It was easier to carry my baby with this than with an Ergobaby carrier. It's easy to carry the baby in just 5 seconds, even when we're out. The baby is comfortable and stops crying, and even falls asleep. I also don't get tired at all, even after carrying the baby for a long time. This is the best baby item I've ever bought. The color is brown, which goes well with any outfit. It's been used, but there are no noticeable stains. I highly recommend this baby carrier! Size 1.
