Finally!!!
After buying four different baby carriers and returning three, I finally found the one that meets all my needs! I previously tried the Bijou, ErgoBaby, and a random knockoff brand with a hip seat similar to this Momcozy model.
The Bijou had no back support it was so flimsy that both my heavy baby and I were uncomfortable.
The ErgoBaby was sturdy but way too bulky and hard to maneuver.
The knockoff brand was decent, but it lacked the side buckles that make getting baby in and out quick and easy.
This Momcozy carrier has everything I wanted:
? A structured seat that provides real back support
? Convenient side buckles for easy on and off
? Lightweight design
? And most importantly, my baby is super comfortable!
Another bonus: most hip-seat carriers have a solid (non-hollow) base that takes up space, but this one has a hollow seat you can actually use as a little pocket so smart!
The funny thing is, I thought this would be my least favorite because it was the most affordable. The Bijou and ErgoBaby were both close to $200, and I assumed the higher price meant better quality. I was so wrong and so pleasantly surprised!
Im writing this review to help other moms like me. Ill be traveling solo from Texas to California in December with my 4-month-old (whos almost 25 lbs and I only weigh 115 lbs for reference), and this carrier will make navigating the airport so much easier.
Im genuinely happy I gave this one a try!
