Fisher-Price Deluxe Perfect Support Baby Carrier

Pros: Faces front or back, frees up hands, decent price
Cons: Back pain, hard to adjust, baby unsupported, difficult to put on

I used this carrier from the time my baby was 2 weeks old until I splurged and got a Baby Bjorn (see my review on that product). I alternated between the Fisher Price carrier and my sling for about a month.

What it is:

The Fisher...

Pros: Great Support for my lower back and helps with posture.
Cons: Difficult to find the setting that is just right and comfortable for you.

I bought this carrier two years ago so it would be easier for me to care for my son (who was one at the time) and my newborn daughter. However, back then, I found it really difficult to figure out and get comfortable.

I took it out again...

Pros: Once you have it on, it's comfortable; washable; would be great for human babies
Cons: Getting it on is a real pain

I hesitated over writing this review since I don't want new parents to think I'm being facetious or trivializing the purchase of infant necessities. I'm not. This, however, is my recent experience with the Fisher Price Deluxe Perfect Support...

Pros: excellent support for the baby, baby section is separate from sling, can face front or away or use as sling
Cons: the button/slot connection is tricky, the straps can get tangled easily

The Fisher-Price baby carrier was not the first front carrier that we owned. The previous one (I've forgotten the brand), fell apart and was extremely difficult to use. After that miserable experience, I was delighted to find the Deluxe Perfect Support...

Pros: Good for getting quick jobs done.
Cons: Not good for long-term wearing.

When my son was first born, my daughter was 21 months old. I needed to be able to hold him and take care of her needs, do dishes, laundry, etc.

I went to Toys R Us, and I found this carrier. It really looked comfortable and it was the most...

Pros: Cute
Cons: Not stable for baby

When my youngest son was born, I wanted a carrier that would support him and allow me to still have hands free to tend to my older toddler. I was given this as a gift and was thrilled to use it. After only three tries, it was re-boxed and returned to the...

Pros: Easy to use, feels like baby is firmly attached!
Cons: your back hurts after a while

I still remember like it was yesterday the day I bought this carrier. My 3 week old second son had cried all morning, all the day before, and all the week before. Yes indeed, he was colicky! Something had to be done. I knew he wanted to be held at all...

Pros: Widely Available, not as expensive as some.
Cons: Hot, Uncomfortable, more expensive than others.

I know since having my Son 3 years ago, Brand names have become less and less impressive. I have found that in most cases where price is an issue and a Brand name item is at stake they are not generally the best. Fisher-Price dropped the ball...

Pros: Many possible positions for baby
Cons: Doesn't fit the average adult!!

Imagine my disappointment when you think you found one of the best things on the market to have it not be what you thought! This was the case with this carrier. I was so hoping to find something useful for me (sling) yet adjustable enough for daddy to be...

Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Can be difficult to get it on

When I first purchased this sling about a year ago the first thought that went through my head was this is very thin for a carrier. I was hesitant to try it because of that but I found myself pleasantly surprised at it's strength for being so thin.
...

Pros: keeps baby close
Cons: creates sore creases in legs, even for short length of time

Fisher Price Deluxe Perfect Support Carrier

I decided early in my pregnancy that I wanted to carry my child around with me, rather than use a swing or a bouncy seat. After arguing with my mother-in-law for months I finally found the carrier I...

Pros: convenient, easy to use, many options
Cons: backache after couple of hrs

When I was pregnant with my first child I just figured we would buy a carrier, I really don't know why, it just seemed like one of those "need" things. When we attended lamaze class however the teacher commented that some babies become...

Pros: Inexpensive, easy to use, durable
Cons: I didn't care for the sling part

I purchased the Fisher Price Deluxe front pack after the birth of our second child. With our first child I had a very hip European carrier that was impossible to use. My first clue that it wasn't user friendly should have been that it came with video...

Pros: baby can face either way, easy to use, comfortable, baby loved it
Cons: hard to learn how to use

I bought this carrier when my youngest daughter was 6 months old and I knew she would be the only baby we would use it for. I had my NoJo sling and had used it for three of my children, including her. We were making another trip to Disneyland and I...

Pros: easy to use, easy to wash, affordable
Cons: could lead to shoulder pain

As a first time mother, I quickly learned that holding my daughter all the time was something that she wanted me to do and that I didn't mind doing. Unfortunately the housework will pile up if you don't free up your hands and get your chores done. The...
