"From day one, the EllaRoo has worked INCREDIBLY well. My (now 13.5 month-old) daughter and I just met up with friends for a long weekend -- 8 women I met online whose babies are the same age as my little girl. In any case, we went to Disneyland together, and I was absolutely the envy of all with my EllaRoo. My daughter was able to nap at all her regular times, was not distracted by the craziness of the theme park, and was very well-rested while all of the other babies struggled to sleep in their strollers. I was also able to enjoy dinner while Eleanor slept, go on all of the rides wearing her (instead of leaving her behind asleep in the stroller, or having to skip the rides to walk her around), and could even ride the public transportation to and from the park, all the while never interrupting her as she slept. And, just to top it off, my back NEVER hurt while wearing her -- fantastic!
The EllaRoo also made it incredibly easy on the airplane. I didn't need a bulky carseat for Eleanor to nap in... instead, she just curled up in the wrap. Everyone marveled at how easy it was for her to fall asleep even on the plane. Of course, we still take a stroller with us and it's great for many things... but having the EllaRoo to fall back on is awesome. It truly made traveling a breeze.
I am certain that, after seeing Eleanor and me in action last weekend, all of my friends will be ordering wraps when they have their next children! The one I just ordered is for a friend whose second child is three weeks old, and who saw me with my wrap and just had to get her hands on one.
Haven't quite mastered back-carrying yet... I just told my husband that Eleanor and I need to start practicing that! She's not too heavy yet for a front carry, but I'm sure she will be soon, and I don't want to let the EllaRoo go to waste until our next baby!
The EllaRoo is, hands down, the single best item I've come into contact with for my daughter and me. I (obviously) can't say enough great things about it! Thank you for introducing me to such a fabulous product." - Emily H.
"By the way, I found your product through a friend who simply loves her wrap, and has used it successfully with her second child from birth through now 13 months and going strong. Like her, I searched high and low for a good solution for my second child, but didn't find your product in time, and I don't like slings with rings. Now, due with my third, I am thrilled to have a product that is so versatile and that I know works just the way I would like it to." - Tara C.
"I only received my ellaroo wrap yesterday and I am already thrilled with it. My children have always gotten too big too fast for conventional front carriers. My 18# 3 month old is absolutely loving being able to be carried all day. He even seems to sleep more soundly. Now on my 3rd baby I only wish I would have discovered this wrap long ago! Thank you so much for making these products available for people like me!" - Rachel in Tennessee
"My Ellaroo wrap just came in the mail today, and I wanted to let you know how much I LOVE it! My baby is two months old, and I'd tried a couple of other slings and carriers that either killed my back or made her unhappy. I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to wear my baby as I had hoped. But the wrap solves all our problems. My baby thanks you, my back thanks you, my housework thanks you ... I will definitely recommend the wrap to anyone and everyone!" - Kim and Clara A.
"I wore the EllaRoo for a little while and immediately noticed how much cooler it is than the [stretchy wrap]. I also really liked your wearing instructions - I have been doing the front wrap cross carry differently. With your way, I *might* be able to get him out without waking him." - Darien W.
"I am the mom of a 6 month old and the EllaRoo has been the ONLY thing so far that she will tolerate." - Martha G.
"I received my Ellaroo wrap yesterday and love it already! It is absolutely beautiful and just wearing it one day I can already tell it is a great baby carrier. My son is so much more secure in it than my sling type carriers and it is much more comfortable to wear." - Jennifer M.
"I LOVE the first Ellaroo I ordered so much, i decided I need another! So far this is the best way to carry a baby, and it only took 4 previous sling designs to find that out!" - Sarah I.
"I, like so many others, can't tell you how wonderful your wraps have made my baby/toddler carrying life. I was wary of the complexity, the advantages, and the cost. But the reviews (and the fabrics) won me over and I'm thrilled. . . Your fabrics are lovely, all cotton, and light . . ." - Allen S.
"2 month old Oliver lives in the Ellaroo! How else could I keep up with my 18mos twins, Max and Rosie?!" - Kate H.
"I had to run to the grocery store yesterday (it's been too cold to leave the house so this was my 1st time using it in public) and I was stopped by 3 different women who asked what it was before even commenting on my nearly 6 week old baby. I told them how I wear him all day with no back pain, as with other front carrier styles I could barely make it out shopping for a couple hours with out back pain. Thank you!" - Jenni R.
"I love the carrier and use it all the time!" - Mary O.
"I have been using my Ellaroo pretty much every day since I got it and it is working out great. You were totally right about the adjustment thing. Sometimes I get it wrapped a bit tighter, others looser, but no matter, it still seems comfortable and secure. I'm doing a lot of front and hip carries, and soon I hope to work my way up to back carry. The Ellaroo fabric is just awesome, a great weight for CA and the colors are fabulous. I'm totally thrilled. Thanks for the help and guidance!" - Julie Z.
". . . it is VERY secure and comfortable for me for long front carry. I can even bend over and get clothes out of the dryer w/o strain. (DD is almost 20#.)" - Nancy H.
". . . I did want to say how pleased I am w/ my new-to-me Ellaroo. I've figured out how to get Eliza in there facing out, which she likes, by doing the wrap cross carry (edit: with the "wrap" on the outside). . . About the shoulder strain issue . . . the Ellaroo helps by distributing her weight between my two shoulders and my waist."
"I am really loving my EllaRoo, it is my favorite sling and I think I've probably used it every day since I got it. It is the easiest on my neck/shoulders out of all the carriers I have." - Hannah D.
