I bought this carrier as my son outgrew the Chekoh wrap! We did try another brand of carrier and it was so hard to use and he was so uncomfortable! Cried until we took him out... First time using the chekoh clip it's so easy to use and he is so comfortable, he slept for 1.5 hours in it! He felt nice and secure, and the straps are so comfortable. Wearing the carrier for a few hours a day and my back and shoulders don't get sore at all. I love the grey stripe, as it's an awesome neutral and beautiful fabric. The quality is fantastic and I am so happy with the purchase. I will be recommending this to all our friends who are new and expecting parents!
