I just brought a close carrier absolutely awesome the benefits are endless but lets put it this way if I didnt have it my newborn would be stuck in his rocker while I attend to my toddler or I would be stuck on the couch etc. I was really worried about it hurting me as I am a small frame but its so comfy and I have worn it for hours doing housework etc. I havent seen a bad review yet. As soon as he is in it he goes to sleep.
