Does it require two people to get your baby in the carrier and fasten/tighten all the straps?

No it doesn't! I have the Ergo and that does which is why I don't like it. But this one it is really easy to put baby in. You slip it over yourself first and then put baby in, it has two straps on one side, an upper and a lower which you can undo easily yourself.

Nope. As long as you have the straps adjusted to the correct length for your situation, it's very easy to get your baby in and out.

You pull the straps out through the back to push the plastic through. That being said, those straps aren't really made for newborns. This fits must carrier car seats so that would be much more ideal. We didn't put our little one in the front until he was able to sit up and hold his head up.

No, you just have to keep the chest buckle buckled so that you can tighten or loosen the straps evenly. We love ours and never have any trouble.

Yes. It's possible. I use it all the time in that position with my baby. But he is 11 months old now. Not sure if you can do that with a newborn who needs a carrier.

It's incredibly easy to load my daughter for the back carry (which I thought would be the difficult one). The forward carry is harder because I can't quite buckle those straps on my back by myself so they sometimes slip down unless I have someone to buckle them for me. Their website has videos on how to work the carrier unassisted. I found those helpful.

we did. it was hard to buckle anytime.. but I had to change car seats to a convertible right away due to fit issues with the car seat.

I haven't used this carrier for a few years (my daughter is now almost 3), but as I recall, you can unclip on the side and put the baby in facing the front. I remember this carrier being very user friendly.Hope this helps!

No, it comes with straps to secure any kind of car seat whether it be for infants or convertibles. You would feed the straps through the seatbelt guide paths on your car seat, secure the strap & then tighten securely.

Yes, one way is to interlace the straps together and then hold onto one or both of them.

Newborns can be put in an Ergo, but you need the newborn insert to add to the carrier, and they need to be worn on your front only. Backpack and side carries need to wait until baby has good head control

Absolutely! It does take some practice but it is perfectly doable. I'm fairly small myself and can get my daughter in and out of the carrier without assistance.

Yes. It is difficult if you loosen and tighten each time. To get around that, I don't loosen the straps when I take my child out so I don't have to tighten them each time - the clothing your child is wearing shouldn't affect the strap length much if at all (if the clothing is so bulky you have to loosen the straps, it may create too much give in the event of an accident). Now, I do periodically have to loosen the straps a tiny bit as she grows if it gets just too hard to fasten. But, for me that's easier than ranging that adjustment each time.

Yes, but you would need 2 people to set it up because fitting the strap yourself is quite awkward

It does not require an insert like some other carriers. (Ergo) the waist band folds up and snaps to make the body of the carrier shorter to accommodate a newborn. I believe that is a feature that has changed on the newest model recently released.

If you have the insert (which you need unless your kid is really big or 2+) then yeah you have to take it off. It's very easy, even if you have a baby in one hand. We love it.

Yes, the individual shoulder straps are both attached to a single strap that is used to loosen and tighten.

I only have the carrier with the adjustable strap. Being able to adjust the strap is important to me.
