LOVE it!
By L. Sullivan
This is one of the best things I've bought for my baby!! We have two other slings (the adjustable kind with rings) and a baby bjorn-- none of them hold a candle to the peanut shell. It is the easiest to put on and the most comfortable to wear-- not to mention more fashionable. If my baby is tired and fussy, I pop him in the shell and he goes right to sleep. He also really likes trips to the supermarket because he gets to look at all the goodies at shelf level-- not like being trapped in a car carrier. FYI- because it doesn't adjust one size does not fit all-- my husband's shoulders are too big to wear my peanut shell, so he uses the bjorn.

Difficult at first
By Chic Chef
I bought this because it didn't have rings and looked easy to put on. My baby did not love this at first. He would straighten his legs and refuse to get in. Plus as a preemie, he was completely sunken in and often his chin would touch his chest (not safe). After much practice and adjusting the shoulder outward creating less of a pouch, he is able to sit up. It is cozy and your baby will fall asleep in it.The hard part now is getting him out without waking him up. I think it would be better for an older infant who can hold his neck up.

Loved it for a while
By K. Campos
I bought the Peanut Shell when my son was 6 weeks old. He was a very fussy baby and this dramatically reduced his fussiness and my stress level. I loved that I could easily fold it and tuck it into the diaper bag. It is easy to use and not overly hot due to excess material. I used it for him in the chest-to-chest carry, kangaroo carry, and hip carry. I clean houses for a living and take him with me so it's very important that I could carry him at times but also have him out of the way.My baby loved to sleep in the sling and he always seemed comfortable. I never had a problem getting it off and keeping him asleep. I would just hold him under his legs/bum with one arm and use the other arm to slip the sling over my head and lay him down on a bed.On the downside...I thought the price was a little steep for a loop of fabric!!!My son is now 5 1/2 months and 17 lbs. He seems to be inbetween the size where he fits completely in the sling and where he sits with his bum in the sling and his legs hanging out. I always felt like he wasn't very safe when I tried it with his legs out. And I definatly wasn't comfortable with putting him on my back.Additionally, although it does a pretty good job of distributing his weight by the time I take him out I usually feel out of whack. In the hip carry the weight pulls on one shoulder and pushes in on the opposite hip. Another thing that was difficult is that with my job I do a lot of reaching and the sling seemed to limit mobility on the side that it hung from.I loved that it was so simple but at the same time I struggled a bit to get it just right. It always felt like he was hanging a bit low and maybe this contribute to me be sore after a while.Conclusively, I loved the sling for a while but now that my son is older/bigger I've moved onto the Ergo Baby Carrier. I will definatley be hanging onto the Peanut Shell for my next baby though!!! Maybe I can have my son on my back and another baby in the Peanut Shell on the front. That'll turn some heads!!!!
