Greater than one weekI got this because I heard a lot of great things about it but I was pretty disappointed in it after using it several months so far For one even with the ventilation open it can be very hot especially living in a desert during the summer youll be poring sweat even with a fan attacked. Next my baby never seems to like this carrier for very long compared to my other carriers so there is something about it that it isnt all that comfortable for her. Its fairly comfortable for me however its really hard for me to clip the back strap by myself I usually need someone to clip it for me and there arent really any pockets or anything for me to carry things with it. The mesh lining does leave indentations in my baby and its a little scratchy to the touch so Im not sure if thats why my baby isnt as content in it. Overall I just thought it be nicer for the money I spent on it I mean its better than a cheap carrier but I still dont think its worth the price compared to other options

> 3 dayI have a bad back and Fibromyalgia, the back support on this carrier has helped minimize any extra pain and I can still carry my 15 month old in this carrier. The material is solid and I feel safe having my baby in there. I do with the back support wasnt made with cardboard as it cannot be washed and when you sweat it does get stained.

> 3 dayThe third type of baby carrier I have purchased and used; it is by far the best. The back and shoulder support is superior, and my baby also loves it. Points on style as well!!

Greater than one weekI 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 dayI’m 5’2 petite and the carrier fit me too big even after adjusting. It felt very bulky on me. The black color on that material shows any scratches with even a finger nail very easily, so I had to return. Not worth the price tag for me.

> 3 dayI love this baby carrier when I first bought this in March of 2019, I mainly used it for trips to Walmart and hikes with my friend now that he can sit up on his own in the basket seat I just use it for the hikes or when we’re going places where the stroller is inconvenient. I was getting so frustrated with having to deal with the bulky car seat taking up a ton of space in my cart and my son wasn’t to the point where he could sit upright in the seat so I started looking into baby carriers. I had put the idea off for a while originally because as a preemie my son was too small for the majority of carriers that I had been considering but when he finally hit the recommended weight I was all in. Pros: Comfortable This carrier is very comfortable to wear, the straps don’t dig into your shoulders or your hips and thanks to the lumbar support the weight of your baby doesn’t put strain on your back. While my son isn’t old enough to tell me verbally whether he finds it comfortable or not he never cries or throws a fit when I put him in it and has fallen asleep while in it on several occasions and also thrown a fit when I’ve taken him out of it so to me that implies that he is comfortable and happy with this carrier as well. It also keeps the weight very well balanced, on the occasions where I had to squat down to get something off of a lower shelf I never felt like I was being dragged forward by the weight because he was pretty snuggly against me. Lumbar Support As I mentioned above this carrier has lumbar support which helps keep your back from aching while walking around for extended periods of time with an infant or child strapped to you. Anything that helps keep my back from hurting is a big plus in my book. Versatile and Easy to Use This carrier is east to use you simply buckle it around your waist pick up your child and place them against your chest and then while holding your child securely against you with one hand you put your other arm through the shoulder strap, switch hands and do the same with the other shoulder strap and then reach back and buckle the two shoulder straps together. No infant insert is required for this carrier and it is rated for 7-45lbs however personally when my son was smaller I tended to roll up a receiving blanket and place it under his butt to raise him up a little so he could see out a bit but that was just a personal preference. Its also easy to transition it to the narrow seat for forward facing. You simply place your LÍLLÉbaby on the ground with the outside facing up remove the lumbar support, then unsnap the waistband from the two loops holding it and then withdraw the waist belt from the two loops. Once you have done that flip your carrier over and take those two loops and fold them over each other, you will see a snap that fastens them together and narrows the seat. Flip your carrier back over reattach the lumbar support and youre good to go. If you’re like me you are probably intimidated by the idea of trying to get your little one (who can support their head) into the backpack carrier position but once again it’s very easily accomplished with this carrier. Simply belt the carrier around your waist with the carrier on one side of you. Pick up your little one and place them on your hip (whichever side the carrier is on). Then lift the carrier up to cover your little one’s back and slip the opposite arm into the shoulder strap. After your arm is secure shift your little one and the carrier around until they are behind you and slip your other arm into the shoulder strap and fasten the chest clip. You can loosen the shoulder straps initially if it helps you to get your arms in and then tighten them once you your little one is in place. It’s an All-Weather Carrier There is a flap that can be zipped shut if it’s cold out to help insulate your child against cold weather or unzipped to allow for cooling during hot summer months and the mesh lining makes it very breathable allowing for greater cooling. There’s also a little lightweight hood that you can snap on to help keep the sun off of your baby’s head during the summer. Six Positions There are six different ways that you can wear this carrier depending on the age of your child. From 0-3 months you can carry them facing inward with their feet inside the carrier in a fetal position. You also have the option to carry them inward facing with their legs out. While they are unable to support their head this carrier has a head support that can be used to keep your support your infants head. Once your baby is able to support his or her head you can lower the head support and carry them facing either inward or outward so that they can see the world going by. This carrier is also designed so that you can carry your little one in front of you or on your hip or your back easily and comfortably. Machine Washable If you’re the type of person who likes to go on hikes or spends long hot days at outdoor events, then you know the importance of being able to just throw something in the wash and be done with it. Cons Back Strap/Chest Strap a Bit of a Chore The Back strap/Chest strap that connects the two shoulder straps together can be a bit of a chore to connect while it is behind you when you’re carrying your little one in front of you and I could see this strap causing issues for people who’s shoulders aren’t as flexible. While it is a great safety feature because it keeps the shoulder straps from falling off it can be a chore to connect it. Mesh Interior is a Little Rough The mesh interior while providing breathability that keeps your little one cool during hot days is a little on the rougher side and while I’ve carried my son in it without pants on without complaint an infant with more sensitive skin than him might not be as comfortable without the protection of clothes. Dangling Straps I have a petite frame so I keep the straps on the shortest settings possible and the extra length just dangles down and can get caught on things. It would have been nice if there was a way to fasten the excess length up and out of the way. In Conclusion Overall, I really enjoy using this carrier it’s very easy to use in its various positions and it’s comfortable for me and my son. It seems to be a very well made and sturdy carrier that will hopefully last me for several more years to come and I would definitely purchase it again and I highly recommend it.

Greater than one weekThis is seriously the best carrier ever. Ive tried the Baby Bjorn, Infantino Mei Tai, Ergo, and a ring sling, but both of my babies hated them all, and so did I. Enter this Lillebaby carrier, and voila! My son is asleep as I type. Sleepy dust aside, the lumbar support is really the best thing about this carrier. I have a weak back from scoliosis and having two kids, but I can wear my 16 lb son all day without any back pain. Sometimes my back actually feels better when I wear the carrier! Wonderful aspects: 1. the lumbar support previously mentioned 2. easy to put on 3. the straps have little elastic holders so you can roll up the extra and not have straps flapping all over the place 4. no infant insert needed 5. lots of different positions The two things I dont like as much about this particular Lille model are: 1. The pocket is ridiculously small. It is about the size of my cell phone, and very flat--so flat that I think its uncomfortable for my son if I have my phone in there because it squishes up against his back. You also cant use the pocket if you have the flap open. 2. The hood is constantly popping out when not in use. I just removed my hood for now since its winter and were inside, but Im not sure what well do once the weather is warmer.

> 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 dayI really like this. I had the stretchy fabric wrap but it did not protect against weather also that stretchy fabric wrap hurt my back. This offers nice support for the back and supports against the weather elements

> 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.
