I bought this for my 8-month-old son when we went to France and would highly recommend for anyone traveling with a little one. He would get tired of the stroller and would want to be held, there were also times where I wanted him up close with me and not in the stroller. He was very happy and comfortable in this.
It’s also very comfortable with the wide straps and the strap that goes across the lumbar. My husband who is 6'2” (188cm) 250 pounds and I who am 5'3" (161cm) 140 pounds, can both wear this - so it also has a wide range as far as who can use. He can go in front or back facing with no adjustments needed and I like the adjustability of the seat width.
Works great on hikes, works great in the kitchen. Definitely recommending this to my expecting friends.
We’ve tried 4 baby carriers and found Bebehive works the best
Lillebaby all seasons 6 position carrier: seat too wide for baby to sit comfortably (practically doing the splits) and it was very expensive.
Baby K’tan: worked okay when our baby was a newborn but there’s zero adjustability so my husband couldn’t use it at all, it was outgrown too quickly.
Infantino sash wrap and tie: by far the easiest for both parents to put on, inexpensive, easily adjustable, but can’t carry baby facing out on the front, and most of the weight is placed on lower back. I never wore this for longer than 30min but definitely a winner for babies who aren’t ready to face out.
