I was looking for a carrier that would allow close contact with my daughter, but would also offer a good amount of support so I wouldn't feel it in my back or shoulders. The Mei Hip definitely suited that purpose. I was able to keep her close to me, and most of the weight was distributed on my hip, not my back or my shoulders. She also didn't seem to mind being in the carrier. I also have a Kelty Kangaroo, which she pretty much hates. The only drawback is that she does ride rather low in the carrier, and when she gets tired, she slouches even more. This causes her cheek to rub on the carrier, which caused a heat rash. I would definitely recommend this carrier, especially if you want to keep the baby close.

I did a lot of research on hip carriers prior to buying this one and I was disappointed as soon as I opened the box. The first reason was because there weren't any instructions included...! I spent $80 and then had to go online to the manufacturer's own website and download them myself! VERY annoying. So, once I had the instructions, I got myself and my 7.5mo son ready for our first attempt and I could not get him into this comfortably. He started crying straight away and he just hated it. I think the major flaw is that the carrier is basically one big rectangle.. your baby's legs are meant to straddle this huge STRAIGHT seam, and all the fabric, and there was no way that he was going to be comfortable this way. Maybe this would work better for a larger baby/small toddler, but my 18lb son was just not going for this. I did manage to finally get the carrier on, and the shoulder 'cup' kept slipping off, and I am not a narrow-shouldered person so I'm not sure how this should work either. I returned this product the next day.
Since then, I've purchased a Playtex Hip Hammock and so far, so good! No tears, just a MUCH happier baby and mom!

I was looking for a way to transport my 9-month old when I had drop off my 3 year old at preschool, but remain hands-free. This fit the bill for that, but definitely has some drawbacks. I had a hard time finding a comfortable position for me and my baby - she was always too low so her face was in my chest...I probably just need to spend more time on finding the right position. Once in though - it does allow you to be hands free which was my original goal. The other problem I think I'm about to run into is I live in Ohio and winter is coming...not sure how this is going to operate over a coat - and will probably need to keep adjusting depending on what coat I'm wearing... The other thing I'm starting to think is that when my baby is walking - not too far off, I probably wouldn't use this at all...So in the end, kind of an expensive item for short-term limited use.

We started out with a Baby Bjorn after my son was born that a relative gave us. It was fine for the first few months but, once he hit 17 lbs the shoulder pain was just out of control. We did a bunch of research online and found lots of positive reviews for the Ellaroo Mei Hip. I ordered it and have truly never looked back. It is so incredibly comfortable, even now when he is far heavier. (He is nearly a year old now.) All of the weight is down on my hip and I regularly walk the 3 mile path around the lake by my house with him on my hip with very little effort and no pain. It also packs so small & light that it is really easy to keep in the diaper bag and pull out whenever we get somewhere in the car. A great product!
