Are these safe ? I keep seeing Ads and intrigued...

I have one, you definitely still have to hold the baby while using it because they can slip out. It just removes some of the pressure.

I’d suggest finding a better full carrier or a sling library that could help with fit. I have a Tula FTG and zero back ache despite c section etc. These are still very much hands on and really only for short carries x

No they aren't safety tested and been shown for buckles to come undone in use.

Also a carrier on the side isn't suitable for a new born anyway. You'd use those after 4 months minimum. Better after 6 months.

You'd be better with a ring sling, stretchy wrap or buckle carrier.

Thank you everyone, I appreciate this 😊

These are more for older babies/toddlers, you still have to hold them it just takes some of the weight. Stretchy wraps are definitely the best at that age, then try a sling library because all different slings will suit different bodies x

Didn’t like it at all! My little girl didn’t feel secure in it to me and she’s quite a chunky girl so my shoulder was hurting as soon as I put her in it 🤣🤣

I’d look at a ring sling if you want something similar but hands free. I love my ring sling!

I had one only for when mine was 8 months plus and always held her too, but for a proper little one get a proper carrier! Although be careful, i once went to let go of my girl when she wasnt in the carrier and it scared me so much i never used it again!!
