Is this carrier easy to put on alone? Or is help required to get it strapped on...?

Being the uncoordinated person I am, I needed help. My wife could do it without help.

I find that it's relatively easy. I have the ErgoBaby Sport, but it goes on the same way. I think it's super easy to put on with baby in the front, a bit more tricky on the hip (though I have that down cold), and a bit more difficult on the back. I had my husband help me a few times so that I could adjust everything correctly. I have longer arms, so I can reach back and clip the back support fairly easily. I think if you go into major retailers, they'll have a sample you can try out - it took me 2-3 times, but I whip that thing on and off like nothing now. :) Hope this helps!

Depends on your flexibility. If you can hold your own hands behind your back at the height of your shoulders, is easy. If you can't, you either need the help of somebody else or you could pre-attach the upper buckle, but that's easy too. Is way easier to put on than the long fabrics like the Moby (which I used a lot and loved it when my baby was younger) and the learning curve is way shorter.

Yes, all carriers can be been done by yourself, there are some great videos on You Tube of differen ones

Yes after practicing a few times I found it easy to put on alone and now it's really quick. I snap the bottom and then use both arms to reach up and back to snap the top but to undo the top I use one arm to hold the baby and the other I reach from the back upwards to undo. It's really not bad at all. :)

It is easier with someone. But I do it myself a lot. First strap the waist the do one shoulder strap and tuck the baby inside- pull up the the strap. Hold baby in place with one hand and snap the top with the other. I have not struggled to do it and I am a very short person, I would imagine it would be easier for a taller person.

It's not so much heavy as it is cumbersome and awkward. Once you get under it and up you need to move quick. I recommend some lifting straps and another person to be on the safe side. Esp. with stairs involved.

its kind of easy. You just take the seat out of the base, then push the button on the from near where the buckle part is. While holding it, push the strap in. THe instructions are also behind the seat.

One person can set this up/down but it just takes more time. I've done it by myself. You just have to be patient and pull out each corner a bit at a time. It's a bit heavy to drag around but the carrying case has wheels to help with that.

I usually have help, but once the SUP touches the back of the rack it goes on fairly easy to put on. I did purchase a pad that attaches to the back rack that hangs down over the top to just over the back window to prevent this. I have not had to load it myself yet (but I feel certain I can). This pad looks like it will work ok to prevent scratching -- the reason I purchased it was I had the same concern. We also have a Yolo Yak and a kayak which I would not attempt by myself.

You can't. I wish you could. But for my 19lb 4 month old who can't sit on her own and HATES the carrier because she is smooshed.. this is a lifesaver!

This isn't a carrier. My Maltese (puppy) was kept in here when I wanted to keep her safe and out of things. I recently used the pegs that are included to anchor this outside at a family gathering. She (now grown at 12 lbs.) and my cousin's Boxer (a 9-wk old who was about 9 lbs.) were able to knock it over until we remembered to anchor it. The sides are canvas with a metal frame. It folds compactly at the seams of each side and stores in its own case with a handle for easy carrying.Hope this helps!

It depends on how strong you are and how heavy your mattress is. I was able to put on by myself, I'm 5"11 160lb, in good shape, but it wasn't a cake walk. It's possible though, I lifted up the mattress and slid this underneath it at the foot of the bed and then lifted the mattress up at the top of the bed and got it all the way underneath it. Then you can pull the cover of the SafeRest over the top of the mattress and zip it together. I hoped that helps a little.

I am not sure exactly what you mean by taking it apart. You only need to undo the velcro, insert the metal poles back into the holes that are in the "basket" part of the carrier after washing it. The rings that the straps attach to slip through slits in the seat part. Once you do it you will see how simple it really is. I know crazy isn't it!!!

I haven't used this carrier for a few years (my daughter is now almost 3), but as I recall, you can unclip on the side and put the baby in facing the front. I remember this carrier being very user friendly.Hope this helps!

Very easy. I'm a 27 and a weak girl and I set it up all by myself. Just have to make sure u have something u can use to prop up one side until u get the base on.

The straps should go over the top of the carrier. The carrier has D-Rings on the side of it that act as guides for the straps, but they are not the attachment method. You are welcome to give us a call at 888.685.GEAR and we can provide installation assistance.

Yes...very easy. It stretches very easily and has enough slack so it is not a struggle to put on.

Somewhat easy to take on and off. There are two open-faced hooks on the top, and if I recall correctly (It's on my fiance's bike) there is a bungee cord strap and hook on the bottom. The Bungee cord can be a bit hard depending on where the baskets fit on your rack (that is if I'm recalling correctly). We don't actually take them on and off. We zip tied them on to make it difficult to remove when at the store. The bike is inside any other time.

I would use the carrier attachment at least until my child could sit up by themselves on the ground...about 6-8 months old.
