I just got it in yesterday and it is quite comfy! Very well made, the fabric is super soft and not bulky at all.
It took me a little bit to figure it out but once I got it right, Kael was riding so easy on my hip. The shoulder strap is nice and wide, making the weight distribution nice and even across my back. No neck or shoulder pain at all!
The tricky part is threading the strap through the rings. You have to make sure the strap is flat and spread across your back then string that through (not an easy feat at first because it's wide). And, you're threading it upside down. That threw me for a loop. The rings make a nice clinky sound so of course Kael was all over them, making it difficult to thread and tighten. Luckily Kael is used to slinging so he wasn't too too squirmy. Even when he was turned around being nosy, I simply tightened the strap and he was nice and secure.
I'll post a picture tonight.
Final vote: 2 thumbs up. Definitely a great carrier for those who like to hip carry your bigger babies. More secure than a pouch but less effort than a Mei Tei/Kozy to put on.
