4.0 out of 5 stars OK carrier for the price, May 7, 2005

I really like this carrier. I checked out the others but I just couldn't justify the price. This one is very comfortable and easy to get the baby in and out of (after the first few times). I've worn it for extended periods of time and on long walks and it has never hurt my back or shoulders. It fits both my husband and me and is very easy to adjust the fit quickly. My son loves it! He is much happier in this than the car seat or stroller and sometimes falls right to sleep. I even take him grocery shopping in it. A complaint I have is that the straps that adjust the height of the seat tend to slip so my son very slowly gets lower and lower. All in all, this is an OK carrier for the price.

Revised several months later: This carrier actually ending up breaking - though I did use it a lot. We got a used Baby Bjorn from my brother-in-law and it is fantastic. Much more comfortable.

2.0 out of 5 stars Spend the extra $20 on a Baby Bjorn, August 19, 2005

I registered for this carrier versus the others mainly cause I thought it would be more comfortable due to the hip strap. I thought it would be a nice middle of the road carrier between the more expensive Baby Bjorn and the cheaper Snugli.

Having gotten the carrier and tried it with my baby girl (now 10 weeks old), I've decided to exchange it. The $20 difference to upgrade to a Baby Bjorn is well worth it in my opinion. The straps on the Eddie Bauer carrier slip and need to be constantly readjusted. The carrier itself where the baby sits does not provide much support; the baby does not look as comfortable as in the Baby Bjorn and looks like she's slouching. The Baby Bjorn, even without the hip strap, is much more comfortable to me as well.

Bottom line, if cost is an issue, I see little difference between this carrier and the Snugli (other than the Eddie Bauer name which is probably the only reason why this carrier costs more). But if you can, splurge for the Baby Bjorn instead. I did after trying them both.

2.0 out of 5 stars Terrible, May 21, 2005

I bought this item and would not recommend it. While the straps tighten to a good fit, the straps loosen in about 5 minutes and I have to re-tighten. It is quite a hassle. I like to take hikes with the dogs and this product is worthless for this purpose. Perhaps this product is made for a walk around the block, but not for the serious walker/hiker. Is it comfortable, though, and if they would fix the strap issue, it would probably be a fairly good carrier.
