Oh Snap! Review
Okay, this isn't going to be detailed or professional or anything.
I got an Oh Snap today! Red straps and Cavalares print. Just to preface, I have a Babyhawk MT, a Beco, ring slings, and woven wraps so that's what I am comparing too.
I love the Oh Snap! it is a really well made carrier (obviously). I got it at a bit of a discount since I bought it "used" from Babycenter's swap board. I am 103lbs and 5 feet. My daughter is 9 months old and 17 lbs. We're little people (but not like, literally little people, just smaller). The Oh Snap is for children 6+ months old who are 15-45lbs so we are going to get a lot of use out of it. It has A LOT of straps. It should probably be called Oh Strap! but whatever. I'm going to have to make sure they are all clipped and what not before we use it again. I had to pull them all just about as tight as possible but the fit was good. I DON'T like that the sternum strap must be removed for a front carry. That bothers me. I'm so absent minded sometimes I know I'd loose it. Otherwise, I really really like it. We went on a walk and I had Olive on my back. We were both comfy and she almost fell asleep. The straps aren't huge like on my Beco and didn't seem to fall off my shoulders. I like that she was higher up than with my other SSC. It was cooler since there is no inner harness. I love the color and print. So far, I think it will be worth the $120. I could theoretically carry her until she's like 5 or 6 if she follows the weight gain I did as a child.
Anyways, here are some pictures!
