Uncomfortable and unsupportive – I was given this carrier when I had my first baby. I didn't like it at all. It was unsupportive, difficult to put on, and I think it was uncomfortable for her as she cried every time I put her in it. Would not recommend it ever! There are many more supportive carriers around.

OK – This is a good option if you are after something cheap. My husband has stronger shoulders then me and did not experience the same discomfort. I recommend trying it on before purchasing as it is a great product if it suits your body style. This is a cheaper carrier option to others on the market. It was light weight and the dark colours were good… Read more

for stains. It was great that bub could face inwards or outwards depending on their preference and age.It was easier to put it on first and then slip bub into the carrier. I found this carrier uncomfortable. I was ok to wear it for short periods of time, but after 30 mins my shoulders ached. I did try adjusting the straps but I feel that I personally need a more supportive back system which this carrier did not provide.

very uncomfortable – The straps kept slipping up my back, and the sling was very uncomfortable overall. It also took a long time to put on. After many tries I gave up and bought a different sling, which I love. uncomfortable, took a long time to put on

Excellent – I brought mine for only $20 so it is a great investment. I am a size 18 with large breasts and baby carriers were always a problem with my eldest 2, this one however is great. I fits nice and tight without straps digging in, and without my breasts suffocating my newborn. Easy to manouver baby into, even when asleep. padded straps, funky patten,… Read more

because baby is snuggled in close, i dont feel i have to constantly have a hand underneath. Baby loves being so close and always goes off to sleep when carried in it. great it can be used as a forward facing carrier for bigger babys as well i love everything

Excellent – I've had mine for over 6 years and its lasted many washes and wears. Perfect for carrying around a light-ish baby. My son was a bit on the heavy side but my petite daughter was great to carry around in the carrier. Only complaint is that it only come with a tiny bib thing for chuck ups and I often got chucked up on while using it with bub… Read more

facing me. I ended up just carrying a towel around everywhere. We didn't pay much for it either. It's lasted ages, easy to use and wash, cheap. needs a bigger bib things for chuck ups

Good – A good investment and not one that will break the bank, we have a toddler aswell so it was invaluable in the earlier months when getting the todler attachment was just too much hassle, it was just easier to pop our toddler in the pram and bub in the carrier. Quite simple once you get the hang of it,the safari design is a nice change from the… Read more

normal carriers and I founf that it offered enough back support and adjusted easy so bub wasnt lagging in front and i didnt feel like i was being dragged forward and down. the fold down bit at the front for when baby is forward facing kept popping back up in bubs face.

Good – I bought this for my husband as he requested a carrier that didnt have teddy bears all over it or was blue... so here it was! Great modern colour with the leopard print just for fun on the inside. Got easier to use as time went on but i guess we just go the hang of it. My husband loved it and would always carry our son in it till he was aabout 6… Read more

months old. He called it his "Daddy Pack" Great colours. Nice and simple fabric looks clean even when a bit dirty and is great to throw in the car or in the bottom of your pram. A little fiddly.

Good – I bought the Tomy Safari because it was on special at Big W this particular day, and when reduced from $50 to $30 I couldn't go past it. It became an invaluable part of the baby's gear, and I have now used it for both of my babys. In fact, it was handy to throw in the bottom of the stroller, my toddler could walk while the baby rode, when the… Read more

toddler got tired, I could strap in the baby into the carrier, while the toddler rested in the stroller. Comfortable to wear, relatively inexpensive, well padded for baby & wearer. I didn't think there was anything to really dislike about it... if I had to list one con, it would be that the top slides (above baby's arms) were a bit fiddly to do up.

OK – i bought this for my first child. it was very useful for doing housework such as vacuming and mopping when my son was unsettled. but it is virtually impossible to do things such as washing dishes or eating as you just cannot see what you are doing. i found i could only ware it for about 30 minutes at a time as it was just to uncomfortable on my… Read more

back after that. You can adjust it to suit your babys size and to fit you. baby can be placed in the carrier either facing in with head support or facing out for older babys. adjustable straps allow you to position the baby in the postition that is most comfortable and practical for you both. very handy if you have an unsettled baby and need you hands free. can be very uncomfortable after long periods of waring and can also be akward to do certain things whilst it is on.
