I would just like to say “THANK YOU” for dispatching my new Kari-Me sling so quickly. I received it the next day. (Well I would have done if I was in to receive it – so had to collect from sorting office day after), but I couldn't wait to try it out, and it is just BRILLIANT!! My son is just so happy whilst in the Kari-me, he looks so comfortable too, and it is the most comfortable sling I have ever tried. Glad I decided to purchase it. Thanks again.

I just wanted to mail to let you know how impressed I am with your service. I ordered a Kari-me yesterday which arrived today and I absolutely love it! I've been ever so stressed about which sling to order and I've tried a few but none anywhere near as comfy as this one. Thank you!

Heather Birchall

The most comfortable to wear sling I have ever tried, like one of the other comments, I wish I had found this first time around. Reasonable price too compared with some similar slings, my son (5 weeks) is so comfortable in this and I hardly know he is in it (except when trying to wash up - its like being pregnant again having to stand away from sink!!) VERY VERY happy with this. AMAZING service too, I was told I would receive within 3 days and it actually arrived the next day - really impressed and recommend to everyone :-)

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Kari-me's (yes I have 2). I used it for my 2 off my children. and they both loved it, my dd who is one still goes in and still loved being in it.... I just seen the new side tie in the booklet here so will be trying that out as soon as I can. I am forever lending mine out to friends and recommending them.. If you are struggling with the sling practice makes perfect.The more you try and get it right the easier it will get to put in and you to will love it

What a god send. I didn't use a sling for my 1st child and she was a colicky, whingy, poor sleeper up until about a year old. I was recommended the kari me by the local breastfeeding support service and i'm so thankful. My 2 child was a whole different kettle of fish. No colic, slleps well, a very contented little baby and i put it all down to the sling. I wear it to do the cleaning, gardening, shopping, playing with my older child and now she's a little older my youngest gets excited when she sees me reaching the sling out! A definite must have. Much easier than struggling round town with a pushchair as well.

mum of 2, Stoke-on-Trent

We were given a kari-me as a present by my mother who had been recommended them. My three week old son has been up all night with an upset stomach and we have not been able to settle him. I put him in his Kari-me and within 5 minutes he was fast asleep. He seems really happy to be snuggled up and held close. Thanks

We LOVE our kari-me, our only regret is that we found you on our fourth( and last!) child. How amazing to have a sling with no sharp plastic clips and that sent our kids to sleep!! Thank you for such a great product. I'm a GP and have been recommending it to all our new mums!!

I hired out your sling from the Oxford sling meet. Having a premature baby who was very colicky meant that I used it all day every day. I returned it to the library to try out another sling, it was awful by comparison, so I borrowed two from a friend, both were uncomfortable and within 12 hours I had ordered a Kari me of my own. I could not do without it. Superbly comfortably, and I quite like how it looks, especially the aqua. Wore it to a wedding and my mother, who does need glasses, commented on my nice new top! Baby loves it, so do we. Use it every day to get baby to sleep. Could not cope without it, especially with a house to run and a toddler to look after. Thank you

Mary Watson, Mother of two, Oxford

WOW WOW WOW WOW. I have never been in love with a product like I am with my new Kari-Me sling. It is fabulous. I will be telling everyone with babies that it is a MUST buy. I can't thank you enough ! It is so easy to learn how to use and is not at all difficult to put on or to put a baby in on your own. Best buy ever xxxxxx

Zoe Durber, mum of 4 and foster carer, Stoke-on-Trent

Its amazing, I can not rate it highly enough. When I had number two it was great to have him attached to me whilst playing with child number 1.

