CuddleBug Baby Sling Carrier for Newborns - Infant Baby Wrap Carrier Newborn to Toddler up to 36 lbs - Lightweight & Hands Free Baby Sling Carrier (Blue)

My 4th baby had reflux from birth to 3.5 months meaning I had to keep him upright after every feed. He was a true "velcro" baby and I spent most of that time carrying him as he cried A LOT in the early days and holding him close was the only thing that calmed him. I purchased this carrier as a back up for my much more expensive Ergobaby carrier (when it needed a wash) but it has become my favourite. It's super comfortable to wear and the wide fabric means you can stretch it over your shoulders and increase the surface area so less pressure on your neck & shoulders when wearing it for a longer time. It took a bit of practice to get it tied on but now I can do it really quickly & usually tie it on first thing in the morning and leave it on so I can pop him in quickly if he gets cranky. Be aware that you have to tie it quite tightly around you otherwise there is too much slack and baby doesn't feel as secure - again it just takes a bit of practice. The grey jersey fabric is soft & stretchy and washes well. My baby loves is as he is snuggled in close & tight to my body and if I go for a walk the gentle bouncing movement soon rocks him off to sleep. Now it's getting warmer I just put him in it in a vest & nappy or body suit so we don't get too hot. I have had lots of compliments about how great it looks. I have used it since he was 3 weeks old and he is now nearly 5 months and we are still using it every day. This product is great value, well made & I highly recommend it to any new parents. I wish I'd bought one for my first 3 babies!!

Excellent product. The material feels soft to the touch and is slightly stretchable which ensures that my son will be snug without feeling cramped. Its pretty good quality and I havent had any problems with wear and tear so far. I received the cuddlebug baby wrap 3 weeks ago and at the time my son was only 1 month old, but he took to it instantly. He tends to fall asleep in it when we are out and about. Putting it on has been a breeze, it doesnt take more than a minute to have it on and ready for the baby, watching a few youtube video for tips helped a lot.It looks very stylish and comfortable and the best part is that I dont have to fuddle with a million straps and clips. I tend to get a lot of lower back pain since pregnancy and carrying a baby doesnt help but I have found that this wrap if put on correctly seems to relieve the pressure from my back and make me aware of my posture, when I feel like I ned more support, I tend to pull the shoulder strap over my shoulder and turn it into sleeves, which seems to take some of the pressure off and distribute it to different points. So far this is the best wrap I have used.

Great product!

Bought this for my daughter who's just had a baby and she loves it very easy and comfortable

I was wanting a wrap as I’m finding life with a toddler and newborn baby hard especially getting anything done and having my hands free. This looked really long and overwhelming when it arrived but it’s ways enough to get on and feels really comfy & secure- material is really good quality and stretchy. I’m sure it’ll get a lot of use especially on days I have my toddler as well!

It’s a useful sling for the price, baby does go in securely but after a few weeks when he reached about 8 weeks he didn’t like his head being covered by the sling and wasn’t old enough to support his own head so I wasn’t able to be totally hands free as I had to support his head! A bit of a faff to get on and off as it’s a really long piece of material you wrap around so when out and about or when baby is screaming it can take a while to get it wrapped with the right about of tightness. Personally I would just get a baby carrier as I’ve switched to one and my baby is much more comfortable and sleeps much more easily in it plus it’s much easier to put on and take off.

I can't remember the last time I made a purchase that had such a dramatic impact on my lifestyle. My 2 month old baby like most will not settle throughout the day unless he is being held. You can carefully place him in the cot while he's sleeping which can give you anywhere between 2-45 minutes to get stuff done depending on how frequently he opens one eye to assess the situation, but if he discovers he's not being cuddled he'll let all the neighbours know too! I trialled this wrap for the first time yesterday on a walk in the woods. He spent the entire outing snoozing and I didn't have any moments where I worried he wasn't secured well or that he was uncomfortable. The wrap was comfortable for me too and he didn't slip down throughout the day. No faffing with the travel system or achey arms from carrying him either! Just this morning I wanted to make some breakfast but husband was working. Decided to pop baby in the wrap and make food. Only a few steps to securing the wrap which is easy to grasp after watching the provided video a couple of times (and if I can get to grips with it anyone can!) and baby was secured. I was able to use both hands and make breakfast before 2pm, all without sacrificing valuable bonding time with my baby! Incredible. Safe to say I don't know why I put off buying a wrap for so long. I think I expected to be tangled up in fabric and for it to be another waste of money that ends up in the loft, but that couldn't be further from the truth. This brand is also very reasonably priced compared to other similar wraps on Amazon. The fabric feels sturdy and strong without being heavy and the instructional video really helped. To anyone umming and ahhing about taking a chance on this wrap, I'd definitely recommend it. Very happy with this purchase and so is baby!

Amazing sling. I used it a lot. Baby was so comfortable in it.
