    i wear it alot when i am out shopping and DD has had no probs falling asleep in it. although now that she is older and doing less naps that's no longer on the cards. i have worn it the longest i think for a 2 hour stretch (took it off for feeds and coffee breaks though!). but we have done whole days without a pram and just used that ITH...

    Kitt3n,

    Where about do you live maybe you could meet up with some people who have them.

    Try googling baby carriers down under.

    sweatpea - seeing as you have tried both - is the ellaroo as wide as it looks? just seems that the kozy would be much nicer between baby's legs?

    Kitten - don't know much about the ellaroo MT, but I can tell you a bit about the Kozy. They are renowned as a supportive MT for older babies and toddlers (although they are still good for younguns) - they are tall, but also have quite a wide body and the shoulder strap angle is quite deep, meaning that they are better suited to those with broader shoulders. If you are of petite build you may find a CatBirdBaby MT a better fit. CatBirdBabys are a narrow angled carrier that is great for younger babies, but some find them less supportive for older babies/toddlers. From what I have read, BabyHawk fits into the niche somewhere between the two.

    I personally didn't find a Kozy to be the most comfortable carrier for me - the body was too wide and consequently gaped (or the shoulder straps felt like they were going to slip). There is a fix to this, which is to twist the shoulder strap at the body junction, which narrows the body.

    Those that love Kozys (and there are MANY that do), say that they are brilliantly supportive workhorse carriers.
