This is another one of those products that I am completely in love with (and no I haven’t been paid to say that!). I purchased my Snugbaby after being lucky enough to meet Claire at the NEC baby show where she let me try one of the carriers and I found it so comfy I just had to buy one. We already have another structured baby carrier but we never really got on that well with it, it was fiddly to put on, made my back ache after 15 minutes of using it and I felt like I was constantly having to support Zara with my arms as the weight was just too heavy on back. I had none of these problems with the Snugbaby and both myself and my husband love this product.

I have to admit that when you first receive your Snugbaby and the various carry instructions it does seem a bit daunting but with a little bit of practice it soon becomes very easy to use. My main tip is to make sure you fasten the straps tight enough – and it helps if you hold the baby close to you when tying so that their weight doesn’t pull on the straps until they are secure. This ensures that the sling stays in a comfortable position and feels more secure.

For this review I decided to show you our trip out today, I think it’s pretty obvious from all our faces how much we all love our Snugbaby!

Today we  went out for a trip to Durham Botanical Gardens and had a lovely day out exploring the gardens and greenhouses with Zara. Initially daddy was hogging the Snugbaby as he usually does and took Zara to see the greenhouses with her in a front carry.

She loves being carried like this as she gets to see everything up close and personal and Daddy loves showing her all the jungle plants and the rain from the sprinkler system.

She even got to get up close and personal with some bird eating tarantulas! Wow I couldn’t see that from my pushchair!

When Daddy eventually let Mummy have a turn at carrying Zara for a while we opted for the back carry position, this is probably the trickiest carry to master as it involves throwing baby over your shoulder but once you get the hang of it, it’s actually quite easy and worth persevering with as it’s my favourite carry position and Zara loves it too!

With Zara now seeing the world from my viewpoint we set off for a long walk around the gardens, we must have spent about an hour wandering around and my back felt absolutely fine and Zara was very happy in her position although I had to make sure she didn’t grap hold of too many plants on the way round.

At the end of a lovely walk we were both still smiling.
