Is this carrier fairly easy to put on & take off by yourself, and would it be safe to the child to put on & take off by yourself?

Its suggestedin the saftey manual to have another person help, however, I never have used any help and the pack has an extendable/retractable stabalizer bar to set the pack up so you can place the child in, and then put it on. The pack will actually stand on its own, with the child in it.

It is also easy, and I feel it is plenty safe for the time it takes to put the pack on and off. I wouldnt leave the child unattended, however, my son is 18 MO and hasnt been able to knock it over while I gathered things and then put on the pack.

It is installed as is. This isn't "removable" like the infant carriers. This seat is probably best for a larger child, we moved our children to this type seat around 1 year old.

As long as she can sit up on her own, hold on to the handles as needed she should be fine. My daughter and I started about age 2.5 and I felt she was secure. Good luck!

Putting baby in the ergo can be used without assistance pretty easily, with practice, but I recommend watching the video demonstration from the Ergo website, or YouTube. I found the demo very helpful to mitigate some of the complaints I read from other reviews, like getting the straps loose. The latch that ends up in the middle of your back can be a little tricky until you are more confident about the baby being in the carrier before it's all tightened and secure.

Yes, she would be comfortable because her legs will wrap around you, unlike in some other carriers like the bjorn, where the legs hang down. My son is around 35 inches and fits perfectly. Though at 28 pounds is getting too heavy for me for the front position! 19.5 pounds though - no prob!

Hi Erik. It's pretty small so if your kid is not into running around within it, then it's fine (ie just sitting playing w a toy etc) and it's plenty tall such that they can't get out of it. Much lighter and easier to assemble than a pack n play. You need to get a sheet for it too, remember .

No.its not. is easy to taked out. But, if you scare when you baby is on?My baby is 5 months, 19 pounds now and that never happen.but i think in 6 or 8 weeks more we cannot usened anymore.becuase of the size.this is perfect for winter time (for the material) for summer in my opinion is little hot (cozy), and you have to check on the baby couple times to make sure he can get air.

Very easy, it folds up while connected. I have no trouble putting mine away after baby goes to sleep

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!

We are carrying a 16 nicer with this carrier. Though you have to be a little creative on how to fit it and to secure it. But for us it worked well and it did not fall off on multi hour drives ;)

Yes it's comfortable but not removable. My 5 year old usually is able to secure the seat belt herself. No complaints so far.

I would say a child that can sit well by himself and is already crawling. It's a cool stroller but the canopy keeps popping off so when travelling you need a gate check bag for it - that way you won't lose it.

This is very easy on and off but every child of any age w this life vest will have to have help to get it on and off because the back of it has a latch attached to the straps in the back. I like the idea of that tho because the child can't take it off or it will slide off of the child. U know ur child's safe. It slides on in the front and then you have to snap the latch in the back. Its a very strong safety latch. Very much love this life vest and my daughters 5 yrs old, very skinny and slinder for her age. We've already used it 4 times in the last month. :) hope I helped answer ur question.....

Very easy . I can put it on and take it off by myself. I like it better than the one that came with the pool.

I put up and take down all by myself and sometimes with a kid strapped to me. It's easy and quick!

Yes, I would say a child of 3 and above would be able to open it by themselves.

It's very comfy you learn how to wrap it quite easily. It's comfortable for you and baby. Good as a hip carrier however I stopped using mine at around 7 months of age for my daughter since she grew out of it. I'm sure it would be great for a toddler. I don't recommend it as a back carrier though.
