Bought this for use together with a Baby Bjorn Synergy carrier when my son was about 2 months old. I liked that it's lightweight and airy, perfect for the hot summer days. The hood is still a little too big for my son, who is now 3.5 months, and is more handy when my son is facing inwards rather than outwards (the hood tends to fall over his eyes when he faces outwards, which kinda ruins the purpose of facing him outwards!). Perhaps it'll fit better when he grows bigger. Still, I look forward to using it more when we travel to the tropics when he's 5 months.
