Great now that they have stretchy tabs!!!!
I love these diapers. I used them in the beginning when they did not have baby flex. They were a bit binding and leaked easily. I then switched to luvs for the price but they did not have stretch tabs either my son was between size 3 and 4 so the extra room would cause leakage. Size 4 in pampers baby dry were just right and the flex tabs are comfortable for crawling and movement. I liked pampers cruisers but they were a little pricey. I love that the regular pampers have stretch for the same price. Now if only Luvs would do the same. | 45 stars

Product great, Amazon shipping awful
These are great milk storage bags, just don't buy them from this site. I ordered them and it took over 2 weeks to get them. If you are a breastfeeding mother, you know this is unacceptable. I have been stuck at home with twins, unable to go to the store, and now I'm out of breastmilk storage bags. I've had to store in bottles and borrow containers and bags from friends. Lesson learned. | 23 stars

Totally Worth the Money
I have a version of this carseat and absolutely loved it. I read all the reviews before I got it and consulted my friend who happens to be a certified carseat tech. The main complaints I noticed in the reviews were that the fabric was hot and the seat was too small snd outgrown quickly. My son just outgrew his seat a week ago and he is 6 1/2 months old. Frankly, he was just too heavy to be lugged around in it anyway so that didn't bother me. Also, the narrow size of the seat makes it a very safe and cozy seat for a newborn. I borrowed another carrier (the other famous one) from my friend for a trip and was not pleased with the way my baby fit in it at all. his head flopped over when he fell asleep - even with the headrest!! I only had to use the head rest in my Primo Viaggio until he was about 10 pounds and his head never once flopped to the side in that seat. I never noticed the fabric being an issue, all carseats seem hot - especially rear-facing ones since they don't get direct air usually. If you travel much by airplane - be advised that this seat always has to be installed with the base. I purchased a carseat carrier - snap and go - and it worked beautifully with this seat. i say go for it, you won't be disappointed and your little bundle will be safe and secure:-) | 45 stars

question
Thank all you moms for taking the time to write these reveiews. I know time is precious being a 2 week new mom myself. I was going to purchase this but now have changed my mind. First, to all those it didnt work for, dont throw them away, take them back and get your money or credit back. even if u dont have the box or receipt. The product doesnt do what it says. get your 20 dollars back. And, second has anyone found a good tub. if so let me know. please thanks, and remember to take a lil time for yourselves ;) Lisa @ nonamesleft34@aol.com | 01 star

Sturdy and easy to use
WE bought this gate and it is very sturdy and easy to open with one hand. It would be a 5 star if it was not so hard to install. However, i suggest hiring a professional; it is worth it if you are not handy as ANY gate will not work well if not installed properly. | 34 stars

6 month old daughter loves this toy
I purchased this toy for my third daughter because she was trying so hard to jump in her exersaucer but didn't have enough bounce. My other daughters did not like the one in the doorway so I decided to try this because it looked much more stable and safe. She loves it! She really gets quite crazy and giggles everytime she does. Also, the toys are entertaining and when she want to take a break from bouncing she plays with the toys. | 45 stars

Great Chair
We have been using this chair for 2 years and are very pleased. I am considering buying a second for our 6 month old as our 2 1/2 year old is still using it. It is still in "like new condition" and we use it daily . . . . it was even unassembled once when we were moving. We used it with the cushion until he was about 2 and now without. I often get compliments on what a cute high chair we have. One of the features I like is that it is easy to clean. | 34 stars

Love them, but need more adhesive
I love these things and have been using them everywhere we go out to eat with my son. However, it has been a constant fight to keep him from pulling them off, ever since he was about 6 months old (he's now a year).I find it best to tape the bottom edge down under the table, then pull very taut before sticking the top edge down. That seems to keep it on for an extra couple of minutes. ;) The rest of the time, I usually have to keep my hand pressed down on it to keep my son from tearing it off. | 23 stars

Clever little plug
Some of the negative reviews turned me off to the product but I decided to buy them anyways because I couldn't find a sliding plate cover for my GFCI outlets and I didn't want our child to see us removing the easier outlet safety plugs on a regular basis.I think this product must have been improved some because the ones I bought can only be pushed in on one side and they work exactly as per the instructions. Basically, pushing the left button unlocks the top button and pushing on the top button unlocks the latch from the ground hole. With the top button continually depressed, you need to patiently rock the plug up and down until it comes out. It's particularly frustrating if you're in a rush or otherwise tired because on the first pull or two there is very little noticeable progress. Personally I feel that the tight fit is a sign of a good design and most certain to frustrate even those toddlers with good coordination.After a few weeks of regular use, my husband can now remove them with one hand in a single pull. The best part is it looks like he's just tugging on the plug so our little one is unlikely to catch onto the required button sequence.Too bad they cost so much (relative to the plain plugs) or I'd consider using them everywhere since they are fairly low profile and thus inconspicuous.The size and grip of the product might make it difficult for people with large hands or who lack coordination/strength in their fingers/hands. | 34 stars

Thank goodness for my Moby wrap!
I purchased the Moby Wrap when my first child was about 6 weeks old thinking that I would use it to get things done around the house and be able to have two hands. I didn't end up using it as much as I would have liked with her. However, baby #2 just arrived and I can't imagine my life right now without the Moby Wrap. It has been a LIFE SAVER. My son has acid reflux and needs to sit up after eating and wants to be held quite tight so this wrap is perfect for him. It is very easy to use if you practice once or twice. There are great videos on youtube to visually walk you through how to put it on. Even my husband will wear it with our son in the evenings to get him to settle down. There is no way I could meet the needs of both my children right now without this wrap. So glad I have it!! | 45 stars

Terrific Gate
This is the second stair gate I purchased and installed and it is noticably better than the other one we own, aSafety 1st Perfect Fit Gate. I wasnt unhappy with the Safety 1st gate, but when it came time to get a second gate, I thought I'd give the First Years a try. Installation of this gate could not have been easier, but it is the fit and operation that set it apart. The Safety 1st Gate works fine and seems quite safe, but it has an annoying habit of self-adjusting when you don't want it to. All you have to do is pull up a little too much on the handle and the gate widens itself and then won't close properly. The First Years gate has a positive size-locking mechanism and the top and bottom bumpers can be independently adjusted - very nice for older houses that are not so perfectly plumb. I also like the clear panels which allow us to see through the gate. Very well-constructed and smartly engineered. Great product. | 45 stars

