Customer Review: Great Sling!
I wish I had this before my daughter was born. I used a snugli front carrier until she was about six months old, then she got too heavy for it and the straps hurt me too much to use it anymore. This is so much more comfortable, once you get the hang of it, which really doesn't take long. Plus, there's no complicated straps to adjust, and it's easy to tighten/loosen it with the baby inside. I was ready to send it back after the first time I wore it, but I sent them an email and they gave me some pointers on how to adjust it comfortably, and now we use it everyday. Now, at ten months, I make the loop very small and put it under her arms so she can "walk" all by herself (much easier on your back since you don't have to bend over. The fabric is really beautiful and the quality is great(I've washed it twice).I get compliments whenever I wear it. Like I said, I wish I had this sling from the beginning beacause there are so many different ways to carry the baby in it, it really does grow with your child. I would really reccomend this to anyone expecting, it doesn't take much practice to wear it comfortably, but it does take some patience. Read the instructions on their website before you give up! It's worth it! P.S. I'm not particulary thin or short, but I still had to weave the padded part of the straps through the loop to make it snug enough, so this is plenty big for a larger-built person.

Customer Review: Fabulous! Especially great for c section moms.
I love my peanut shell. I tried a lot of slings before this one including the hotsling and moby wrap but none worked for me. I had an emergency c section and the other slings hurt my scar but not the peanut shell! It's extremely easy to use and comfortable. It's also easy to move around and adjust so it won't touch your scar while it's healing. My son is 4.5 months now and still loving it. This was by far the best thing I bought for my baby.

Customer Review: A must for new moms!
I LOVE my hotsling!!! I had a Baby Bjorn and couldn't use it for long because my back started to hurt too much. When I switch to the hotslings, my back didn't hurt as much and I liked how my daughter was more secure to my body. I wish I had discovered about these carriers earlier so that I could have used it when my daughter was just a newborn. Most of the other carriers can't be used until the baby is a little older. I am pregnant again and can't wait to use it with my second kid!
Customer Review: Fashionable baby carrier
This is a comfortable, convenient and best of all fashionable baby carrier. This lets me keep my baby close while I do simple household tasks or shop. I have several styles of baby carriers but this is the one I wear when I want to "dress up" and look half-decent.

Customer Review: Great baby carrier, and a great makeshift "leash" as well!
Such a great carrier, and I love the photo on this listing showing it being used as a makeshift toddler "leash". What a great idea. So much more practical than having to bring a separate backpack leash, and much safer than letting you toddler run amuck (and possibly into danger)!
Customer Review: Comfy & Versatile
Great sling! Very helpful when my son still needs to be held and my arms are about to fall off. Shoulder padding is comfortable for mom. I have used it with my 3 month old facing me & facing out. There are also several other ways it can be used which are shown in the pamphlet that comes with it. I am short and I agonized over which sling to buy. This one is great since it is adjustable it fits me well no matter how I use it. The only thing that could be improved is the ease of adjusting the strap while it's on. The padding around the pouch is great for the baby, but makes it hard to pull through the two rings to adjust. Just takes some getting used to and planning. I'm getting better already in just a couple of uses.

Cheap Balboa Baby Adjustable Sling by Dr. Sears
Balboa Baby Adjustable Sling by Dr. Sears - Geisha Trim
Customer Review: a GOD-send!!!
I am so glad I decided on this sling. I tried 2 others: the INfantino Sling rider (Which only satisfied my newborn for a week) and the HotSling, too stiff and no adjustable straps. I ordered this solely based on the picture and that it's endorsed by Dr. Sears. I got lucky - this sling has been a GOD SEND! IT's my baby's favorite way to sleep. She was very colic-y from the beginning and this was the only way to calm her down and get her to sleep. We would swaddle her and get her in. We'd even lay her down after falling asleep safely in the sling still into her crib. It's been perfect! I'm still using it with her at 7 mos. True, if you have back problems, it's prob not going to be a positive experience for you. Also, baby may not take to the sling right at first, but keep trying it and she'll eventually cozy into it. Take this sling shopping with you, to church, to friends, restaurants - it's perfect for nestling baby so she feels safe. And you can try other positions and styles of wearing it as your baby grows. I rec. getting Dr. Sear's Baby Book as a companion to show different baby-wearing methods that work with this sling.
Customer Review: Must Have!!
I LOVE this product!! I was hesitant about using it at first...I was afraid that the baby would not be secure, but it has become a life saver. It's so nice to be able to have my baby so close and still have both hands free (i'm actually typing this with my son in the sling). As soon as I put him in, he immediately falls asleep...he's so comfy and cozy. PERFECT for a colicy baby. And the straps are so wide and padded that it's comfortable for me too.
My only complaint ( the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5) is that I'm only 5'2" and the sling hangs a bit low on me, more at waist level than chest level. The only other problem I had was that my son was only 5lbs8oz when born, so he kind of got lost in the bottom of the sling, I needed to place folded blankets in the bottom before I put him in. But now he's about 7 lbs and it is perfect.
This would be a perfect shower gift!

We use the Infantino Sling Rider Baby Carrier to carry our new puppy around with. It works great and the puppy likes being put in it.
Customer Review: Too good to be true!
I purchased this from the store just before closing time because I was desperate to have something right away to give me some amount of "freedom" with my then 1 week old daughter. I was happy to see that all I had to do was open the box, put the sling on, and put baby in...NOT! My baby fit all the way in, like putting her in the bottom of a plastic shopping bag or a duffle bag. Not only that, the sling has very little structure to it...it feels incredibly flimsy, especially once baby is inside. My daughter cried and I was just as disturbed. What to do? Fold it back up, return it to the box, and return the box to the store!

Customer Review: My favorite carrier so far
Ok, we now have 4 ways to tote our toddler on our bodies & this is my current favorite. I had wanted a sling from the start, but couldn't find one I liked. Other rings slings have this massive "tail" that drove me nuts. The Peanut Shell brand is beautiful, but expensive. Hotslings were too size specific (my husband I would have each needed our own). I went with the Moby & then the Bjorn Active while our son was tiny.
When I started carrying him on my hip, I revisited the sling idea & found this one at a local store. It is perfect! Adjustable, neat & comfy. The rails are padded so they don't cut into his legs. The "tail" is just a strip of fabric, not a whole, giant bed sheet. It has a sort of toggle on the end that tucks neatly into a strip of fabric to keep the tail from hanging down. There are 2 little pockets on the outside for keys or change (not too useful, but once in a while they come in handy). I love the fabric & the other 2 or 3 patterns are also very nice and maybe more gender neutral (for dads who care). We've used it constantly for 5 months & it has held up very well. I keep it in the car.
One caveat about slings in general: if you have a bad back or poor posture, think twice before carrying your baby in a sling. It does not distribute weight well. I use this one to free up my hands when I would ordinarily be carrying him on my hip anyway. If I wear him in it for long periods of time, I definitely feel "outta-whack." And my son is 19 pounds at 1 year (shrimpy).
That said, if I had found this sling first, I might not have bought another carrier.