Mother of 2, surrey

I purchased the Kari-me after seeing a mother travelling with her toddler snuggly and securely in the sling on her back! My son had colic and Kari Me enabled me to carry him comfortably in an upright position for the first 3 months of his life. He slept in it and breastfed in it. Without it, I am certain I would not have been able to complete the 2nd year of my degree course - I did everything in the Kari me from studying at the computer to preparing and eating dinner. The fondest memories I have of my son in his first year are of him sleeping in the sling while I went for long walks. I especially loved wrapping a huge winter jacket over the sling and going for long walks in the snow or rain. It is completely hands-free and secure, and myself and my husband used to fight over who do the carrying!!! This was my 3rd sling, having tried the leading brand which caused back pain after about hour or two, I was looking for another solution. With Kari Me I never used to get back pain, even after 3 or more hours of walking when he was 1 year old. I am expecting number two and can't wait to feel that feeling again. I would highly recommend this to any Mom or Dad.

Jane Potgieter, London

I bought a Kari-Me sling for my second daughter, after never finding one I could use with my first. I am only 4'11'' and no other sling I tried would adjust small enough for me to use in the correct position, I tried kari-me because this is just not an issue, it is just one piece of fabric and therefore fits everybody. I was so glad my reasoning was proved right and as a bonus they are much more comfortable to wear than any other I've tried also. My third child is due at the end of October and there will be no more trial and error for me, it's straight back into my Kari-Me sling. Love it!!

mother of 2, soon to be three, Northumberland

I used your sling with my first son and found it a God-send. He would settle and fall asleep in it when all else failed. Foolishly, when my second son arrived I bought into a different brand of pre-tied carrier thinking that it would be quicker to use. Bizarrely, it was way more fiddly and far less comfortable. I wish I had stuck with the Kari-me, I feel quite nostalgic about the lovely hours spent so close to my son and wish I had done the same with the little one! Learn from my experience - this is the best sling you can buy!

Busy mother of 2 boys aged 3 and 8 months, Oxford

Kari me was a god send, it was fantastic to have my baby that close without much effort from me, it was fantastic. I had what I call the uncomfortable carriers with my other children and to be honest hardly used them. Now Kari me is available I cannot understand why anyone would buy the other type. I especially loved the Kari me when I went to places that were not pushchair friendly, the empowerment I felt being able to concentrate on my other children at school was great I used to always say I was on hands free mode I even decorated once with my baby with me. Thanks Kari me for making motherhood that little bit easier Elizabeth Bailey mummy to Thomas, Harrison and William

Elizabeth Bailey, Mum of three, Nottinghamshire

Thank God for Kari-me! I am african and we have the baby carrying culture. However, we carry babies on our back from birth and I was not 'bold' enough to do this as he seems very small. However, the kari-me is a better and safer way of carrying babies compared to how its done back home. My baby is 7 weeks old and the first four weeks was 'hell' I was always tired from carrying him around in my arms, sometimes I am not able to eat or even have my bath! But since purchasing the kari-me, it has been so easy. I can now move around and with him blissfully asleep. He has become a much happier baby too, the smile on his face when he wakes up is priceless. Also, he sleeps better at night too, when obviously he will be in his cot. Wish I had found out about this from day one. Thank you

A. A. First time mother, London

This is the best carrier out there. I used it with my first son from 8 weeks old until he was walking at 1 and was 12kg. I could wear him up to 10 hours a day with no back pain, amazing weight distribution. He absolutely loved it. Facing out when awake, and tummy to tummy when time for sleep. Made me feel incredibly close to him. Now have son number 2. Put it on when he was 1 hour old, and he was only out of it at night until he was 3 months old. The best thing I have ever purchased. Thank you so much

Niamh G., Doctor, London

Libby is our fourth baby, and unlike all the rest who arrived late and easily, she was born 7 weeks prematurely. I have carried her in the sling since she left special care, and it has been utterly indispensable. I carried all my previous babies in slings, but this has been the most comfortable and easy to wear by far. I teach pilates and spend a lot of time talking about and encouraging good posture. The weight distribution of the Kari-me is excellent compared to my other carriers and my posture has been better and back pain far less. It was very special to carry Libby for those 7 weeks that she should have been inside me. The hospital encouraged 'kangeroo care' and that's exactly what it felt like. As close to being pregnant as you can get. She'll be in it for many months yet and I've just ordered another so I can wash the first more often!