Yea!
This is the perfect BPA free option for young kids. Love it. I'm certain we'll be on the lookout for replacement straws down the road, but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. | 45 stars

great crib
This crib is easy to put up and take down. It is solidly made. I use it for my grand baby and she is here frequently, so it gets lots of use. Can move it room to room pretty easily, too. | 45 stars

Great Simple Bag

Great for travel and grandma & grandpa's car
We chose this seat as a second car seat for our toddler. We use it on planes and when we visit my in-laws. The main attractions were the light weight and low cost. I also liked the wide range of weights and heights of children it can accomodate. It is much easier to have this simple seat on hand than having to move our large, heavy Britax out of one car and into another, let alone dragging it through an airport! I'm sure that it won't get the wear and tear that other reviewers describe, but for these limited purposes it is terrific. | 34 stars

Great if you baby likes swings!
My son isn't the biggest fan of swings. For this reason, I can only give this item 3 stars. Personally, I find this item to be great. It's easy to assemble and made of durable plastic. The batterys are either c or d for the swing and aa for the vibration and music. It's very helpful to be able to carry the baby in from the car and place them in the swing while you unload the groceries. I've only done this once, as my son doesn't like swings, but I found it super helpful! The swing is low to the ground. I didn't realize this when I purchased, but it seems logical. It's only about a foot off the ground. We place it on the den ottoman so it's higher up and off the floor.I would recommend this item to anyone whose baby likes swinging because it is a 2 in 1 situation which relieves you of buying another item.10-11-11: When my son hit 9 weeks he started enjoying the swing! We brought it with us on vacation and it was a gem! However, the motor did go out after 4 weeks of use, but Amazon replaced it free of charge immediately. | 23 stars

Mom of three
I have been very happy with pampers diapers for all three of my children, and I absolutely love that they come right to my door now. I also appreciate the amount that you get for the price as we have no local stores that sell that many diapers at a time! | 45 stars

Stylish but not useful
I chose this shawl because I hate the patterns that others tend to have. However, people buy those for a reason and that reason is that they are actually useful. The coverage on this shawl is poor. Additionally, there is no wiring around the neck that allows you to peek down and see your baby. My baby is not the best breastfeeder ever and especially early on he needed a lot of guidance from me. It is very difficult to keep yourself covered and see your baby at the same time with this wrap. I'd recommend you get one of the more traditional shawls instead (Bebe au Lait, Hooters Hiders, etc.) | 01 star

Ok but doesn't meet my needs
I was looking for something to use when we dine out, or go to a friend's house. I read the reviews on this and since they were so positive and it only costs $18, I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately my 7.5 mo old son of average height and weight does not fit well in this seat and the seat is not very easy to put on and take off a table. This chair is way too big for him. His back is very far from the back of the chair and he looked very uncomfortable. My husband said he doesn't see this being very easy or quick to put on a table at a restaurant...and his it would be mostly him doing it and he's better with this stuff than I am, I knew that I'd have to return this. Sorry! I wanted to like this. We will probably use a shopping cart cover that fits on a restaurant high chair instead of this kind of seat. | 23 stars

Wow, Awesome
I know "love" is a strong word, but I really love our Maclaren Easy Traveller. We purchased the Graco travel system for our baby, and it really is awesome with the full size stroller and the great car seat. However, we travel quite a bit (once a month through the airport) and the Graco stroller is not travel-friendly. The Maclaren Easy Traveller is a breeze to take through security checks. It wraps up like an umbrella stroller, and opens up easily. The car seat locks in without problems.If your baby is not at the point of sitting up on his/her own, and you know you'll be using the carseat for quite some time, it just makes sense to have an Easy Traveller.Several other notes: We didn't connect the cup holder, so it's easier for us to use, plus I like the benefit of not having anything in between me and the baby. He feels "closer". Also, the basket was able to hold quite a bit of stuff on a recent shopping trip. It has easy access from the front, but a little tougher to get big things in from the back. I was concerned that the wheels didn't look sturdy enough, but Maclaren knows what they're doing. This thing has held up through gravel.We strongly recommend the Maclaren easy traveller. | 45 stars

Only brand I use!
My son is 15 months old now and in the first few months I tried different brands. Once I started using pampers swaddlers, we have not gone back to using anything else.We have had no issues with leaks, it hold really well and the best part is the blue indicator telling you when the diaper is wet. | 45 stars

Great Pump
This pump is great. I received the Medela Pump in Style as a gift and was disappointed in it (I guess it is just not for everyone). I purchased this pump because I really needed something to pump while I was away and for when I go went back to work. I am able to pump twice as much than what I was able to get from the Medela Pump In Style in a half an hour. I was using using it when I returned back to work as well, but I needed something quicker since I pump at least 3 times a day, so I went and bought the Ameda Purely Yours (which happens to be a great pump) and I get just as much as I get out from the Avent pump, just within 10 minutes instead. I now use this pump at home while I leave the other one at work, and it still works out great. | 45 stars

IMPORTANT PLEASE READ!!!!!
DO NOT ORDER!!! PLEASE READ FIRST. I know what you might be thinking... Reading reviews and thinking that its not that bad of a product. When we read them we noticed that the product either worked or was defective but that if the product worked it was good. Now we are out $50. So as most women who are having a baby do I prepared and ordered all my baby stuff a little early and the pump was a part of that order (about 60 days from my due date). I was unable to test it obviously because I hadn't had the baby yet and my milk wasn't in. So when it came time to use the pump it fizzled out and broke leaving burn marks in the suction tube! FIRST TIME I WENT TO USE IT. We immediately called the company to request a refund and the asked us to submit an email. Ok, no problem right? So we submit the email request. The company never responded over a period of two weeks. We called to see what was going on and the lady on the phone told us we could not have a refund NO MATTER WHAT since we were over the 30 day from purchase period. It was exactly 49 days from the time we ordered it to the time we made the request. REALLY? COME ON... REALLY? She told us that we should have tested the product as soon as we got it... to which our response was that wouldn't have been possible since we had no breasts availible that had milk in them :) She said "that is irrelivant to our company's policy". So for being responsible adults and ordering baby stuff a little bit early to be prepared we got stuck with a broken pump. It didn't matter at all to the company that they had sold a product that was completely defective and actually could have hurt someone considering the look of those burn marks. Judging by other reviews on this product it looks like a high number of them are defective and don't work at all, I would venture to guess at least 10% of all pumps from this company. That combined with the aweful/upsetting level of customer service given and complete lack of caring would make it an easy decision to not buy this product. TRUST US GET ONE WITH BETTER REVIEWS, IT WILL BE WORTH THE EXTRA $20. DO NOT BUY "The First Years" Products. | 01 star

