Yes, extremely easy. I also would put it on before I left the house in the winter and put my coat on over it. When we got to where we were going, I would just pop Harper out of her car seat and into the k'tan. The knot in the middle of my back was a little annoying in the car, but not bad for short trips around town. Also, I had a one size too big fleece peacoat from lands end that was perfect for fitting around both of us.
