See mixed reviews on the padding. Some say its too thin and others say its comfy. Also being that there is no comfort grip on the handle, does that make it more difficult to hold and or carry?

I would consider the padding to be average or maybe slightly on the thin side but I don't consider it to be a deal breaker. As for the handle, I don't think it causes any problem with carrying the seat. What makes it difficult is the weight of the child. It's rated to 35 pounds but even with my son being 25 pounds, it gets tough to carry very far!

It's not any easier or harder to carry than a few others I've used. The annoying truth for me was that every car seat this style is something I didn't want to carry around very far because it's heavy and I just gave birth. By the time my pelvic floor was strong enough to carry heavy awkward things, baby was big and old enough to rarely make it a feasible idea. I carry the car seat when he is sleeping, and only to load it in a stroller or grocery cart. And this particular model doesn't even clip onto the grocery cart like most do. I would generally call the padding thin. The head support padding is useless. The shape of it pulled the straps to make it ill fitting on my baby. The nurse/lactation consultant helping me install my car seat advised that I take it out because it was restricting the proper fit of the belt and to just use a rolled up burp rag. While this seat is ok, I find a lot of things annoying and would go with another model next time.

It is comfortable. I think it is easier to have a better grip, because it curved nicely inside the hand.

The grip is pretty thick and the unit is kinda heavy. I can't use it for extended perids of time.It's more beneficial to me when my husband uses it on me. If you have a small hand and small frame to might want to try a smaller unit. Hope that helps.

The handles are comfortable. The case is very light. I have not done so yet, but would imagine that it would be easy to carry for extended periods of time.

Its definitely well padded from the front and back and its decent at the bottom. Ive had it for 4 months now and I really like it. The only complaint (for what its worth) I have is that it sits a little weird against my back when Im carrying it.

Mine is fairly comfortable as a neck strap, although I usually do not use it that way. I usually sling it over my shoulder (similar to a rifle strap). The rubber padding is soft enough that it conforms well to the shape of my shoulder and does not slip off. I like my strap a lot because I have large digital SLR that is a bit on the heavy side. I think it is a good bargain for the price. It's a good product.

Hi Jim, I own the bag and I can attest to it's comfort. The bag has padding around the majority of the strap and it sits nicely one shoulder and through the chest area. I have uploaded pictures of me wearing the product to help you get a better idea of what it looks like. They are located in the customer uploaded photos section of the review but I have also put the photos up on my Flickr account (TarahS16). I am happy with the bag, I wore it all day at an outdoor art festival and I didn't get sore or have any tender spots when I got home that night. This bag is also the perfect size for a woman because its not too big. It won't overpower a small frame.

It is very comfortable to hold and smooth to the touch. Because the blade is so thick and long, and I also don't believe this knife is full tang, the handle is very lightweight in comparison to the rest of the knife. I was not disappointed with the quality of the handle. Remember this knife is usually under $10, so its a great deal I would pay more for it, but it is still a $10 knife. More for show than anything else.

i did not find the edges sharp at the handle. it is easy to hold, and it is comfortable to carry in hand.

Hi. You should try some out at a sport goods store. What you do is grip the handle at a slight past 90 degree angle, either direction depending on what hand you use, and the size is depends on the comfort of your grip. It shouldn't be where it's too bulky in your hand or too small where your fingers touch each other.

It is a really grippy handle even when wet, I have never had it happen, I wouldn't worry about it. Super comfortable ergonomical and grippy ruberized handle. Most comfortable and sharpest knife I have ever owned.

When using it normally, I have no problems at all with gripibility. I've never used it wet or with wet hands, but that might become slippery. But normal use, I have no problems :) I would say it's slick, but not at all slippery

Not especially soft or rough. Its made for strength. Note that it's relatively narrow and depending on the weight you carry, it may dig into your skin somewhat unless you add a pad of some type. Make the pad soft.

The handles are too short for over the shoulder use. The long shoulder strap (which is long enough for crossbody use) can be shorten enough so it feels like a handbag strap.

It's not super padded, but not hard plastic either. If you find it too hard, it would be easy to get a cushioned seat cover. I did find myself sore from the seat for the first few days, but if you use it consistently, you won't notice it for long.

I use the contour handle all the time to carry my bag. The handle fits well in my hand, it is, however, just a little too short to put over my shoulder.

Yes, it is indeed comfortable to carry coz your shoulder doesn't hurt due to its soft material.. I like putting it on my shoulder and easily swing it behind to grab something or carry the baby but unlike my previous bags, I don't feel any twitching or friction on my skin.. Loving it! :-D
