We Made Me Pao Papoose 3-in-1 Front and Back Baby Carrier (Midnight Black)

So many times I've read reviews on baby products that are written by people who've been given the product to test for free. Well I bought this. With my minimal maternity pay money and I can't rate it highly enough.I've researched these types of carriers and knew I wasn't going to spend nearly £200 on a new ergo. We had a wrap for when sprog was small and I loved it and we have a family history of dodgy hips so the baby bjorn was out too.This carrier is easy to use, looks great. Is comfy to wear for both parents and sproglett (he hasn't told me but he spends long walks happy and awake facing out, and falls asleep facing in)Leg positioning is wonderful both front and in facing. Really wide, no dangling (takes a bit of getting used to front facing as his legs are really far forward and I kept swiping things with him)We've not used it carrying him on our backs yet as he's still not big enough. But we tested it and in my opinion it's a two person job but looks promising.The packaging and instructions are the cutest things I've ever seen. The manual has beautiful quotes about family and life and easy to use picture instructions.The clips are sturdy and look like they will really last. It is easy to unjust and to switch between front and in facing.I really do love it!!

Good to use and my baby likes to stay in it.

efficient international delivery. I like to carry my baby with " pao". Easy to put on n off. And my baby feel comfortable with it, evan fall asleep easily.

I was attracted to this carrier as wanted to be able to world-face and it's a bit cheaper than similar carriers (babybjorn one, Ergobaby 360 etc). Unfortunately I think the lower price is perhaps reflected in the quality of the build. One of the plastic poppers to hold the bib section down was damaged on arrival but generally didn't feel that secure and the clips felt a bit cheap. There's quite a bit a drag on the fabric so it's quite tough pulling the straps to tighten them.The real killer for me though was the fact that the band goes round your waist rather than your hips (and if you world-face the instructions are to put the waistband round your chest/just under your breasts) so u can't tighten the band enough to give good support without it really digging in and therefore you carry more of baby's weight through your shoulders/back.Positives are a good hood, reasonably small for this sort of carrier, the relatively low price and attractive packaging/bag.

I received this carrier free of charge in exchange for a review.It has taken a while for me to be able to review as my baby is quite small and needed to be 12lbs to fit it.She is now 7 months and 14 lbs, so we have been using this carrier for a couple of weeks.I was very happy with my lillebaby, so interested to see if another carrier would come up to standard, and I was pleased as this one was perfectly acceptable.The straps are quite long and adjustable, which is both great as it allows maximum adjustability bit also annoying as it really needs adjusting quite a lot each time you put it on.The seat and fit wasn't quite as comfortable as I had hoped, something about the straps didn't quite lie right on my shoulders but I had similar issues with other carriers that were rectified with help from a sling library advisor, whxih I would recommend to anyone new to baby wearing.The colour combo of the black and blue is boring, but not ugly, suck pads which can be made for you by loads of stay at home mums would jazz it up to your style and the plain design might benefit people who prefer that style.The clips seemed robust and the adjustable straps did so relatively easily.It has very cool instructions built into the carrier which is very useful for the occasional user who wants reminding and also comes with a carrier to keep it clean and easily stored.Overall a good carrier.

Good quality and good price

It is a good product. However I have to give it one star due to the condition discovered as I opened the container. Not folded as tidy as the other one in different colour I purchased at the same time. In other words, it was opened before.
