I love this sling. The baby continue to loves it as well while he grows, and it's convenient, one piece, and without all the straps of a traditional carrier. My only warning is that this will shrink. If it's a bit big, go ahead and dry it, but if it fits just right, do NOT dry it. My dad accidentally dried mine and I had to replace it. I find I'm even happier with the stretch-sateen material of the new one I ordered. I recommend that material over this.

I love this product. It takes a little practice and getting use to, and you have to read the instructions. It shows you how to fold the sling properly for different seating positions for the baby. Once you get the hang of it, it's awesome!I find this product much easier to use when running errands such as grocery shopping. If your baby doesn't like the cradle position, hold on to the product in case he likes the other positions when they get older. My son now likes facing forward in the sling. I would highly recommend this product.

I have this sling in the brown dot pattern. It takes a little getting used to carrying a baby in a sling, but now, my son and I love our hotsling! (He's snoozing in it right now!)

At first, I wasn't sure if I was wearing it correctly and felt a little awkward. BUT, the sling comes with a dvd showing wearing instructions, and the hotsling website gives instructions as well. I found these to be very helpful and still refer to both for tips on new carrying positions. I now carry the sling with me everywhere! So much easier than lugging a carseat, and he's conent for much longer!

My daughter didn't seem to like to be in this carrier, she screamed every time I tried. But then again, she hates to be swaddled also, when most babies apparently love it. Every baby is different I guess... but for me I had to return it.

I am new to the whole baby wearing thing, and so I purchased a hotsling based on reviews from here, and also based on their cute and fashionable look. I regret not doing my homework. My 6 week old who is a little over 10 pounds now seems too squished. His legs are too folded, and the fabric doesn't give enough. He starts trying to move his legs, can't get a comfortable position, and start to fuss and cry. When I took him out of it, he had red marks on his legs where the fabric was too tight. Initially, I started using it when he was a week old, and it worked o.k. But now, after only 6 weeks he has outgrown it. I understand that the whole point is for baby to be tightly wrapped, but not having any give in the fabric is not going to settle a fussy baby. I'm returning this if I can, and just purchased a wrap type sling instead that goes over both shoulders and ties around the back. Even though its not as cute, hey its going to be a lot more comfortable for me and my little guy. I'd recommend trying this on with baby if you can before purchasing.

This is a life-saver! I have been using it with my son since birth and it is great when he wants to be held, but I need to do other things. It is easy to use and will be something that we will use for quite a while. The DVD that is included is very helpful in explaining the uses of the carrier.

If you are plus size, not a good fit. Squeeze baby and mommy. Recommend a front carrier instead.

I bought this and all the flowers were on the side and back. The print was scratchy and not soft and felt cheap.

These Hotslings are awesome. I tried others before I found them and what a difference! As soon as I put my baby in it I noticed how comfortable it is: no back or shoulder pain like others. My baby loves it too. She spent hours in it around Disneyland and it was a Godsend on a 6 hour flight as she didn't have her own seat. I popped her in there and she slept the whole way. They wash really well and look gorgeous on. I am now looking for another one.

I LOVED this carrier with my newborn. It is a great hands free tool. We went to baseball and football gameswith no problem. My baby was so comfortable that she always went right to sleep!
