Snazzy Baby

Compact, lightweight, useful for travel – I bought this to travel with my 8-month old moving and shaking daughter - we were on a five hour flight and I was on my own, and not knowing whether… Read more

we would have a bassinet or if she would even stay in it now she was crawling and standing! So I bought this particular brand, because of the strap that goes around the chair, and that it didn't need any straps to go over the top/back of the chair - I was hoping it would fit around a plane seat. And, I can tell you, it does fit around a normal economy plane seat. Luckily I had a spare seat next to me, so it was perfect - I could sit her up to feed her, and when she was really cranky I could put the little TV on for her to watch!

If we hadn't had the spare seat, it still would have been good as it strapped to me, as a baby carrier, and she could sit on my lap while I fed her.

It does slip a little bit, sometimes, and on some seats. The grippy bottom isn't the best. However, my daughter is also an extremely squirmy worm, so this probably didn't help. I think with less active babies, it would be fine.

It is also not the best on seats with a seat back that tapers down towards the seat, as the strap that goes around the seat back can't hold well and baby will slip a little. It would be good to have some grippy-silicon things that you could attach to the straps to help with this.

It was also great because people I visited didn't have high chairs, so this made it simple and didn't have to worry about it. Easy, small enough and lightweight enough to just have in the nappy bag all the time. Lightweight, compact, easy to use, fits around a plane seat non-slip bottom sometimes slips, doesn't work well on seat backs that taper down to the seat

I Didn't like it as a carrier – I was very disappointed with this carrier. I bought it as my baby boy loves facing outwards. In the beginning I thought it might have been my… Read more

inexperience with this carrier that made it so uncomfortable.

But I have given up using it now, my boy's top part of his body isn't very secure in it and he keeps tipping forward.

Also to many clips and straps (one around my waist and one around my shoulder, one around each baby's leg and one around baby's waist) and you have to sit down to put your baby in it. The 3 way use (carrier/ high chair / shopping trolley seat) could be handy as a back up carrier in the car It's hard to put it on, the easiest way is to sit down to strap your baby in. I found it very unstable, my baby is very active and he would tip forward all the time. It also hurt my shoulder very quickly.
