> 3 dayI do really love his carrier. The pros absolutely outweigh the cons (and the cons may just be user error -- I am still tying to figure this carrier out. PROS •the lumbar support. Need I say more?? This thing is amazing! Neither carrier has any back support and now I am wondering why. It makes a huge difference for me. Carrying a baby on your front is no joke and pulls in your back after s while so supporting your back as much as you can is huge! •The dual tightening for the shoulder straps. You can tighten the straps in two places to make sure youre getting the perfect fit. •Not needing an infant insert. This was s big selling point for me. I have another carrier that uses the insert and it just makes me and baby even warmer. While wearing my baby (even on cold days) he turns into a little heater, so ditching the infant insert is ideal! •The zip down panel to expose mesh. Keeps baby and momma at a more tolerable/comfortable temperature. •straps that you can cross! Its nice to be able to redistribute the weight so your body can have a break! •although I havent been able to test out all the carrying positions, I assume this is a huge plus too! There are sim any ways to carry your babe! CONS •I havent quite figured out how to get the straps right so the buckle on the shoulder strap dont rub my inner arm. This is probably user error at this point,but thought it was worth pointing out •If you zip the panel down to expose mesh, you lose the pocket which is frustrating. Overall, and awesome carrier!

> 3 dayThis 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 BEST versatile baby carrier that you can use from birth through toddler. I have 2 babies under 2 and so I needed a carrier that could give me hands free capacity to chase my toddler around and this is the one. I also walk to work so I needed a carrier that would enable to me to get to and from work with both babies. The double stroller is too bulky to bring to the office and so this carrier enables me to get by babies to daycare and back safely and comfortably. Prior to learning about this carrier I was given a bjorn and an ergo however the bjorn was too uncomfortable for my 10lb baby girl and I didnt like how it frogged her legs and the ergo required an infant insert that was bulky to carry around. So when a friend recommended looking into the 6 - in - 1 Lillebaby I was thrilled to learn that 1 carrier could give me multiple options. This carrier is comfortable for me and baby and I love the breathable front which helps to keep her cool. She loves facing out to see the world and this carrier has made grocery shopping possible for me. Even my almost 2 year old toddler loves being carried in the back position - overall this carrier is the best. I would also recommend ordering some suck pads because your baby will probably enjoy sucking on the straps or on the front of the carrier.

> 3 dayI have used this for 3+ months now! It is absolutely the best purchase for my newborn!!! This helps me so much when I’m trying to get things done around the house. Also helps my baby take naps when I’m moving around! You won’t regret it, definitely a great buy!!

> 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 weekI would like to start by saying that my baby is a back-breaker. To give you an idea, he is 25 lbs. at 8 months, wearing 12 to 18 month-old clothes. He fits in the carrier very well; I feel comfortable wearing him and he does not seem to be in any discomfort. So, I think its safe to say that this carrier does what its meant to do. So far, I have only worn my baby in a front-facing-out position (his favorite). What I can say about this is: - fairly easy to put him in the carrier (it gets easier with practice) - you have to adjust the leg opening at the bottom so your baby is not seating with their legs too far apart - part of the fabric seems to pinch into one of his thighs but it does not leave a mark on his thigh and he does not look uncomfortable - one of the snap-buttons on the sides (by the babys chest, when wearing baby in position mentioned above) that is supposed to tuck away the head cover when not in use does not close. So, even if I have rolled the front part down because its too hot, having the head cover dangling there kind of defeats the purpose of cooling me and baby down. Therefore, title of my review. This baby carrier is more expensive than the Ergo but you have more positions available to wear your little munchkin, the weight limit is greater, and you dont need an infant insert. And, it is cheaper than a Tula and will serve you to from newborn to toddler size. Overall, I think this is a great product for the price, especially, if you want something that will last you a long time and is versatile on the positions you can wear your baby in. Fair warning, this carrier is not as intuitive to use properly as it looks; READ THE INSTRUCTIONS and/or watch their videos on YouTube (short and mostly self explanatory). I hope this review helps you decide on which baby carrier will best fit your needs. Happy baby wearing :) P.S.: Wearing my baby on long walks (more than 30 minutes) is now possible thanks to this carrier. With a Baby Bjorn, Im done wearing him within the first 5 minutes!

