Customer Review: Great for baby, not so good for Dad

What would I do without my Hotsling? My 9 week old baby has loved the closeness of being in the sling from the very beginning. When she fusses, this is the only sure way to get her calm and sleeping. With her cuddled up close to me in the sling, I can get work done around the house, go shopping or take a walk. My baby isn't comfortable in the Baby Bjorn yet, so the sling is an absolute lifesaver.
There are a couple drawbacks of this sling:

1. It is not comfortable to wear for long periods of time. After an hour or so, my back is starting to hurt.

2. It is not adjustable, so my husband can't use it, and it was a little tight in the winter when we were wearing big coats and wrapping the baby in blankets. I recommend ordering a size larger than you think you need - I am 5'2"/120 lbs and the size 3 is just right.

Next time, I might try an adjustable sling so that my husband and I can both use it.

Customer Review: Beware*** Back & Shoulder Pain

I bought this and paid around $40.00. I love the look and idea but this thing kills my back and shoulder. We didn't last one wal-mart trip. I couldn't imagine someone trying to make the day in it. I don't feel the hip carry is very safe and that is the only way my daughter would go for. If you bent over far enough she could slip out and walking up right I had to constantly ajust and my arm would go numb from the preasure on my shoulder because there is no way to have it close to your neck,,ouch
