I bought this scarf because I was afraid of the complexity of nodes with the classic scarf. It still took them back once or twice to properly tighten the start (follow the instructions and spread the fabric on the loop to prevent it from getting stuck). But then I could not do without me for the first weeks of my baby! I used a lot at home after the birth of my daughter who could not stand to be away from arms. The position on the side releases the arm to do something else (I even took my meals with my daughter in it!). It was my miracle solution to soothe the early months when her tears seemed uncontrollable. You could see that she felt kept and warm, it was a pleasure to see her snuggle against me or his dad in the sling. However, I have almost never used outside as the asymmetrical position is not very good for the back so it's going for short periods but I would not of km with ... Now that my baby is older than 3 months, I use a lot less. First because it requires less be worn but also because it begins to weigh heavy and I find that the fabric keeps it more as well as at the beginning (perhaps because it is more restless too ...).