Best Diaper
I've tried generic brands, Huggies and Pampers... these are THE best diapers for my daughter. They are very absorbent, I have never had a leak or a blow out as I did with other brands. I love the wetness indicator strip - saves me from changing a diaper that wasn't wet. With Huggies, I had a problem with the diaper constantly smelling like pee. These do not emanate any smell even when she's wet overnight. My daughter has never had a diaper rash while I've been using Pampers Swaddlers. | 45 stars

Good once you learn how it works
The main gate material seems pretty sturdy, but the plastic pieces and mounting screws are softer and flimsier than I would expect. None have broken, but one of the screws bent when I was installing it and they give and wobble a little when the gate is pushed on. Also, the auto-close spring doesn't seem to be closing the gate as quickly as it was initially, after only three months of normal use. It might be very sensitive to how plumb it is, which is hard to ensure because of the aforementioned give in the mounting hardware, even though I screwed the mounting cups into the walls.The instructions aren't very good. There aren't enough close-up pictures showing how it should look when mounted correctly. I didn't understand from the instructions that you're supposed to have to lift up the gate (about an inch) to open it. During installation, you crank the plastic mounting rings tighter until the retractable lip at the top of the gate goes underneath the opposite bar to prevent the gate from being pulled up without the lip being retracted. From the pictures and instructions, it looked like that retractable lip was useless and just jutted out into thin air. I thought maybe I was missing a piece that it would fit into. The magnetic catch seemed a little weak to ensure on its own that the gate couldn't be opened by a toddler.Thanks to other reviewers here on Amazon whose comments I read and re-read until I figured out what they were referring to, I finally have the gate installed safely at the top of a staircase. It looks like it will do a good job, but getting to that point was a brain teaser. | 34 stars

Old one was great, this one's even BETTER!
First and foremost, it does what it purports to do: contains diaper stink. It can smell a bit when opened to change the bag (umm, it is full of dirty diapers, afterall), but it contains the stink beautifully while closed and in use. I also spray it with Lysol and let it air dry each time I change the bag, but that's probably overkill on my part.Second, it uses ANY bags. Personally, we find Target bags (the kind they bag your stuff in at the checkout) to work very well. The handles loop over the 'tabs' inside the Champ (yes, they're still there - to answer a prior review), and then tie up quite nicely to pitch. Plus, they're completely free (a big plus in my book).There's also no 'trick' to using it. No twisting this way or that. No pushing far enough down in. No mashing down of any handle to make it work. Just drop the rolled up diaper in the opening and flip the handle, the weighted cylinder does the rest. I do recommend making sure that everything is contained (ie. wipes, etc are rolled up in the dirty diaper), but that's just my preference.BEST of all - this one's a BREEZE to open. The old one took some force to wrangle open to change the bag. Now all you need to do is push the button and lift. SO much easier, and a huge improvement to an already great diaper pail. | 45 stars

OK product. Cheap backing to hold pictures.
The coaster in itself is fine. It's just a little square of glass. Cute.The legs are just small polymer bumps. Not much shock absorption or grip.The only con is that the backing that holds the picture is just a piece of paper. I don't recall what holds the paper there (probably glue), but it was very flimsy and I can see it coming undone over time. I expected a plastic slot. If you spill your beverage, or this backing happens to get wet, it may ruin the pic-holding ability of the coaster.At this price it is a buy for me.If anyone is confused, only 2 coasters are included in each package/purchase. No holders included. The pic shows 3 which is a little misleading. | 34 stars

hard to find and glad I did`
I love these gates and when the one I had got chewed up by the dog, I was panic stricken that I wouldn't find another. This is the only one I have found that fits in my opening between the kitchen and dining room. I love the plastic thing on top that protects kids and pets from the tops of the gate. I actually bought TWO so I could have a spare in case of another chewing incident! | 45 stars

Great product!
I bought this for my 5 month old son. I was a little scared that he might have to wait to use it, but he loves it! The toys keep him entertained and it looks like its age appropriate. I would highly recommend it!!! | 45 stars

Best way to buy diapers!!!
I love Pampers, but at Babies R Us and other retail stores they can be quite pricey. I found a box thru Amazon Warehouse Deals for just over half what I would have paid and U get free shipping. I was worried because it says that they areused, but what I learned is that they are just Amazon returns. The box had a few dings, but the diapers were still in an un-opened box inside their plastic protection. Since I discard the box after I get it, I'll take a damaged box to save money as long as the diapers inside have not been touched or tampered. | 45 stars

OMG!
We love love love this pop up toy storage thingie! not only is it adorable but it does exactly what its supposed to do. my only issue is that the top doesn't unzip all the way around. it only unzips half way. but that's probably a good thing since a child will be using it mostly. for an adult, its a little frustrating that i can't see all the way in there, but then i remembered its not for me, its for her. Definitely worth every penny spent! | 45 stars

It's nice
This is a nice mobile because of the bright colors and the classical music plays for quite a while. I have the one with the remote control and you can use the remote from outside the room. I do not like that the music is not a piano like it was composed. It is like keyboard music with some high pitches that are disturbing. Also, the mobile has some little pieces that are meant to move around but when they do, they make a falling noise which startles my little one. I do like that you can take the mobile off and just leave the music box though. I plan to put the mobile part in the car for future entertainment after 5 months which is when it is recommended to take it away. | 34 stars

Best thing to get yourself while pregnant!
This pillow is the best thing I have gotten for myself during my pregnancy! I reluctantly purchased it when I was around 23 weeks and was suffering from severe backache. Now that I have been using this pillow for about 5 weeks, I must say that the quality of my sleep has improved manifolds! It has also helped my backache immensely! I am not very tall at about 5'2 and it's a perfect fit for me, but I am not sure how it would work for taller women.Since I am from Canada, the shipment cost me (about) the same as the pillow which was a bummer.. but in all honesty, it's worth each penny! Also, Amazon did a great job with shipping, as it arrived within 2 business days. VERY happy customer! :) | 45 stars

