I can't say enough good things about the Hipsurfer. You get none of the neck and back strain associated with every other design, and it's been a great way to rest my busted mum wrist while still being able to snuggle my baby. He's now 4.5months old and loves the surfer, as he gets to look around and not feel restricted or hot - really helpful because babywearing in traditional carriers was starting to trigger eczema flares. I love it because it's so quick to take on and off, great for popping into shops or sitting at a cafe, and is also really stabilising for my core after all the strain of pregnancy, childbirth and post partum. It's beautiful quality too, I got the vegan leather and it looks sharp :). An excellent buy.
