I love this carrier. I had a Bjorn w/ back support, a Sleepy Wrap (like Moby Wrap) and tried a number of slings and the Ergo... In the end, I am so glad I got this product--the best by far. It actually made my stroller obsolete until about 10+ months because it was SO much easier to just pop him in the EveryWear rather than get a stroller out, unfold it, strap in, etc. (not to mention when traveling, it's nice to not need a stroller) We've gone to Europe, all over the US, hiking in the mountains, etc.--awesome becuase it packs small but still is comfortable and has lots of built in storage. I personally didn't like the canvas texture of the Ergo, also it was bulkier and less flexible (as others have pointed out) relative to the "ride" options. Bottom line, you can throw a couple diapers and small package of wipes in the big pocket, toss your keys and cell in the small pocket, hook a few toys on the various straps/loops and you are good to go for a short walk or a whole day! Oh, also, the whole design is surprisingly comfortable even though there isn't a whole lot of padding... The way it is designed, the kido kind of sits in a pouch that rest on your hips so you really aren't using your back or shoulders to support the weight. Well worth the price paid.

Best carrier out there!
I haven't used my baby bjorn since I got this amazing carrier as a gift. It's soft and comfortable for both me and the baby, and the weight of the baby is on my hips instead of my back and shoulders. What a relief! I love it and highly recommend it.
this is great because it has all the features of the ergo, but it's not so hot because the material is much lighter. the biggest reason why i got this is that it allows for forward-facing. my baby refuses to be facing inward, but she loves this carrier because she is supported yet can see the world.
I'm sure I'm not the only Giggle customer to have spent a little too much time researching options for baby gear. There's a dizzying array of possibilities these days, and we all want to pick the best options for our children and ourselves. I can now say that the Lillebaby carrier is the most flexible carrier I've tried. It offers the greatest number of positions and it can be used longer (it has a higher weight limit) than other carriers that offer the same front, outward-facing option. I wanted an Ergo carrier for its more cushion-y straps, but my son, even as a 3 and 4 month-old, was happiest (read: he insisted on) facing out, and much preferred the Lillebaby. He enjoys long walks and hikes in it, and loves looking out - ahead - as we go. I would still like to have a comfy Ergo and try it on my son to see if he minds it now, but the Lillebaby is lightweight, comfortable enough and fairly easy to put on yourself and remove. In other words, it's a good option for those to whom versatility is important.
I just got the Lillebaby carrier and I LOVE IT! I had the Baby Bjorn and my back hurt ALL the time (and I am a chiropractor!) I chose the Lillebaby b/c it can be used forward facing. The first time I tried the Lillebaby I noticed a huge improvement. My son seems very comfortable, although the material prevents him from putting his arms down all the way. The only thing I don't love is the back clip is hard to do yourself, wish it was a little easier.

Great Carrier!
Besides the fact that I had to exchange my first one because it started to unravel right away I love this carrier. I have a New Native sling and Moby and my little boy did not like them at all. I put him in the Lillebaby and he fell right asleep! I am pretty much guaranteed an hour of sleep time (great for when i can't put him down for a nap) and a great walk for my sanity. It's pretty comfortable and relatively easy to use. I would definitely recommend the Lillebaby.
We have been using this carrier (with the infant insert) since our baby was about 2 weeks old. Very comfortable for long walks. We love the storage pockets. We chose this one because it works in so many positions. Only negative is that you need an engineering degree to wade through the directions, but once you figure it out, it is very easy to use.
I literally own every type of baby carrier that exists (pouch, ring sling, mei tai, wrap) and had always wanted to try an ergo but didn't like that you couldn't wear your baby front-facing. I recently received a lillebaby and could not be happier with it. It goes on and off so easily and my 8 month old is so comfortable and relaxed in it. The hood works great to keep the sun out of her face and also gives her added support while she's sleeping. We go to disneyland often because we live so close and I end up wearing her all day long because it's so comfortable for both of us. Who needs a stroller?

So versatile!
This carrier is easy to use, comfortable and incredibly versatile. I wish it was available when my now 21 month old was an infant! I love that it's lightweight, has multiple pockets, and is flexible enough in the waist to work for me or my husband. We use it all the time!
The carrier is good in theory, but parts are made cheaply which is why two friends have already had parts that have unraveled or come apart on their carrier, even though they were pretty new and hardly used. The product is made in China, not very eco-conscious. Would recommend using the ergo carrier!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention! As with all giggle products, we stand behind the quality of our choices. Hearing about any and all manufacturer's defects is as important to giggle as it is our customers. We always endeavor to make it right by our customers and will address any issues directly.
While not every choice we carry is best for every person, the Lillebaby EveryWear was added to our "picks" for carriers at giggle for 2 main reasons: (1) unlike the Ergo (its primary competitor) the baby can sit front-facing as an option and (2) the styling of the EveryWear is a more streamlined (uses less material) or "lighter" approach to a hybrid carrier than other options on the market. Both of these features were added as a result of customer feedback of competitive hybrid carriers available on the market, and the EveryWear has won many awards and reviews (including FitPregnancy's Gear Guide review winner for carriers!) as the "best of class" for hybrid carriers with these much in-demand added features.