Emma Borlase, UK

I love the Kari-Me. I found it when my son was about 6 weeks old after borrowing a friend's for a few hours. We were in a car accident shortly afterwards and the Kari-me ensured I could give my son the cuddle-time he needed without hurting my neck and back further. We still use it three years later: my son loves being in the carrier with either mummy or daddy, on bonfire night he was snuggled in the carrier in his pyjamas and still goes to sleep in it: he's so comfortable, safe and happy. It's the only product I bought for a baby that I'm still using! Well, that and the change table. Best buy ever and fantastic for clingy days. It honestly does stop crying, make the child feel safer and more loved, I keep my hands free and it just works so well for us all! If you have a colicy and refluxy baby, it washes well and dries very quickly.

I just wanted to write and let you know how fantastic I have found your wrap to be! I have only had it a few days and already am reaping the benefits of being able to carry my son around and have two hands free. My husband and I have tried out at least 4 different types of sling and had to sell them all on ebay as our son either didn't fit, or wasn't happy being carried around in them. Our son is a very large baby for his age and quite heavy as a result, but I have had no problems fitting him in this wrap (rather than trying to squeeze him into a pre-made sling this wrap fits around him). I have also found I can carry him for a very long time - usually asleep- and have suffered no back or hip ache. The fabric of the Kari-Me is wonderful quality with just the right amount of stretch and the different postions are very easy to wear. I have already had people asking where they can buy a Kari-Me and have directed them to your site, as the customer service was great. Many thanks!

E. G. Mummy of eleven week old baby boy, Ned., Worcestershire

I bought the Kari Me sling in July based on a recommendation. It was easier to put on than I had imagined. Caiden took to it straight away. I can now rock my baby boy to sleep while chasing my 2 year old and 6 year old! I regularly carry Caiden in my Kari Me while shopping or at the park. Would highly recommend this to anyone! Thank you for a fantastic product. Tracey, mum to Keira (6 yrs), Adam (2 yrs) and Caiden (5 months)

Full time mum, Cramlington, Northumberland

Wow!! What a speedy delivery! Ordered on Thursday evening, Kari-me delivered this morning (Saturday). Was very excited to try it out, and little Isabella took to it straight away! At nine weeks, she already knows that over Mummy's shoulder is the best place to be, but with the Kari-me, Mummy can actually move about and do things while Izzy is happy!! Definitely like the Huggy position best (love the fact that you've got cute names for all the different positions!). Thanks very much.

Pippa mother of Isabella (9 weeks)

First of all, a big thank you from us all, Kari Me has made our life much easier. I have found it very easy to put on - easier than I anticipated. After one or two times it comes very easily. Using the feeding position means I can carry on with looking after my 3 year old, while the baby is secure and contently feeding. She is incredibly cosy and snug in the carrier. If she is not feeding she is pretty quickly lulled to sleep. The other great benefit is it is so discreet when I need to feed out of the home. I have also used the Tummy to Tummy position, again she is very cosy and content. I like being able to pull across the extra layers if she needs more support or is cold. Above all, it is very comfortable to wear, my back, neck and shoulders all feel fine, even after a few hours

Camilla, mother of Alex (3 years) and Emma (6 weeks)

Carrying my newborn is very important to me. I have already purchased two leading brand carriers in my search for a comfortable one. Then I found Kari Me - it's definitely the most comfortable one. I think it is the best

Neil, father of Oscar, London

Since discovering Kari Me I have realised it is not impossible for me to carry Sonny (who is a heavy baby) for long periods...with Kari me we are both comfortable and don't have the hassle of a pram. Sonny loves being high up to look around

Rachel, mother of Sonny (8 months), London

I don't feel as if I am using a carrier, it feels like part of my body as though I were pregnant again... On the third day of having used Kari Me and got used to it, I was wondering why I ever bothered with anything else

Sari, mother of Noya, UK

The Kari Me is excellent...Breast-feeding is so much easier and private...Dan feeds in it, sleeps in it and travels in it. I can do so many things I could not do when my older son was a baby. I recommend it to any parent: life with a baby doesn't have to be hard

Adi, mother of Ron (4 years) and Dan (6 weeks), Cambridge

I love my kari-me sling so much and so does my baby. It ALWAYS settles him and makes my life so much more relaxed and easy. he's 2.5 months now and has spent most of his life in the sling! I have recommended it to loads of friends and been stopped in the street by lots of people to ask where I got it. Thanks for the difference you've made to our lives!

