I received this carrier as a baby shower gift and was excited to use it with my newborn. Great padding, however it is a little difficult to put on and secure by yourself if you are not “slim”. It says it accommodates waists up to 46in but I find that hard to believe. I had a hard time and I’m a size 12 (definitely not close to a 46in waist) & my husband had to help adjust the straps across my shoulder blades. Im a mom of 3 and will be looking for something that’s a little quicker and easier to secure by myself !
