"Great!"

I've been testing the carrier for about a month and a half now. My baby is now 19 weeks old, so is getting past the 'newborn' stage and is more sturdy. 


At first the sling was a bit confusing to work out, however after watching the DVD it became clearer, and the more I used it the easier it got.


When I first had the sling I was amazed at how secure she felt expecially when she was so small. I was able to take my other daughter to the park, walk round tesco while pushing the trolley and managing a manic 6 year old and generally go most things with the carrier.  I was also able to breastfeed her in the sling very securely while doing the dishes hoovering etc...not ideal but when you're busy needs must! But the sling allowed this with the ease.


Now she's slightly bigger she likes to look around more, so I have managed it so she is facing outwards and still feels just as snug.  The carrier is called the Close baby carrier and it really does keep your baby snug and close to you.


Wonderful!

"I love this carrier"
I've been testing the cream carrier for almost a week now. When it arrived I took it out of the pouch it resembled a pile of bandages.
It looked very complicated to use at first, I watched the DVD that came with the carrier and read the manual, then watched the DVD again just to be sure.
The carrier looks more complicated than it actually is. I found it very easy to use.
It is also very comfortable and the fabric is very soft, people ask if it hurts your back to carry a baby for a long time in it. I've not had any pain at all. You need to make sure baby is high up and not loose in the carrier.

I've also noticed that people seem to react in a very positive way when they see me wearing Freya, I have been stopped so many times over the last week by people commenting about the carrier. Many older people have said they wished they had something like it when they had had their children.
People seem to smile more too when they see us.

Freya loves being held. I had been finding it hard doing the school runs, I do 3 a day at the moment. We are a large family, we have 5 children aged 12, 9, 4, 3 and Freya who is almost 2 months old. I have 4 of the children with me for 2 of the school runs.
This carrier has made life so much easier, I can now make a coffee when I come home from taking the boys to school. I can play with my 3 year old daughter and help her with using the toilet, all with Freya being in the carrier. I now feel more "available" to the rest of the family
Freya loves being in the carrier, she used to cry all the time when we would be waiting at the school. She is now a lot more happier and so am I. I really enjoy wearing her.
One of the most important things for me with regards to this carrier is that you can breastfeed in it.
I will be using this carrier a lot.

I will write another review when Freya is 4 or 5 months old.
