easy to adjust if there are multiple wearers in the family. It was relatively easy to put it on my father-in-law and get him comfortable in it. - Once you get the hang of it, it isnt too difficult putting the baby in and pulling him out. I can do it by myself with relative ease. My baby loves riding it in, and usually decides he wants to nap. - Ive experienced no pain or discomfort walking an hour or ~3 miles wearing the baby. I probably can go longer than that. The only inconvenience is that the babys chest on my chest gets a little warm. However, I dont know that you wont have this problem with any other carrier. Overall, Id highly recommend the Lillebaby Complete.

> 3 dayThis is our second kid, we hike with kids and previously we had Babybjorn, Slings, baby Ktan and ergo baby 360. Wanted something with mesh for the summer, got Babybjorn forts and somehow it just didnt fit at all and had a mesh that separated the baby from you. Def cooler but defeats the purpose of babywearing. Lille baby was a fav of our hiking group, so decided to return Babybjorn and try it. Oh God, how nice !!! It was fitting easily and nicely with an M shape for both me and my hubby and its even easy to switch between us. Ergo baby was close to this but somehow ergo baby has really rough edges around where the babys hands will be, there was always a stuck hand end the end for us. ( Ok if you carry them for 30min but beyond it would hurt the baby) As added bonus, it has a sun cover, so no need to get babys hat with you ! Also some additional back support is lovely, not much but that back is always sore so some help is good.

> 3 dayI dont normally write reviews, even if I enjoy a product, because it really has to wow me for me to spend time out of my day to write a review. THIS PRODUCT IS WORTH IT!! I do think its quite expensive, however, I bought it because a friend recommended it and I really needed to try something. My little one is currently 6 weeks and she would not let me put her down . . . ever. I had so much work to do!! First shout out to Amazon Prime and their next day shipping. I ordered this at 11:30pm and it came the next day around noon. Lovely. Ok the Lillebaby review, this product has the most functional design Ive probably ever seen in any product. Every feature is super functional. I love how the panel that unzips on babys back can be rolled up and snapped out of the way under their bum. i love the hideaway clips that attach to the neck support. The lumbar support is great, it actually makes my back feel good! The 3D mesh is amazing!! The straps are easy to pull to tighten yet they stay secure. Also knowing that this can grow with my baby makes me feel good about my investment. The first time I put my little one in she fell right to sleep, she loves it! We used the Moby and the Boba before but they take too much time to setup, its hard to get the tension right, they always come loose, and its difficult to take her in and out as needed. The Lillebaby is perfect and easy to use. THANK YOU!!