Great diaper bag/backpack
This is a fabulous bag. I love the different compartments, as it allows me to keep things organized. I also love the way it can clip on to any stroller for ease, as well as the wipes pocket on the outside. This is a great bag! | 45 stars

granddaughter LOVES it
My granddaughter just loves this turtle,it projects stars on the ceiling and a moon, it is really a nice effect. We needed something with more brightness than the little plug in nightlight and this fits the bill (plus it shuts off automatically) I am very pleased with this purchase | 45 stars

wonderful dresser/changing table
Once we found this item in a local store (many phone calls to the stores/customer service later), we immediately were impressed with the quality and price. This piece is a perfect height to double as a changing table which is our intention. The only problem we noticed is that the top needs a little reinforcing during the assembly process. My husband used a couple blocks of wood and a few screws to more securely attach the top to the base. Most of the piece is treated pine with only the top and drawer faces being verneer. The color is very similar to the color viewed on-line. | 45 stars

Strolling in the Rain
This rain canopy is cool! It is really easy to slip over the stroller and it is long enough so that your toddler's feet don't get wet. I have a Graco Duo-Glider stroller and wish they made a rain canopy for it, but buying two of these works pretty good too. I keep them in the stroller's basket for quick access during a rain shower. Great product! | 45 stars

Number one toy!!
This is so great. My son has loved it since christmas when he first got it. Now at 13 months he STILL loves it. Its great for us because he can see the relatives he dosent get to see much. They will be familiar faces when he sees them again in person. He loves to flip through the pages and slap it against his leg. Iti s totally droolproof too as none of the pictures have gotten ruined yet. This is one of the best toys we own!! | 45 stars

whats my option?
I bought this monitor in Dec. and it was great at first. Now I too have that non-stop beeping noise. I have turned baby unit and off to re-set it, plugged in parent monitors and still have the darn beeping. I have unplugged it out of frustration. It does not pick up static which my old unit (fisher price lights and sound) did really bad. I have emailed graco over and over and have gotten no response. Next week I am going to call. This is insane! My units are plugged in and in the charger so why are they beeping so often? Every monitor I have tried has been full of static so this is the one I use and am happy with it when I can get the beeping to stop. | 23 stars

Great product!
I wanted to get my son a potty seat because he said his potty chair was for babies and he kept partly falling into our adult sized toilet. He specifically picked the blue Spongebob one. The least expensive one was at [...] thru Amazon.com. I read the reviews and was a little concerned, but he wanted it so I bought it. It was the best decision I made. Its a great product. It easily attaches to our toilet seat and doesnt slide around (our seat is a softseat). Our son is able to get on the seat w/very little problems (just coordination). I was concerned about the pee guard (because its a little short), but after I explained to him that he must pee under the guard and into the toilet he makes sure that happens. We are both very happy with it and he uses it everytime. I've only ran the underside in hot water to wash it off, but the softseat does unattach easily and snaps back in easily. We are very happy w/our purchase. | 45 stars

Perfect for storage!!!!
Works perfectily withthe embrace double breast pump!!! We were in need of storing milk and getting alot of it stored when my wife went back to work. Now I can just go to the fridge and take out a bottle and warm it up and ready to go! Also helps out alot when we started taking our son to the babysitters! | 45 stars

MORE CONS THAN PROS
I USED THIS TUB FOR MY FIRST CHILD AND IT HAS ITS PROS AND CONS. A FEW OF THE PROS ARE, IT KEEPS YOUR BABY SITTING UP STRAIGHT. IT ALSO FOLDS CONVENIENTLY. THE CONS ARE, MY SON KEPT SLIPPING FROM SIDE TO SIDE, SO I HAD TO PUT A TOWEL ON EACH SIDE TO KEEP HIM FROM HITTING HIS HEAD ON THE HARD PLASTIC. HE ALWAYS SEEMED SO UNCOMFORTABLE, BECAUSE THE PLASTIC IS SO HARD. OVERTIME, THE YELLOW PAD STARTTED TO FALL OFF AND EVEN THOUGH I RINSED IT OUT REAL GOOD AFTER EACH BATH AND TURNED IT OVER TO DRY, IT STARTED COLLECTING MOLD. IT ALSO DOESN'T HOLD MUCH WATER, WHICH WOULD CAUSE MY SON TO SHAKE FROM BEING COLD. THE CRACKS IN THE SIDE CAUSE THE WATER TO LEAK OUT. DESPITE MY OWN PROS AND CONS, I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT JUST BECAUSE THE PLASTIC IS SO HARD AND IT'S TOO UNCOMFORTABLE FOR A NEWBORN. I WON'T BE BUYING THIS AGAIN FOR MY NEXT CHILD. | 12 stars

Best Thing I've Bought So Far!!
This mobile is the absolute best thing I've bought for the baby so far!!! He is 2 1/2 months old and has been in awe of the mobile since I bought it when he was only a few weeks old. He laughs, smiles, giggles, talks, and just throughly enjoys his mobile and there have been many times I've taken it off the wall and just entertained him in another room with it. It doesn't match a thing in his room but I wouldn't change it for the world. | 45 stars

Great diapers
We loved Pampers Swaddlers for our newborn, so when he needed size 3, we tried Pampers Cruisers. They fit great. They have stretchy sides and velcro tabs that stay closed, even when opened and reclosed several times. The diapers have a baby powder scent that helps mask urine odors, but it's not strong enough so that I don't know a poopy diaper needs to be changed. They are really absorbent and we have never had leaks when my son has slept for as long as ten hours.The only problem is an occasional unusable diaper. I've found that about one diaper in every three packages cannot be used because the velcro tab is missing or sewn too far into the diaper. To me, it is a small price to pay for diapers that I am really happy with. | 45 stars

pampers diapers
I love Pamper's diaper product, we especially love the baby dry style. Economical and we don't have problems like we do with other brands. Just last week, we tried, "the other" name brand and my son leaked...yeah, might be the timing but I was not impressed seeing how my son has stayed dry in the Pampers ones for most of his life - except for those few times when no diaper could have contained anything...Wish it were a part of the subscribe and save program here on Amazon...actually I thought it was and that is why we got them on here - but it is a better deal to get them from Walmart if they are not in that program...love the product, I am totally thankful too to the one diaper company who actually gives out points, they might be small but they do add up. and why buy a diaper that holds less so you have to use more, it all ends up costing the same thing anyway. | 45 stars

I cannot say enough good things about this product
I am so ridiculously happy that I bought this. It is easy to use, versatile, well-constructed and so convenient. I wish I had bought one sooner. It is so much easier on my back than the other carrier I have (a Snuggli) because it balances the weight on the back and the shoulders. | 45 stars