Louise Cobb, Oxford

Just a quick note to say how much I am enjoying using the Kari-me sling. It distributes the weight so well it makes carrying a baby feel almost weightless! At five months we had thought that the window for getting maximum use from a sling was over, but we liked our first one so much that we have ordered a second one so that we can carry one twin each and move around much more freely than with a twin buggy. Its a great product and a pleasure dealing with you

Ursa Massam and Mick Simon, parents of twins.

I'm really finding the carrier brilliant and it has made doing household chores so much easier. My daughter recognises when she is about to go into the carrier now and stops crying before she's even strapped in!! (she's only 3 months and already has learnt to anticipate the secure feeling it gives her) I love it!!!! Thanks again.

Virginia France

I bought Kari Me when my daughter was 10 weeks old and I loved it right from the start. It's just so comfortable! Being able to feel her so close against my body, feeling her little feet kicking in my stomach was fantastic. She also loved it, it always made her really calm. The Kari-Me is really versatile, Her favourite position was definitely the one where she could face out. She loved taking in everything that was going on. Her daddy got a lot of fun out of it as well. The quality is fantastic, I lend it to a friend and she enjoyed it and at the moment another friend is using it. So it goes a long way and when it comes back, I will use it again

Petra Eshuis, Bristol

I have to say a huge thank you! Kari Me baby carrier is a godsend. My baby doesn't like to be put down so this makes doing the most simple things really hard. A friend suggested your product and it came within 2 days. My 6 week old baby loves it, and so do I and also my husband! It means I can now make the dinner and sit with him and eat it.This is heaven, I feel like me again and know my baby is safe. Thank you once again

Louise Joannou and baby Lucy 6 weeks old

From the first days my baby was completely comfortable in my Kari-Me sling - her little body was safely supported in the stretchy fabric and she loved the comfort of being so close to me. I found that carrying my baby comforted me and the physical contact helped me to bond with her. I was so busy with two pre-school children, it was wonderful to bundle up my baby, and still be able to look after the older ones. Also, I believe that having her "tucked away" reduced the jealousy from the older two, because I was still able to focus on them. Because my baby was in the carrier from the start, she has become used to being in it and if she is crying she calms down as soon as I put her in. If she is a little unsettled (eg teething, sore tummy) the carrier also works well as she is happy to accompany me around, peeking out, while I get on with things. I believe the Kari-Me has made my daughter a calmer, happier baby. The sling is particularly comfortable for me, because the material wraps around your body, rather than having straps which cut in. Also the weight is spread, so it's kinder to my body! There have been times when my baby has seemed inconsolable and I have felt awful as she cried, but as soon as she goes in the Kari-Me and feels the warmth and rocking motion she totally calm and soothed. It's an enormous relief and has allowed me to enjoy the early weeks so much more because my baby is happier! Your product has helped me so much, and that is why I have taken the time to put all this into words!

Hannah Amiry

Hi, I've finally found the time to say a MASSIVE thank you and well done for your fantastic product. I wish I'd know about it for my first baby! I found your website through a search engine when my daughter, Cora, was about three weeks old, she's 6 months now. I placed the order at 3pm and the sling was with me by 10am the next morning and it's the best thing I have ever bought and the one thing I would never do without. Cora's colic stopped that night and she never suffered again, and I believe that's due to the sling keeping her close to me where she could hear my heartbeat and be calm. In fact I had to wake her for feeds as she would have quite happily slept all day. Your sling is so comfortable to wear, even now that she is 6 months old and getting big you can often forget you are wearing it. It enabled me to spend time with my elder daughter so she hasn't felt at all left out. My husband isn't happy but only because I'd hounded him to buy a new pram and we've hardly used it!!
