The Verdict

The bottom line

This is the carrier if you're seeking comfort and longevity. It's soft, adjustable, and works for years. But, it's bulky and has a wide waistband that might bother some.

Our research

The deep dive

Everyone agrees that this carrier has what it takes to be your daily go-to: comfort and padding, soft fabric, and long-term versatility. Babies sleep well in it, it saves parents' backs, it doesn't need an insert to fit your newborn, and it's more budget friendly vs more premium options. Downsides are that it's bulky, the wide waistband may not work for some, and it's harder to adjust on-the-go.
