Not Recommended

I really wanted to like my Hotsling, but I have been very disappointed with it.  I found a few problems with it:

• Baby never feels secure even when you follow all the instructions and your baby looks exactly like it does on the "how-to" diagrams.
• Sizing is a problem.  When you first have a baby you need one size because you still have the extra baby weight.  When your baby in older, you need a smaller size because you are smaller.

One Note:  My daughter isn't old enough to use this with her legs through (on my hip).  I could see that it might work well like this, but can't say for sure because I haven't tried it.  The Hotsling is built to carry up to 35 lbs, which does give it a longer use life than the baby bjorn.  

The one benefit I see to the Hotsling is that it travels very nicely.  All you have to do is fold the material and stuff it in your bag.