Loves it at 5 months old!
My 5 month-old LOVES this jumperoo. My oldest, now 7 year-old daughter, had the first generation Jumperoo (it did not rotate, just bounced) and she only mildly enjoyed it, so we gave it away once she outgrew it. We bought this Rainforest Jumperoo on Craigslist last week; it took my daughter 2 days to figure out how to bounce in it and she'll happily play in it for 20-30 minutes at a time. She likes the teether and all the spinning features that she can study and bat around. Not sure how other 5 month-olds would do on it; she is big for her age (more like an 8-month old in weight and length) and has no problems sitting up in it. This toy folds up reasonably well if you want to stow it in a corner, and the music/sounds are only mildly annoying (like all baby toys); we keep the sound off most of the time. | 34 stars

Works Great
This works wonderfully, once you learn how to snap the bar up and down to fix it into place. Our very rambunctious son can't take it down. Works very very well. | 45 stars

Great for soothing baby
My 3 month old has painful gas and this really soothes him. It smells really nice and calming. The warmth helps him relax and pass the gas without hurting. He usually calms down within 2 minutes and is asleep in 5 minutes. We love it! The only thing to be aware of is that the packet of herbs that you heat up needs to be replaced after about 12 times you heat it because it looses its smell. | 45 stars

Satisfied
This seatsaver is one of the few wide enough and tall enough for SUVs. In contrast to one of the other reviews (and I am NOT affiliated with the seat manufacturer), this seat does the job adequately, and one should not post a poor rating without researching the specs, measurements, fit, etc., IMHO. There is no "universal" seat saver or, for that matter, car seat, that will fit every car. This one manages to catch most of the itty-bitty things that kids manage to somehow accumulate and is sturdy enough for the car seat not to make indentations on the actual seat, and hence, serves its purpose well. | 34 stars

Great swaddle if you want to control baby's hands
This is the only swaddle blanket that we have managed to utilize thus far because our little one has a tendency to take his arms out of all the others. It's impossible to remove his arms and hands from this swaddle and once he is wrapped up and cozy, he loves it! | 45 stars

Co-sleeper invaluable for first-time parents!
Our son is four months old he has slept in the co-sleeper every night since he was born. I know that soon he'll outgrow it and that he'll have to go into his own room across the hall in his crib but I'm going to keep him near us as long as we can, and the Arms Reach mini co-sleeper enables this. As a first-time mom I had all of the classic night time worries, but the co-sleeper has made our nights so much easier. To be able to roll over and keep your face close to his, your hand on his back, all the while him being in his own bed and you in yours, is invaluable. Also, the co-sleeper lets you easily pull him into bed with you for feeding and then gently transfer him back to bed with little disruption. Again, as first-time parents, we weren't sure what the 'right' thing to do was regarding night time, but I can now vouch for the co-sleeper that it gives you the best of both worlds - being able to sleep without baby, yet having him close enough that your worries are allayed and you can hear and respond to the slightest noise or distress. Sure, you may have to pay attention to assembly and straps and such, and yes it does make climbing in and out of that side of the bed slightly more cumbersome, but it's a small price to pay for its functionality and practicality. We love our mini co-sleeper! | 45 stars

Good solution.
I bought this pillow in my 6th month, as the side sleeping with a regular a pillow between my knees was getting uncomfortable and flipping over with the regular pillow was whacking my husband.The good: This pillow is very soft and also firm. The headrest is firm enough to support my neck and head well. I was worried it would not be as I normally sleep with a special pillow. So far (end of 7th month) no neck issues. The knee support part is very comfortable and I find that I can roll almost to the point of being on my stomach, but not actually on my stomach because the pillow is supporting me along with my bent top knee, which gives me an alternative position. This is good as I am a major flipper. The pillow case is nice and soft, though I have not yet tried to remove it...that might be a challenge.The drawbacks: I read one review where someone said they were too short for it. Well I am 6 feet tall, and the part that curves near the belly is a bit too high for me. Not a major issue, but could be as my belly grows. The other drawback is the way the curved seam at the inside of the uppermost curve is sewn. It is somewhat squared off, which creates a taut seam that can dig into the neck if you sleep too high on the pillow. This issue is solved by sliding down a bit, but as I mentioned, I am already a bit too tall for it. As my belly grows I may try taking the pillow case off, so the seam is not an issue and I can slide up to where my belly fits the curve. It would be nice however, if the maker could round this seam better or use a stretch stitch to alleviate this issue.Overall, this is a great product. It is well made and durable, and can act as a nursing pillow after baby arrives. I have been sleeping much more soundly since I got it, and my husband has gotten used to being relegated to one third of our queen. | 34 stars

Why didn't they have this when I was a kid?
I want to hug who invented these! There is nothing more painful than watching your little one fall asleep in the most uncomfortable position in the back seat while you are driving. And I must say my parent's approach of waking us up was not an acceptable solution. This pillow catches their sleepy heads either way they go, without pushing their neck forward. And thanks to the seatbelt, they can't fall anywhere else. Problem solved! | 45 stars

didn't work for us
We tried to find a metal gate that pressure mounted for the bottom of our stairs. We found this gate but it didn't work for us. It comes with 2 attachments- a narrow one and a wide one- you can use one or both. Our space was 37 1/2 inches wide, but neither attachment worked. The narrow one was too narrow (we made it as tight as we could, but the gate still wiggled back and forth), and the wide one was too wide. So it does not fit all spaces. Plus it was too tall to attach to our 30 inch tall bannister. We tried putting plywood up against the banister and readjusting the handrail...but nothing worked. We had to return it. | 23 stars

Great swing!
I've been using the swing since day one! My daughter likes it in swing mode vs cradle mode and I love that we have the choice if she changes her mind. It's very easy to change between modes, I can do it one handed. The music is great and really helps put her to sleep. I think the lavender color a little on the girly side but still plan to use it if we have a boy. The mobile is cute and the stars are a great effect at night although i think a little bright. My daughter tends to play with the mobile rather than have it lull her to sleep. The curtain easily detaches if your child is like mine and eventually started grabbing it. It is really cute though. The description says you need batteries but mine has the option of AC adapter or batteries. I've never used batteries since I don't really move it much.As a side note, i bought another papasan swing (the bumble bee one) at a thrift store for use at grandma's house. This one did not have an AC adapter and the swing ran fine in battery mode. We even put used batteries in and they still didn't die after 7 days of use. I love love love this swing! It's quiet, has many options, and very cute! | 45 stars

