In Sync

When Infantino sent me their Sync Carrier, I was a little skeptical.  I had never used any kind of wrap before.  Just looking at it made me a little nervous.  After watching the instructional video and practicing a couple times, I was ready to try it with Stella.  I highly recommend watching videos.  I live in a small town.  It's hard to find another baby wearer, let alone an expert to hold instructional workshops.  I have relied on YouTube to learn to use all of my baby carriers. 

I only used the Sync for a front, facing in hold.  It was fairly easy and very comfortable.  All of the weight was equally distributed and the large area covered by the wrap contributed to the comfort.  After a while, though, Stella seemed to sag a little and I never could get her quite tight enough or high enough.  Perhaps more practice will remedy that. 

Normally, I use a ring sling or a structured carrier when I wear Stella.  I do prefer those to the wrap, mostly because they are easy to use and I can get them on quickly when we're out.  Also, the color/pattern on the Sync leave a lot to be desired (it's true, I am a little vain).  All in all, though, the Sync Carrier isn't bad.  I'd prefer to use it with a newborn baby and wish it wasn't so loud.  It is very comfortable.
