    'EASY TO USE, WEAR AND CONVENIENT!'
    Overall:
    GREAT IF YOU WANT TO NIP TO THE SHOPS OR GO FOR A STROLL, MUCH EASIER THAN LUGGING A BUGGY ABOUT, BUT IF YOU WANT TO TO A SPOT OF CLOTHES SHOPPING YOU MIGHT NEED AN EXTRA PAIR OF HANDS, ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY TRY CLOTHES ON!! BUT IT'S OVERALL PRETTY GOOD!

    'GOOD, BUT COULD DO SO MUCH BETTER'
    Strengths:
    very popular
    well designed child's sitting area
    Weaknesses:
    will not fit an adult of 6ft
    hard to adjust the adult harness
    no back support, so uncomfortable to use with any kid over 4 months old
    Overall:
    Good, but the Active version is so much better

    Problem is the Active is £70 & not half as good as the Bushbaby Cocoon (so what does this make this one?)

    'COMFORTABLE BUT FIDDLY'
    Strengths:
    I found this carrier comfortable to wear and my baby was well supported.
    Weaknesses:
    A nightmare to put on and seemed to need two people to master it. Naot good for realy fat babies as the leg fasteners won't fasten.
    Overall:
    Very comfortable once it is on but not easy to get on single handedly. Great for a small baby but as they get bigger not so good.

    'A SECURE, COMFORTABLE BABY CARRIER'
    Strengths:
    A fantastic baby carrier easy to put on. I found if you put the harness part on first then attach the body of the carrier to the harness it is very comfortable and secure.
    Weaknesses:
    There is nothing negative i can say about this baby carrier.
    Overall:
    I feel very comfortable wearing this carrier and also my baby looks very cosy. I would recommend this carrier for it`s comfort and support.

    'COMFORTABLE AND VERY SUPPORTIVE FOR BOTH PARENT AND BABY'
    Strengths:
    This carrier feels very secure and supportive, unlike others on the market which slip and don't offer the same level of security. The straps are adjustable and padded, and the back harness provide that all-important comfort while carrying an ever-growing infant for several hours at a time. Easy to clean.
    Weaknesses:
    I found that the front straps were sometimes fiddly to open/close when on my own, with a wriggly baby who needed immediate attention for feeds etc. I also found that my baby grew out of the carrier sooner than I had hoped and before she reached the weight maximum. However she is very tall for her age.
    Overall:
    Durable and reliable, I will be using this again in a couple of months with my next arrival.

    'QUALITY, COMFORTABLE CARRIER'
    Strengths:
    I found this baby carrier to be very well made, and useful owing to the choice of inward and outward facing - sometimes my baby wanted to see me, sometimes he wanted to see the world around him. It was comfortable both for me and for him while still being reassuringly secure.
    Weaknesses:
    I honestly can't think of any - mastering it was hard at first, but within a week I had got it.
    Overall:
    At the current price, you'd be silly not to! Good design, comfortable, perfect for the job.

    'GOOD, COMFORTABLE CARRIER ONCE YOU'
    Strengths:
    Comfortable to wear, both inward and outward facing, and appears comfortable for the baby. Seating pouch is quite soft and padded.
    Weaknesses:
    Can be difficult to put on - which may be down to user inability (...), though I have consistently struggled to get into the harness in the first instance.
    Overall:
    Very comfortable and effective once it's on, and I would recommend it for that. Just be careful to learn how to put it on fast (often that's the biggest an donly real problem, you need it on quickly to calm the baby, and you get tied in knots).