Great Stroller
I have had this stroller for three months, we got it when my boys were newborn and 2 1/2. I got the Serengetti style which is a lovely light brown and plaid. I have a Graco SafeSeat for my newborn which works great with this stroller. We have taken this stroller all over Florida and back and we have totally fallen in love with it. I read hundreds of reviews for double strollers on many sites, and was so worried that I would buy an expensive double stroller and then my almost three year old would decide he was done with riding in strollers, but I was also afraid if I bought the sit and stand that it's not right for him at the present time. This stoller solves both of those dilemmas. If you have the same concerns you really ought to consider this stroller. Target carries them in stock usually so you can probably see one in person there.What I love:** The conversion from standing to sitting is pretty simple, we did it twice without the directions which we had left at home..and yet we still figured it out quickly. The first time took probably about 5 minutes and the second about 3.** The jumpseat on my stroller is padded which is good. The sitting seats have 5 point harnasses which I like very much.As far as the second seat staying in somewhat of a recline position, we started putting the car carrier in the back seat, where it sits securely, and then my toddler sits in the front seat so he can look out and have the tray. (and leave his poor little brother ALONE...good grief) This also makes the stroller a little bit easier to maneuver as an added benefit. While this is not the intended design, it works great for us.** It's not terrible heavy and it fits in my 1995 Ford Escort LX in both directions, both across the trunk from wheel to wheel as well as depth wise from the backseat to the trunk latch. I can easily get it in and out of the trunk by myself, if you can lift your toddler, this stroller isn't a great deal heavier..**It sets up very easily, and collapses quickly with one hand, although I find it a little annoying that the stroller actually folds flatter than what the safety latch holds closed. So, if you use the safety latch the stoller is not folded as flat as it can go, but that's a minor technicality.** The parent cupholders are pretty deep which is a nice feature.What I hope they fix in future models:** As mentioned it's difficult to get into the bottom storage basket, HOWEVER the basket is very large and does hold a fair amount once you get it in. And if you pull all the snaps off you can get stuff in pretty well. For longer trips out where I am in and out of my newborn's diaper bag all the time, I just hang the diaper bag off the handle bars behind the second seat and that works for me.** The back seat in continual recline mode is annoying but I am going to try the dowel rod trick of one of the other posters to see if that works. Otherwise my 2 1/2 year old just sits up straight and doesn't really notice it anyway.** Idle cosmetic wishes: I wish the handle bar adjusted up and down like my single stroller. Wouldn't mind a tray in the second seat.Overall the minuses are minor compared to the pluses. We adore this stroller and would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat. | 34 stars

a must buy
This is a must buy for any newborn. I didn't think so before having one but getting one convinced me. It makes holding a baby so much easier. Your arms don't get tired and it's more comfortable for the baby too. My wife tells me it's fantastic for nursing and I don't know how I'd bottle feed without it. We also use it when our baby occasionally sleeps in our bed or in our recliner with us because it creates a more secure hold for the child. | 45 stars

Ok product
This product is not my favorite. I do like how the food stays warm since my son is a slow eater. But the suction part does not work at all. My son can easily pick the dish up and throw it on the floor. I recommend it for young babies before they want to grab everything. | 23 stars

Mixed blessing
This car seat is the best and the worst.Pros-- The most comfortable of the 4 child seats we've owned.- Head restraints keep my daughter's head from rolling, or nodding forward. No other seat gave this sort of protection while the child was sleeping and relaxed.- Side bolsters keep her from reaching the door locks, levers and window controls- Very adjustable harness and head restraint height, to keep up with her growth.Cons--Harness has occasionally loosened while driving. Literally gone slack. The only fix we found was yanking on the harness to set the locking mechanism, after retightening the pull strap. The pull strap doesn't activate this locking action, only pulling the harness does,-HEAVY! I carried this thing from long term airport parking to the plane, a bit much on one arm. I had a screaming 37 lb, 3 yr old in the other arm. My wife simply can't install, uninstall or carry this thing.- Harness straps are too wide for buckles and are getting gnarled.The straps are roughly 1 1/4 inch wide, going through buckles with slots 1 inch wide. This mismatch is putting wear on the straps, to the point where I may contact Recaro. | 23 stars

This is the BEST baby/dog gate ... if you can figure it out.
After doing much research, I decided to go with this gate, even though it's described as being strictly for use on stairways. Quite simply, you install the hinge points on one wall, and the catch points on the other wall, and you've got a gate you can use for any purposes. It's easy to open and close, and sturdy as hell (assuming you use very good drywall anchors), but doesn't really come with any directions, so you've got to be a little handy and be able to figure out how it goes.For one thing, as I said, use heavy-duty drywall anchors (as in the spirally self-drilling ones). Otherwise, the hinge side will eventually work itself free. Also, use drywall/deck/wood screws to mount the wall pieces instead of the wimpy screws it comes with.The 'directions' it comes with are a couple of long strips of paper with drawings of the wall-mounting pieces on them. So ... you line the papers up on the wall where you want the gate, and use them as a guide. Pretty crude, but works with skill. I just used a screw to poke holes through the drawing's screw-points, then folded up the paper to use in the future if I ever move the gate.A gate mounted to the wall like this is FAR superior to any of those pressure gates (which don't permanently attach), which are finnicky, hard to open and close, have a bar on the floor you have to step over, and get all out-of-whack if you have to take it down.Great gate. I'm sure it works well for stairs, too. | 45 stars

Versatile product!
The baby ktan was great for baby and I. Great for kids who want to be held a lot, or even if you need to get things done around the house and want to bring baby along. the different positions make it easy for baby to sleep, snuggle or be an observer. I love it. It also has better back support than other carriers because it wraps and is made of soft jersey fabric | 34 stars

Great value
I own a baby bjorn and my sholders hurt after just a few minutes. This carreir has a HIP STRAP that takes all that weight off your sholders and distributes it better and carries much of the weight on your hips. It was a little cumbersom to put on but the comfort was way better than my $90 bjorn. I would highly recommend this carrier. For the price, I don't think you can do better. | 34 stars

Not as good as I had hoped for
I found these bags to be hard to tear straight on the perforation. Also, they have a very small area to write on. They do stand up and seal well and are pretty easy to attach to the breast shields. I was using the Medela bottles to pump in and then putting it into the Gerber storage bags. I thought it would be easier to pump straight into the bag while at work, but later realized that pumping straight into the bag does not allow you to get an accurate measurement of how much milk you have pumped. So, I am back to pumping into the bottles and then using these bags for storage. I think I will just buy the cheaper Gerber bags when these are gone. | 23 stars

