BABY & Me Beren Hip Seat Carrier Color: Navy I wanted to try other baby carriers, so I purchased this as a second carrier when my child was 6 months old. Since I'm not very flexible, I wasn't used to the style of fastening it behind my back, and it took me a while to put it on. In the end, I kept using my first carrier, which has a front buckle. I don't think I'll be using this one in the future, so I'm putting it up for sale. Usage: ☆ As a baby carrier: 2 times (About 30 minutes total at a nearby supermarket) ☆ Hip seat only: 2 times (Both times just trying it out at home, less than 30 minutes each) From the short time I used it, I felt that the weight was distributed, as the official website says. The hip seat securely supports the child's bottom, so it felt very stable. I think this is a highly recommended baby carrier for those who don't mind a front buckle. I've also seen reviews that many staff members at Akachan Honpo recommend this carrier. Also, it seems that it can be used to support breastfeeding when the baby is young. *I didn't use it for this purpose, so I don't know how it feels. Additional notes: ☆ The drool cover is unused and hasn't been taken out of the bag. ☆ There is a slight fold in the instruction manual. ☆ All accessories are included, including the box. *The hood and safety belt that were originally attached to the product have not been removed.
