Lillebaby EveryWear Carrier Review
I was not a baby wearing mom. In the past any baby carrier I tried was too complicated, too bulky or the baby didn’t fit correctly. I swear even Einstein couldn’t figure them out. I was fortunate to be asked to review one, but I was still reluctant. But the brand name of Lillebaby and their great reputation convinced me. The result: I am now a baby wearing mom.
Here are my reasons why:
Likes
I felt like the baby was safe and secure with the clip on belt, shoulder straps and extra strap across the back
Adjustable shoulder straps with good padding.
The baby was happy and content every time I wore it
The fabric is comfortable and lightweight
It is versatile: You can use it in five different sitting positions.
Didn’t strain my back or neck. My husband felt the same way.
My husband will wear it and likes it.
Pocket in front for keys, diapers and more.
Comes with a cute hood that snaps on
Two year warranty and JPMA safety certified
Dislikes
It took us a while to figure it out and adjust it. (probably we are in the minority because we aren’t used to carriers) Bonus: They have an instructions on their website that makes it a bit easier.
Conclusion
We recommend it highly!

Writing this from Europe, we ordered this through our friends and they delivered it to us while visiting us. We bought it off GreenPea – Internet purchase.
Based on the advertising, we thought it might be comparable to Ergo and Manduca, but this product is disastrous. Despite having paid for us, we chucked it (because the 21-day return was over by the time it got to us) and bought a Manduca. Here are the limitations, comparing it to Manduca:
- the waist buckle does not have a safety clasp!!! Shoddy! I have better clasps on my sons school bags.
- the shoulder harness is thin and has to be clipped to the main strap and any toddler over a year playing with it can unhook it while he is being strapped in, makes it very difficult! It is an ABSOLUTE nightmare to clip it back on without taking the baby off!
- there is no loop or holder for the extra length of the strap, so it hangs around, very annoying!
- The straps at the back that connect the two shoulder straps are placed extremely uncomfortably and keep pressing against the top of my spine – HURTS! And it does not have any padding underneath.
- No lumbar or back support! After a while, you can feel the weight!
- The black straps are connected way too high, it should be much lower!
- Quality of workmanship: seems chin/vietnam -ese, yuck! Need I say more!
Another thing, but part of the review might be subjective: I tried to use the Lillebaby carrier with my two-month old infant, and there was no way in I could make him comfortable in that. I finally just gave up and bought a BB.
Overall, a very flimsy product with very GOOD and MISLEADING advertising! I definitely would not recommend this product. And while I am at it, just take a look at your annoying feedback form: where does one get the production number from? Yeesh!
I wrote an email back to SCI and their response was, i.e. despite that we bought it late-mid in 2010, we had the older model and that they had a newer model based on feedback. Yet, in all their designs and videos it is the same old model!
And oh, Scandinavian design… for countries that are known for their quality products not to mention reliability and simplicity in design, you are kidding me, right? I think the owner just learnt a new word “Scandinavian”, whoo, let’s use that… Claiming to be of Nordic design surely means a few more dollars!
