Excellent for growing baby!

I struggled with the decision of which kind of carrier to buy, if any. I found a sling is best for infants as it cuddles them most, but its really only useful for the first three-four months. This carrier is ideal for not only the first few months, but also the next few and a few more after that! My daughter loved sleeping in this with her head facing my chest between 2 and 3 months of age.

As she grew older and more inquisitive, I turned her to face outwards and she LOVED her new view of the world. I also found that having her strapped to my chest discouraged some of that "oh, I must touch the baby" that strangers have a tendency to do whenever they get near an infant!

My daughter is 7 months now, and we still use the carrier alot. As she gains weight, its nice to have the option of switching the carrier to a backpack which puts a lot less strain on my back. As a back carrier, this should still be very useful through the toddler years as well!

I highly recommend this brand both for its diversity of use and for its convenient design. A child easily and safely straps in and out of this carrier.
