The way it secures the child in the carrier is nice…it would be nice if there was a way to insert the child with someones help while you were standing.

I’m the mama of the baby in the photo and she was definately very comfortable. In fact, we used a carrier to put her to sleep for her naps up until she was almost 18 months old! It was much easier than trying to convince her to go to sleep As far as the hands go, she usually puts her hands in, but this was in the middle of a photo shoot with a whole bunch of Calyxs, so she didn’t spend that much time getting adjusted to each one. Many babies prefer do their hands out though.

Jen–
I get my daughter off my back in two ways. If I am alone, I sit back against a couch, bed, or car seat–whatever’s handy, and I just take her off like a backpack–unbuckle waist and chest straps and slowly slide her off. Very safe. If someone else is around, thanks to the internal harness, I can just unclip and they can lift her up and out. We can even transfer her between us this way.

Tammy–
There is thick padding between the buckle and the leg. The baby never feels the buckle at all.

i’m worried that buckle is right on his leg and looks uncomfortable. did you find that a problem?
i love baby carriers but still vote for all cotton!

sounds like the beco butterfly they have a built in harness thing.
sounds nice and I love ssc’s. I love my beco 4th gen and have no problem putting my child on my back. maybe when the new baby comes I will look at them closer.

I own a Calyx and am a seasoned carrier user. I love my Calyx. Nervousness kept me from carrying my other kids on my back but this harness in the Calyx has allowed me to carry my 5 month old on my back. Its really a necessity in my life with two other kids to care for.

I cannot recommend it enough.

This carrier somewhat reminds me of the Ergo, except more stylish!

Nikka–the baby can put his/her hands inside or outside of the carrier. The Caylx has toy rings that you can clip a toy, binkie, etc to for him/her to play with. My DD plays with my hair, or we give her something to hold. She even has had snacks back there. She often takes a nap too. The Mama in the picture could bounce her toddler lower if she wanted the carrier to come up higher on the child’s back. There is so much to see for a baby when he/she is being worn that they don’t really get bored and need a place for their hands most of the time.
