Cons: I wish I had found this sooner!

When my son reached 20 pounds at 4 months I knew that I was in for it. He had outgrown his soft frontpack carrier and my back was killing me.

I started doing some research and found the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder.

The...

Pros: Easy to use, no height or weight limits, multiple positions
Cons: Uncomfortable to use shoulder bag and sling at the same time

My older daughter was never crazy about being carried. She likes her personal space and has always liked sitting in the stroller or a shopping cart. However my nearly 1 year old is a "hold me" baby. She will sit in a contraption for as long as her older ...

Pros: keeps baby close, easy to use
Cons: ~~~

I bought the Over the Shoulder Baby Holder after reading a few opinions on it here. I also always wanted one but never went out and got one. Now I wish I got one sooner, it’s so wonderful! I love that I can keep Jordan close to me with this...

Pros: lightweight, cool, put it on and off in 30 seconds or less!
Cons: Wish I had it sooner!!

First, about me. I'm 5 feet tall and weigh about 110 pounds. My son is 12 pounds and 21 inches (just over 2 months old) at the time of this review.

Pros: Great for AP and comfort
Cons: Bulky padding

After the birth of my daughter, and my double stroller fiasco, I purchased this sling. Having never used one before, I was told this was the perfect sling for a beginner. I did a search and found many websites that carried this particular sling. I ...

Pros: Lots of colorful designs to choose from. Soft, padded sides.
Cons: Padding on shoulder is too thick and too wide for small person.

Pros: Any sling is better than no sling! This one is the easiest to put on.
Cons: BACKACHE! Bulky, hot, smaller than expected, limited adjustment.

I had originally purchased a Maya Baby Sling and loved it. I sooo wish I had had a sling for my first baby -- you can nurse everywhere and no one will know it (even walking around), you have one or both hands free, the baby sleeps the whole time they are...

Pros: holds baby while you work
Cons: hard to use with a wiggly baby

My first child wanted to be held all the time.
I think I only put her down a handful of times the first 6 months (and not much the next six either!).
When I got pregnant the last time I thought about getting some kind of carrier for the new...

Pros: THE best sling carrier out there!! Hands down!
Cons: Non, if you get the video!

I got a OTSBH for a shower gift... I didn't know if I would be an "attachment" parent, or not... I wasn't sure HOW I would feel about parenting style... I just knew I was leaning towards a "hands on" approach! I had a natural birth (on purpose :) ) and...

Pros: Helps free your hands and arms while carrying your baby
Cons: You must use precaution and common sense.

I was introduced to the Over The Shoulder Baby Holder with my second child. My wonderful sister bought me one. It is a very nice item for nursing moms. You can nurse your baby while he or she is inside the baby holder, and it gives great covering for...

Pros: lets you keep baby close and comfortable and your hands free
Cons: hmmm, can't think of any.

When I had my son, I had never seriously considered a sling. They are not readily available here and the one time I had an opportunity to buy one when my daughter was a baby, it was in a second hand baby store. It had no instructions for use and I...

Pros: Hands free, easy to adjust
Cons: Padding can be awkward, fabric isn't high quality.

If this sling was a car, it would be a station wagon. Sure, you'll upgrade to a nicer sling, but hey ...

Pros: Everything!
Cons: Learning curve is steep.

Let's start with the bad news. A sling can be difficult to learn to use. I bought the instructional ...

Pros: The Over the Shoulder Baby Holder...have questions? I have answers!
Cons: Not a great choice in fabric/pattern to choose from.

When I was first introduced to the Over The Shoulder Baby Holder by my sister, I was quite skeptical!
My four major concerns were:
1. How in the world is this safe?
2. What is the benefit here?
3. Isn't it too...

Pros: your baby will LOVE it, great for overly large infants
Cons: hard to figure out, at first, how to use

After the birth of my second child, my dad asked me what I wanted as a gift. Since we had almost 99% of all necessary baby products from my last child, it was an important question. One thing I had always wanted and never got around to buying, was a...