28-11-2024I wore this a lot when my baby was 4-6 months and would not sleep when set down. It saved me by having him nap on me and being able to do other things. Also good for short walks. However, neither my husband or I can put this on by ourselves. The other person has to clip the back thing for us. If you have flexible arms, you could probably do it. I wouldnt even consider either of us to be particularly unflexible... But we cannot put this on by ourselves which is so frustrating so I cant use it when Im alone.

> 3 dayBackpain is common post oreganwbcy and the support this has with the pad is wonderful! I also love the numerous options there are in terms of how to carry the baby. Changing from wide to narrow bottom so it can be used for an infant takes less than 2 minutes.

> 3 dayJust got this the other day and took it for a spin while walking the dog. It was at least 80 degrees when using it. The lumbar pad made my back sweat, and where my son was against my chest we sweated there, but he didnt seem like he was too hot or anything. I REALLY like the lumbar pad. I had a Tula before, and the strap just felt so much more comfortable on my back. The straps seem to rub a little under my arm, but Im going to cross them and see if that helps. I noticed that there was extra fabric there, where on the Tula its just a strap. The bulkiness may have been why it was rubbing. I liked too how the straps are closer together. My son was arching his back almost out of the Tula at the county fair last weekend. There is no way he can do that with this carrier. He seemed quite content in this carrier, babbling a lot of the time while we were walking. I do wish the pocket was a little bigger on the back. I have a large cell phone and I dont think it will fit in the pocket. I also like that this carrier comes with a belt to strap your baby into the carrier. It just seems like its that much more secure. I think it was a good trade from the Tula to the Lillebaby.

> 3 dayI was so excited to buy this Lillebaby as an upgrade to my well-loved Ergobaby Original. I love the cute prints and it seemed to be well made. BUT this Lillebaby is going back for 3 reasons, 2 of them *safety concerns*: 1) Babys hips do not seem to sit right in the narrow position facing inward (facing out seems ok). They dangle downward and are not froggy in an M position. Lillebaby is deemed hip healthy but Im not willing to take the risk since it just doesnt feel right to me. Note: with the seat in wide position (facing inward), the legs/hips feel right. 2) When the seat is adjusted to the narrow position (facing outward, or facing in depending on babys weight), it creates an uncomfortable fold for babys legs. The fold makes a hard corner that digs right into the thighs, and I can see why other reviewers were saying their babies had skin rubbed raw. (I attached a picture of the fold/corner but its hard to see) 3) You have to take the carrier off completely to change baby from facing inward to outward, or vice versa. You have to undo the snaps, remove the lumbar support, then pull the straps off the waist belt, snap them into place, and then replace the lumbar support -- too many steps!! This is highly impractical, especially when Im out of the house, and there are limited clean places to lay baby down, let alone laying out the carrier to make the position change. And even at home, I need a quick switch if baby gets fussy in one position. I looked at the instructions again (see pic) and for babies over 17 lbs, they can face forward with the NARROW seat, or inward with the WIDE seat. This explains why my babys legs dont seem right when inward with narrow seat. But then Im left switching the seat width anytime I want to turn baby from inward to outward, which as noted, is not realistic. For a SMALLER baby, less than 17 lbs, this would not be a problem - you can keep the seat narrow for either inward or outward facing. A note about the storage pocket: its located below the headrest, so that when its folded down its hard to get to. And its ON the zippered temperature control panel, so if you zip the panel down and stow it away, the pocket is completely inaccessible. Not a return-worthy issue, but worth noting if you want a usable pocket. So unfortunately this is going back (thank you Amazon for great customer service). I ordered an Ergobaby Omni.
