Bought this carrier after getting a dog and needing to have something to carry my 1 year old which would be able to go into forests to walk the dog. This carrier is great, it is very adjustable and unlike other carriers the chest strap is movable meaning it would not be uncomfortable on big chested ladies. This carrier adjusts to fit me and I'm short and slight-something I've read can be a problem for other carriers- and is easily adjustable to fit partner so can swap in the middle of walk if needed. It is a little heavy but is because it is so sturdy. Easy to get on and off by yourself by sitting it on a seat, don't need someone else to hold it which is handy. Very good quality for money, the top cover is pretty good in the wind but haven't tried it in the rain yet so don't know how waterproof it is.