Excellent monitor for price
We wanted to purchase a good monitor for a good price. After reading the reviews on here we decided to purchase this monitor and have been more than pleased. We place the monitor across the room from the baby and it picks up everything. We can even here the baby change positions. We've had this monitor for over 3 months and have had no problems. | 45 stars

Great pump, low price, long lasting
I've been using this pump 3 times a day, 5 days a week, for the past 6 months and it works just as it did the first day. It has the same suctioning power of a Madela for a third of the price. A little background: during the first month of my baby's life I used a hospital grade Madela Symphony that I rented from my hospital. So here is my comparison of the two:The Madela has a dial that varies the degree of suction, and it is much quieter, but it is very bulky and heavy.The Lansinoh has buttons that allow you to vary the degree of suction and the speed as well, it has a timer that allows you to see how long you've been pumping,it is very light weight, but it is quite loud. (To muffle the loudness of the Lansinoh pump I simply place it under my knees while pumping at work. No one has ever complained of hearing me.)Another thing to point out is that the tubes from a Madela are not protected, so water vapor can build up in the tubes. The Lansinoh tubes are not in direct contact with the pump opening so the always have remained dry.In a nutshell, it's a great pump for a great price, but if you have money and don't mind a bulky, heavy, quieter pump,then get the Madela. | 45 stars

Skeptic, but impressed
I tried every bottle out there for my son, thinking it had to be the nipples that were causing the problems. But after much skeptimism i broke down and purchased this bottle.

Great fun!
We got this when my son was just over the age of 4 months because our doctor recommended this type of toy to help with development. Yes, it is more expensive than some of the others, but he has loved it from the beginning. There are lots of toys for him to play with and things for him to figure out. He didn't stay in long in the beginning, but the older he gets the longer he has been playing in it. My husband had no trouble putting it together despite the many little pieces, and we feel it was worth the 30+ minutes it took to assemble. Also, we have not experienced any safety issues thus far and our son is now over 5 months old. | 45 stars

Super silly :)
This pacifier is super silly-especially when my little one (10 months) hams it up. My baby usually gets attention (she's a people person), but I love hearing the random giggles as we go by.Just a note because I couldn't find info on it when I first looked: The shape of the actual sucking part is more like the playtex pacifier style (with the upturn on the end). We usually use advent which has a different style. | 34 stars

Good UV protection
Works well to keep the sun out...fabric is quite thick compared to other UV shades that I have for other strollers, so it gets a bit hot, but still work great with my Maclaren Triumph stroller. | 34 stars

Nice for younger children
I have a five year old daughter and a two year old son. With both of them in the stroller, it becomes very heavy and hard to push. My daughter is petite so when I looked at the photo online of two larger boys, I thought my children would definitely fit; and they do, but not without intense physical labor on the person pushing! lol! The thing I love about it is that it's a great weaning tool to get my daughter used to walking. We had a double jogging stroller before so she would just sit back and enjoy the ride. Now, she is walking and only using the stroller when she becomes too tired. The stroller is very easy to fold down and place into the car. I love how easy it is to put together and how fast it arrived ( I live in Germany and it was here in a week)! We are really enjoying this stroller! It's perfect for when my daughter is in school and it's just my son and I. Instead of lugging around a large double jogging stroller, I can whip this in and out of the car/store for much easier manuevering. And when my son gets tired of sitting, I can let him stand without having to chase him all over the store! It's been worth every penny. My only regret is that I didn't purchase it sooner - when they were 4 and 1 yrs of age; it would have been perfect. I highly recommend buying the parent travel organizer with it. We did and we love it! I can put my wallet, keys, drinks, and I-Pod in it and we're on our way! | 45 stars

A hit since day 1
My daughter is 5.5 months old. I got her a pretty highly rated, if not the best rated, and expensive excesaucer. She liked it well enough. She was about 4 months when we first put her in it. Before that she had a bouncy seat which she liked well enough. She still uses both those items. However, she loves this from the first minute she got in it. That never happened before. She loves being in this thing so much she screams when we try to get her out of it. I didn't write reviews for any of those other items I mentioned above. But I felt this deserved my taking a few minutes of my time so that other parents could be reassured that this little jumperoo is well worth the money. I have an easy going, happy go lucky baby, but she is an even happier baby in this thing. Get it! I move it around our condo so I can do things while she jumps in it and laughs away. I don't really care that it's green, clashes with everything we own, and adds to the collection of plastic junk we seem to be acquiring. I don't think there is much we can do about that anymore- unless we hit the jackpot and we can build a house where we can give her a whole wing of it ;) | 45 stars

hate the shape of this spoon
my child has to open his mouth in a weird way to get food off this spoon, its not good for feeding him nor for feeding himself as its unidirectional (the bend in the spoon functional end - hard to describe) - and its shallow - just totally weird - throwing mine in the goodwill bag | 01 star

Great Stroller!!
This is a fantastic stroller - I have a 20 month old and a 4.5 year old and we were going on a trip and I was really wanting something for both of them. My sister recommended this stroller and it is perfect for us. My 4 year old loves that he can get in and out on his own and also that he can rest and not have to ask to be picked up when we have lots of walking to do. The front seat for my 20 month old is very comfortable, he doesn't complain and seems very content. The seat can recline a bit, but it was enough for him to nap while we were at the museum. The stroller was easy to travel with and very comfortable for the boys. I would recommend it and also recommend you buy the Parent Organizer because there really is no where to put your stuff for easy access. The only thing I'm not too happy with is how hard it is to take of that snack tray from the front seat. It's a bit hard and you need both hands and usually I only have one hand available. I wish it was easier to snap on and off. Otherwise, I'm very happy we purchased this stroller, I just wish I would have gotten it a while ago!! | 45 stars

Great for Baby and Big Kids
I loved this gadget with my babies and still love it now that they are school age. My daughters track how much time they spend reading and this timer is awesome for that. They just click a button to start and note the time when they are done. I use it in the kitchen as well from time to time. | 45 stars

Buyer Beware, Very Disappointed
We bought this three wheeler for our son who just turned 2 for Christmas. However, it took him until April to just get on and ride it (this due to the jolt you get from stepping on the gas it was kind of scary to him and to the neighbor boy who turned 2 last August). Once they got use to it then it was no problem EXCEPT this vehicle will turn over on your child if they turn it to fast or if they go to fast around a corner. For the same reason they took 3 wheelers off the market they should also take this one off too. I would not recommend this for your child unless they are over 3 1/2 and even then I would not recommend this to be their first vehicle. | 12 stars

