> 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.

Greater than one weekThis is a great product. The support around the bottom has great back support which allows for longer use without the discomfort for the wearer. The shoulders are nicely padded so as to not dig. Additionally, there are so many straps that allow for adjustments that the sling actually is extremely customizable to your shape, child’s size, and environmental needs. The hood that comes out from the front is fantastic in rain or sunny days. The only thing I find a little frustrating is the hood is house under the vent. So, if your little one is getting too warm, you unzip the color panel to revel mesh and let heat escape. However, the good also escapes and you either must use it or deal with it dangling.

> 3 dayLOVE my LILLEbaby and so does my son!! Hes 4 months and drowns in it still, but Ive been using the Ergobaby infant pillow or a rolled up receiving blanket to prop him up higher up. Atleast I know hell grow nicely into it the older/bogger he gets! My only gripe is that It came packaged in an amazon box with JUST the original plastic bag. I was disappointed that it didnt come in its original box because I would have kept it there for a nice fitting storage when not in use. So, if you were planning on giving this away as a gift, make sure its in its original packaging. It also had a strand of long, dark hair wrapped inside the plastic wrapping :( (Gross, I know, but forgivable. ) I assumed it might have been previously bought and returned?? It still had the original tags attached so I knew it wasnt used. I needed it right away and didnt want to go through the hassle of returning it so I just wiped it down with baby safe disinfectant wipes and it was good to go.

28-11-2024First off, I have a 4 month old and wore a wrap until my little one got to be too heavy. Lots of people write reviews and everybody has their own opinion, but I wanted to share my experiences directly because I had heard good things about both carriers. I was gifted an Ergobaby 360 Cool Air, but bought the Lillebaby Complete All Seasons because I had an Amazon gift card and wanted to do my own comparison. Here it goes… 1. FABRIC - Straight of the box, the Lillebaby was slightly dirty, but what really bugged me was how STIFF the fabric was. The Lillebaby canvas also felt heavy and their mesh felt super scratchy against my little one’s skin. At first I thought she had a rash, but then realized it was the mesh material on the Lillebaby that caused the skin irritation. Granted, I wore the carrier on a super warm day, but didn’t expect to see this happen. Two days later, I wore my girl in the Ergo on an equally warm day and the canvas on the Ergo was a lot softer and just felt more premium. No scratches on my girl at all from the Ergo. 2. COMFORT – Truly surprised at just how much more comfortable the Ergo was for me to wear. The padding on the shoulder straps and waistbelt felt more cushy than the Lillebaby. Both had good lumbar support and the Lillebaby has the extra pad at the top of the back but frankly that did nothing for me. I heard negative comments on the Ergo 360 velcro, but the 360 Cool Air version has a buckle wasitbelt so no issue for me. As far as my little one’s comfort, she is on the bigger side and has good head and neck control. She seemed OK in both carriers facing inward, but she looked to be a lot more comfortable facing outward in the Ergobaby, almost like she was in a little seat. She cried when I put her in the Lillebaby facing out initially and I’m not really sure why. 3. CHANGING POSITIONS –I like to change positions with my little one. She enjoys facing out, but when she gets sleepy, I turn her around so she can nap comfortably facing me. The Ergo was easy peasy to change positions with my girl still in the carrier. Took about a minute to make the switch. The Lillebaby was really tough to change positions without putting my baby down, taking off the carrier, removing the waistbelt to make the change and then strapping her back in. Kind of a pain to do this a few times in an afternoon out. All in all for me, the Ergo 360 Cool Air is worth every penny. Yes, its more expensive (when I looked at the price), but I found it to be way more comfortable for me and my little one, easier to change positions and just feels a lot more premium. There are three items that I chose to spend more money on to ensure quality – car seat, stroller and baby carrier. I plan to have one or two more kids and I think the Ergobaby 360 will be the one that can go the distance.

