I ordered a Scootababy a few days ago and it is here already – SUPER FAST!!!

I couldn't wait to try it and ripped open the box as fast as I could. Just as quickly I had it on and popped baby in it. It is that easy to use. I just wore it for a half an hour and both baby and I love it!!! It is so comfy and really supportive! I didn't feel baby's weight (23 pounds) at all.

I am ring sling challenged and I have been really wanting a hip carrier and boy am I thrilled with the Scootababy!!!! If you have been on the fence go for it! I'm so glad I did!!! I really think the Scootababy is going to be our "go to" carrier for dog walking and errands.

We LOVE our Scootababy!

Thank you for such a great carrier!

*Love* your carrier!! Thank you so much for creating such a great design! I recently decided that I wanted to do a hip carry with a carrier, and I tried others that were either too clunky for hip or had a strap that kept digging into my neck. You totally solved that problem with your fleece shoulder strap. Really nice.

We love our Scootababy!! It is very easy to put on and adjust. The fleece cups the shoulder really well and does a nice job of staying in place. I think the thing I like the best is the body shape...it's got the perfect butt contour to it. It's nice to have a hip carrier option that really does its job so well that both my husband and I can use!!

I love my Scootababy. I have tried a great many carriers of various types but this is the first hip carrier that ever appealed to me so I went ahead and bought it as soon as it was released and I have used it daily since.

I love the interactive nature of hip carries with my babies but have also found them limited due to finding one shoulder carries a bit uncomfortable after a while. Until I found the Scootababy, the best hip carries for me were with a long wrap or double layer silk ring sling – both very supportive options, but for comfort, support and ease of use the Scootababy wins over both of those. I have quite a sensitive shoulder but find the fleece shoulder really comfortable and easy to adjust. The padded waist is ergonomically designed and fits snuggly without causing the discomfort I feel with many SSC waists. I love the fact that there is no webbing digging like most SSCs, but at the same time the weight is really well distributed with just the right amount on the hips.

I mainly use mine for awake time at home or on quick trips out and still tend to use two shoulder carriers for naps or longer carries, but have used the Scootababy successfully for these. With a 3 year old running around, my little crawling, climbing 8 month old often needs scooping up to keep him safe or settled and for this the Scootababy is great. I also use it a lot for mealtimes as he is much too active to eat in a highchair – he does not know the meaning of the word 'sit', but if I pop him in the Scootababy with a towel over the strap to catch the spilt food he immediately calms and I find the hip carry a great position for him to eat in.

I know this carrier will be with me until I stop babywearing as it is comfortable, practical and in my opinion, highly innovative and something the market has been waiting for – congratulations to Audra!

The Scootababy arrived in perfect time for our vacation, and we used it a lot! Both my husband and I find it to be very comfortable and incredibly useful with our toddler. We love and use it almost daily! Honestly have to say I am so very impressed with the overall quality of the carrier.

Thank you again for all of your help, and for such a wonderful, incredibly useful product. I forget what life was like before I had such an easy way to carry my toddler!

I used the carrier twice today, once for a last minute "Halloween" Wal-Mart trip, & then to the park to chase my 3 1/2 year old around. I L-O-V-E it! This is by far my favorite of all the carriers I've used (& I have tried a lot!)

I love that it looks "mainstream", the quality seems awesome, and...it's SO EASY! I wish I would've found you sooner!!!!! Thanks again for getting it to me so quickly & for the great customer service :-)

Just wanted to tell you that I used it again last night for Trick or Treating & it was GREAT. The more I use it the more I love it!

I just wanted to send an email to say thank you for such prompt delivery on my baby carrier, it must of been only a few working days. So quick considering it came from overseas. I have washed the carrier and used it a few times and it feels so comfortable. I have one of the popular frontpacks and although it is great for smaller babies my daughter is over 8kg and kills my back after 5min of her in it. I even recommended it to a friend as it seems better than the hip carrier advertised in Australia and works out to a similar price.

Thanks heaps,

I've been meaning to write for a while to tell you how much I enjoy my Scootababy. It's very comfy and the best hip carrier I have tried (and I should know as I own over 10 slings...). I use it a lot with my son Sebastien who has just turned 2. I thought you would enjoy seeing a picture of us in it.

One of the things about your sling is that it appeals to hard core slingers like me, but it also has mainstream appeal because of its streamlined looks and ease of use. It's so much better ergonomically for baby and parents than the ubiquitous frontpacks.

My Scootababy arrived in just one business day (ordered Friday, here Monday)! I was so excited that I immediately put it on and walked to the grocery store with my 8-month-old and 5-year-old boys.

The fit is so comfortable for both my baby and me. I love the fleece shoulder! It’s so comfortable and I can adjust it any way I want!

I do not normally babywear, because my son is far more interested in crawling and cruising than in being held. Today, however, he is sick and he cries inconsolably when I put him down. The only way to comfort him is to carry him constantly, snuggled up against my chest. My Scootababy does the trick! I can make sandwiches, write a grocery list, do the dishes, and even type this e-mail, all while giving my little one the comfort he needs.

I am so glad I took the chance and invested in my Scootababy!

My husband and I are loving the Scootababy, it's so easy to use, and very comfy. We also appreciate that despite our foot difference in height, we don't have to make adjustments when we switch back and forth. Our 10 month old son Isaiah is a big fan, and I don't think he's ever once been upset while riding in it! My only suggestion is to have a small pouch or pocket for keys, cellphone, as it's hard to access your pockets while wearing the carrier.

We ordered it online, but hope to see it in Toronto stores sometime. Here's a picture of us enjoying it!

Thanks,