Terrific baby gate
This was the only gate I could find that met all my criteria: it is wide enough for the opening and short enough to fit against a low wall, it doesn't make permanent marks in the wall, and it looked very sturdy. When it arrived, I was very happy with the solid feel and the easy installation. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and all four "feet" that fit against the wall are independently adjustable - very important for baseboards. The top ones are round, for maximum contact, but the bottom ones have one flat edge, which fit perfectly along the top of the little molding at the bottom of our baseboards.The gate is really easy for an adult to open, but difficult for a small child. Not only does it require pushing in a stiff button and lifting a little arm, but you also have to lift the entire center gate a half inch. You can do it all with one hand, and it's not obvious to a little one how it works (this kid already tries to push on the foot pedal on another gate).The only downside is that the gate just opens 90 degrees. If it swung farther, the open end would reach the wall. We leave it open most of the time, because it's only for when our littlest grandchild visits, and it would be nicer not to have to dodge the end when coming through. | 45 stars

Not the best, not the worst
I am a big fan of goat's milk products. However, this cream is no better than other products for less cost. I also do not like the way it has to be scooped out of a big jar. This packaging makes it too easy to contaminate when dealing with dirty diapers. I like Aveeno diaper rash ointment much better than Canus. | 23 stars

The Great RED bumper.
I had been looking for a bumper for my son's room for ages before I found this. It is the perfect color red. My only complaints are that the ties are only on the top of the bumper. I'm considering adding some to the bottom since I sew and it wouldn't be hard. Previous comments mention that the fabric isn't very soft. I personally don't have a problem with it. It's not 'scratchy,' it's just cotton and the babes aren't going to be sleeping right on it anyway. I like it for the price, function and color. I'd recommend it to anyone. | 34 stars

Just as good as the really expensive ones...
One of the main reasons that I chose this carrier was because it didn't have a strap around the waist like so many others do. I'm short and the carriers w/ the waist straps don't fit me properly. This one fits perfect and my son loves it. He's 2 months old now and we've been using it since he was a newborn. I don't know how I'd get any shopping done without it!! Well worth the $20!! | 45 stars

Love it and Great for traveling!
I bought this bag for our daughter because my husband and I travel a lot to see his family. It's a carry-on when we fly and fits everything she'll need for a week trip. Now that she's older we pack her clothes in a suitcase with ours but all her foods fit, her toys, the bottle compartment inside is great to hold the bottles I don't want her to know about and I love the fold-out changing pad! It has saved us many times with no place to change her and it wipes off really clean with a wet one! There's a lot of space inside to hold any extra bottles I need to take with us and the zipper pouch holds any clothes that we had to change her out of without stinking up the whole bag. It is a little big for a quick trip anywhere and some strollers don't fit it too easily but it is an excellent purchase! | 34 stars

Cute but . . .
This is a cute rug and it matches the bedding set great but it tends to scoot around when you walk on it. It would get bunched up and I was constantly having to readjust it. So we moved it out of the way. It is still in the room but now toys sit on it when my son is not playing with them. I think the rug was a waste of money. I would not recommend buying this one. | 23 stars

Best Present / Investment after 3 YEARS!
My FIRST REVIEW was in JAN 2006: My friend bought us ours as a shower gift. (Great Friend!) Due to the price tag we thought she had lost it at first. However, this Bugaboo has been the best gift and investment to date. Our daughter went into the bassinet at two days old. I was able to easily wheel her around our home and get so much accomplished. Once she grew out of the bassinet she easily took to the seat since it has three different positions and the seat looks like it is designed to the natural curve of a baby - toddler's spine. Looks very comfortable, wish they had a seat like this for adults! Our daughter just loves it and her Bugaboo is the only thing that can calm her down if she's not feeling well or is fussy for some reason. She's now 19 months and loves to take her daily naps in it. The only problem is we're not going to know what do when she grows out of it since it has such a soothing affect on her! Even my husband said now that he knows what this Bugaboo can do he wouldn't even blink at paying its price now.UPDATE May 06, 2007: With my daughter now turning 3 I'm now adding to my original review... She still uses her Bugaboo every day for her naps (only way I can still get naps out of her) or when she's not feeling well the Bugaboo soothes her. Plus when you realize other parents upgrade their strollers at least once if not twice the cost for the Bugaboo is actually quite good. My daughter is also tall for her age yet at 3 she's still comfortable! Thus far it's actually cost less than $1 a day! So don't let the price detour you. This is such a great investment... I can't say enough how happy and easy the Bugaboo has made our lives! | 45 stars

great for city parents
I love this product! I have a Maxi Cosi Speedi (now made by Quinny) and it works great. We live in the city and do not own a car, so all of our shopping and going about is done by foot. The S hooks are fabulous for shopping bags that don't fit in the under-carriage basket. They are strong and have tight enough curves that they don't fall off when not in use. The small bottle holder is great, too. Before I was always forgetting to throw in a water bottle for myself, but now I just leave it attached and can fill up wherever I am. I haven't used the snack tray, cup holder or larger bottle holders yet, as I have a three month old, but I'm sure I will like them, too. My stroller is a higher end European model (I call it the Land Rover) and I use it every day over coblestoned roads, up and down curbs and on and off city buses and everything has always stayed attached. The frame has the oval shaped bars that another reviewer noted and the brackets fit it perfectly. I have already decided that this will become a frequent shower gift. | 45 stars

A must have for all mama's!
I have used my hotsling from the time my baby was 6 weeks old all throughout his young life, even until today at age 16 months & still going strong! I've carried my baby in a host of different ways to suit him as he has gotten bigger (prone, chest-to-chest, kangaroo, on my back, on my hip) and have always been super comfortable with a very happy (and/or sleeping) baby. As a super-charged baby-wearer, I own a plethora of baby carriers (Ergo, Ellaroo Ring Sling, a woven wrap also made by Ellaroo, the Mei Tai and the Moby) but in my opinion, the Hotsling is definitely the easiest to use and adapt to a growing child and is the quickest to put on and get baby situated in. We travel nearly every month (almost all of it international), so ease and comfort-factor is really the biggest sell to me, personally.As a side note: I'd encourage mom's who profess this sling doesn't work for them and their babies to try a different size sling or a different position for baby-- as many times I see this sling (and many other carriers, for that sake) worn incorrectly. | 45 stars