> 3 dayThis 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 is my 4th baby carrier. I have a moby wrap, a baby bjorn, a tula and now this. I think that I finally found the perfect carrier! The moby wrap was ok, My baby liked it and seemed well supported and comfortable but it was such a pain to put on and take off! It is not something I could just pop the baby in and go. The baby bjorn was ok at first, but because it just holds the baby between the legs he started to seem uncomfortable sitting in it by about 3 months old when he started to get chubby and needed a wider seat to support his bum. I ordered the tula because it is supposed to be the most comfortable and amazing carrier ever created. Well, the problem with the tula is that you have to use a special insert until the baby is a certain size. The insert is super bulky and uncomfortable and my baby hated it! He screamed like crazy every time I put him in it! Also, the baby can not face forward while front riding in the tula, and for my super alert guy that was just miserable not to be able to look around. So I ordered my 4th carrier, which is the LILLEbaby. This is the best carrier EVER! Ill start with the carrier itself. It is very well made, and the pattern is adorable! My daughters insist that this should NOT be used for their baby brother because it is a girl pattern, but I loved it so I dont care if it has pink on it. ( : The carrier is so well made it amazes me. Instead of needing an extra insert for a smaller baby, the carrier itself adjusts to accommodate the baby while still being super supportive! There are SO many ways to carry a baby in this, I have only tried on the front facing me and front forward facing so far, but as my baby grows Im looking forward to trying the back and hip carry positions too. My baby loves facing forward and is so happy being able to see where we are going when we are working around the house, outside, shopping, etc. My baby is still pretty small but the should and back support of this carrier is amazing, Im sure Ill be able to carry him for a long time without any pain in my back or shoulders. The only change that may be nice would be to add a pocket in the belt like the tula has. There is a small pocket in the lillebaby on the back, but it is very small. The tula has a pocket in the front of the belt that is a bit bigger, I would love to see one of those added to the lillebaby to carry phone, keys, wallet, etc. I am so happy with this carrier and I will be recommending it to all my friends who are having babies!

Greater than one weekI use this every day. My little boy is now 23 lbs. we do two hourlong walks a day. I wear it with the straps crossed and am very comfortable. We took him to Disneyland without a stroller at about 18lbs. I wore him pretty much the whole time. The first day, when I had the straps buckled in back and not crossed my shoulders got tired about 7pm. The second day I crossed the straps and had no trouble. Also, it’s designed to be adjusted while wearing your little one. It is easy to adjust. I loosen and tighten for nursing all the time. Sometimes we start out a walk forward facing, get sleepy and I hand him to my husband fix the belt and turn him around to snuggle facing in. Sometimes I do crossed straps and sometimes just buckled. Easy to adjust. The only thing I would change would be to be able to switch the seat while holding the baby because if you start out forward facing and baby gets sleepy, then your options are to switch the baby around and support his legs or have someone hold the baby while you take off the whole thing and put the wide seat loops back over the belt.

> 3 dayLove the adjustable features on this carrier. I used to have a bjorn which was very similar but the features and price of this were better. I have a Boba wrap which I love but it gets very warm now that spring is here and this all-seasons is great for breathability. I use it every day and even on long hikes. The sun shield is a lifesaver! I have herniated and bugling disks and the lumbar support and the upper should clip are great for me. Although, whos back wouldnt hurt after a 7 mile hike? The zip/roll away panel for air flow is great, but the zippered pocket rolls up with it so youll have to store your keys somewhere else. I only wish the sun shield covered babys legs. Baby is almost big enough to face forward so I bought her a hat since the sun shade will obstruct her vision. Cant wait to wear her on my back! This carrier is so versatile!!

> 3 dayThis carrier is very comfortable and my husband now has a carrier that doesn’t hurt his back! The downsides are: The inner mesh where baby sits is quite rough. Currently it’s cold, so we have our baby dressed and it doesn’t matter. But, once it’s warmer I guess I’ll have to lay a burp or something between baby’s skin and the mesh otherwise I think it would be quite painful. I prefer the Ergo Original we have, which has a soft cloth in baby’s seat. The zippered pocket is essentially unusable. It is tiny and blocked off when the head support is up... ... Speaking of that head support; whose baby had a head that fits comfortably in that thing? My baby actually has a small head and it still pins her face to my chest. The negatives aside, I love the versatility of positions and many adjustments this Lillebaby has! It also really is comfortable on mine and my husband’s backs and adjusts well between us. I would definitely recommend this carrier, but no one carrier gets everything done. Get yourself a second carrier that has soft fabric inside for the less dressed seasons and make it one that has at least one usable pocket! Again, I like the Ergo Original for this.
