Our son screams much less in this baby carrier. He likes it then even better, there asleep in there instead on my arm - is probably just cozy. I think without the part I was so desperate at some evenings. To have am therefore very glad they bought even before birth, so I could use them the same. The carrier is comfortable to wear on the shoulders and the child's weight is a not very hard before. The price is pretty powerful - but because it has helped me so much, I would have probably paid twice (so stupid it may sound ...).
