Excellent little shoe The Geox Fang is one of the sturdiest little shoes my son owns. He outgrew it before it even looked remotely worn. The only reason that I am giving the shoe is four star instead of a five star is that somewhere along the line, my son stepped in a water puddle with the shoes on and no matter what I did, I could not get the "wet smell" out of the inner sole. He could wear them with out the smell and without the inner sole. They didn't sit long with a wet inner sole either. It took less than a couple of hours for the "wet smell" to set in. Keep you son out of mud puddles with these shoes.
Not bad I really wished it had 4 wheels than 2. It is a lil awkward to wheel around if you have another bag you are wheeling with the other hand. Also, the strap it comes with doesn't work so well. When you put it over your shoulder the bottom of the bag hits you legs and doesn't feel so good walking around an airport with something hitting your leg every step.
THIS IS AWFUL Too thick, to short, and uncomfortable. I had a different body pillow before that I loved, but didn't want to spend $100 on a new one, so I got the cheapy based on these recommendations, I used it once and I HATE IT.
1. OVER filled so you are propped up in weird places (your head is high, and legs are high, while your center is drooping down).
2. Cover does not go back on once it is washed it is HORRIBLE. It is cut so there are larger and smaller parts on the cover, my husband and I both could not get this thing back on.
3. the curve at the neck base is sharp so you either have to have your arm over the top so you can rest your head on it or you have to scoot way down so it doesn't cut into your shoulders.
4. Base is too thick to support your belly
5. Fluffing or flattening the pillow doesn't work, it is stuffed to the max
5. I am 5'3 and it comes to the top of my knees on one side and if it is cutting into my shoulder in the top it will come to my lower back.
6. To keep your whole hip/let supported you need to have your legs really bent as shown the pictures.
7. It doesn't fold up or lay neatly anywhere
8. Not breathable
SPEND THE EXTRA $40 AND BUY THE COMFORT U WITH FIBER FILL, IT BREATHS, IS ADJUSTABLE WITH THE THICKNESS IN AREAS, AND IS LONG ENOUGHT TO COVER YOUR WHOLE BODY. FOLDS IN 2 SO THAT YOU CAN PLACE IT UNDER YOUR PILLOWS WITH YOU MAKE YOUR BED..... I WISH I WOULD HAVE STUCK WITH THAT...
We use this every day When my son was first born I used a kangaroo korner adjustable pouch every day, which was worth its weight in gold when he was newborn, but at 3 months he began to squirm his legs when we were out for more than half an hour no matter what position I tried to put him in. So I read up on a lot of different carriers and decided to try the ergo. I'll save the pouch for our next newborn.
He seems very comfortable in the ergo for our long walks. We are both hot blooded and sweat easily, and we live in Southern California. We peel off layers of clothing as we heat up, and I can loosen it to let a little air in between us. I sometimes support him while he stands in it when we really need to cool off, or he needs to stretch and we won't be heading home for a while. (We get much hotter when I try to carry him in my arms.) I can get him in and out of it easily by myself.
I use it to pad his back on changing stations.
He is getting used to the idea of nursing in it, but he doesn't like me to move while he is trying to swallow. The rest of the time he only likes to be in it if I am constantly moving, walking or bouncing him.
The only problem is he cant face out. I was tempted to get an out facing carrier, but the reviews I found seemed to agree they aren't as comfortable for mother or child, and the baby outgrows them quickly.
The ergo seems to be useful for up to 2-4 years. When he starts walking I will probably just use it when he is tired.
He is almost 4 months old now. I wear him on the front for our daily walks, and on my back when I am doing chores around the house. I also use it to lull him to sleep when he is cranky with gentle bouncing and singing.
The storage pouch is only big enough for a wallet and keys, or 1 diaper. The hood snaps onto the shoulders to keep his head from bobbing around when he is sleeping. I recommend getting the sucking pads for the shoulder straps, the store and web sight were out when I bought my ergo, but they should have them in this weekend, I might get two pairs. I have some burp rags safety pinned to the place where he sucks and slobbers all over.
