Baby Trekker First Journey Baby Sling/Wrap

Pros: Wear for hours, fits toddlers, folds up, great pocket & handle, easily worn by men.

Cons: Can be difficult to put on the back position. Doesn't come in black.

The Bottom Line: I would buy this for every mom I know if I could afford to!

Review: First of all, I would recommend visiting http://www.babytrekker.com if you want to see this carrier since there isn't yet a picture of it here. You can also purchase the carrier through the site. BabyTrekker was my fourth carrier/sling purchase. My ...

Pros: Best 5 position carrier - well designed, no back strain, comfortable for baby!

Cons: Not as 'good looking' as some other carriers.

The Bottom Line: Designed by hikers for comfort. Even weight distribution, well padded baby pouch, pocket for stowing things, washable, 5 positions, newborn-40lbs.

Review: This is a Review on the original BABY TREKKER Carrier (not the First Journeys Baby Trekker). Having 5 children, I have gone through my various baby carriers but had yet to find one which was truly comfortable. My girlfriend, who is an avid hiker ...

Pros: Works very well as a front carrier, easy on my back

Cons: A bit difficult to use as a back carrier, nursing position not quite right

The Bottom Line: Excellent baby carrier--very comfortable for bigger babies, easy to use as front carrier. Perhaps the best baby gear purchase I have made!

Review: I bought this baby carrier when my son outgrew his Baby Bjorn (or rather, I did! My back couldn't take it when he hit about 17-18 pounds). I have had it now for about 5 months, and it has been AMAZING!! My son now weighs almost 23 pounds, and it is ...

Pros: Baby can face in/out front or back. Comfort. Ease of use.

Cons: Not advertised well enough, it is WAY better than better-advertised carriers.

Review: This is the absolute best baby carrier I have. I have the "Deluxe Five Position Carrier" and it is the only carrier that I can carry my daughter on my back facing outwards, which is the most comfortable, least-claustrophobic way for both of us and keeps ...

Pros: Super comfortable, versatile

Cons: Not very stylish, a little daunting to use at first.

Review: I bought my Baby Trekker second hand, and at first I didn't use it because it looked like some sort of octopus like contraption, so I bought a Baby Bjorn. I ended up with a sore back from the Bjorn, so I thought I would give the Trekker a try. My son was ...

Pros: It's comfortable for bad backs, easy to clean, holds 40 lbs, adjusts for either parent.

Cons: It is so simple you might wonder what all the fuss is about.

Review: I am a first time mom, but went through a few borrowed carriers. I finally found this one which is awesome. Not only is it very comfortable for the back pain ridden post- pregnancy period, but it's easy to clean because it is completely cloth. My little ...

Pros: Well padded, multiple carrying positions.

Cons: Wrong picture

Review: Please be aware that the picture shown is for the original Baby Trekker carrier. To see a picture of the First Journey Baby Carrier, go to http://www.first-journey.com/p hotosandquotes/pic3.jpg I HAVE contacted Epinions about this and it has not been ...

Pros: Can do front or back carry, comfortable, back support, dual side entry, babies love it!

Cons: Long straps, bulky, hard to get on back.

The Bottom Line: A versatile upright carrier great for older and bigger babies. Takes time to learn, but worth it!

Review: I got this carrier over 10 months ago, and am so happy to see it has been added and have a chance to review it, as I found it a great product and got a tonne of use out of it!!! Why I needed a new carrier, or how my beloved Bjorn failed me I ...

Pros: Comfortable

Cons: Bulky, difficult to assemble in back-wearing position

Review: I bought this carrier to replace the Baby Bjorn that I had (thankfully) borrowed. I found that the absence of a waist strap on the Bjorn made it very uncomfortable to wear for longer than 10 or 15 minutes (lower back pain). The Baby Trekker is very ...

Pros: Material is soft on shoulder straps.

Cons: Bulky to store, Hard to put on, Thick material makes mother hot.

The Bottom Line: This product is hard to use without a lot of practice and/or another adult to help. I would not recommend this for a child under 15lbs.

Review: I received The Baby Trekker as a shower gift and was very excited to have the opportunity to be hands free while still having the baby close. When my husband and I took it out of the box, immediately I noticed that the pack was cumbersome, the straps ...
