And I was equally disappointed when it finally did. It was simple enough to strap adjust the straps. Anyone who has ever worn an ERGO will find this thing to be fairly simple to adjust.I had watched the instructional videos online and was ready to go with it. However, I’m a busty woman who has been nursing babies for the last seven years, and found that the straps were designed to go directly over my nipple area. Not the most comfortable place to cinch down a strap. Also, once the saddle piece (which is much much harder than it probably has to be) was clipped in to place, it pulled on my neck and there was no way to adjust the length of the connecting straps. My armpits kept me from simply moving the chest strap up. Not willing to give up, I forged ahead and decided to at least try it with my three year old on/in it.To give you some perspective, my three year old is in the 4th percentile for weight and the 50th percentile for height. So, he’s very skinny and has a very small bum, but legs that should be plenty long enough for the saddle and safety straps. I lifted him up over my head like I would for any other shoulder ride and found that as soon as my arms were parallel with my ears, the saddle was squeezed back and fell a few inches down my back. When I set my toddler down on, he landed wedged onto the front edge of the saddle and my neck—not in the seat. We tried this several ways and there was just no safe and reasonable way to boost him back as my shoulder shifted the saddle to a backward incline every time. Not one to give up, I tried sitting in a way that he could simply climb on. By this time, he was having none of it, but I convinced him to try. There was no way to reach up and steady him, so he couldn’t climb on securely no matter what we did. I tried shifting the saddle and adjusting it to be tight AFTER my son was in it, which finally allowed us to get him all the way in the saddle. However, this was probably not as safe as it should be (and was only possible because we were in front of a mirror) and my son complained that the saddle pinched his private area and begged to be let out.Thinking it was a problem of body shape and bust size, and that maybe the saddle itself would be more comfortable if worn by a man, I had my husband try it on. He too felt like it cut into the back of his neck, pinching in a very uncomfortable way. (We both had neck aches simply from trying this thing on for a few minutes each.) He also had the same problem with the saddle shifting backwards when he lifted our son up to put him in the seat and found he could not get him into the saddle no matter how he tried to shift or lift.The only way to make this work is to have another adult help you lift your child into the seat. Even then, you have to have exactly the right neck shape or this thing is going to make you ache. In the end, my son was running away from it and refusing to ever try it again. It’s going back. And I’m still wishing it would have worked. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not very popular with the family *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 21, 2017* This works better than carrying the child on your shoulders, but after having it for about 6 months, it has only been used a couple of times. We used it walking around at the fair and it worked OK, but not great. The 18 month old was a little small for the unit and his feet barely made it to the ankle straps. After 15 minutes or so of walking around, he felt really heavy. Neither mom nor grandma wanted to use it so it was just traded between grandpa and dad. The 4 year old fit much better in the unit and didn't really seem much heavier even though she weighs nearly twice as much but still, we got tired after a short time. It was quite a bit better than carrying the kids on the shoulders without it, but once the adult got tired of carrying (the kids were fine), it was awkward walking around with the harness either on the shoulders without a kid or just carrying it.We tried again, when we went on a beach vacation, but ended up not actually using it even once. I really wanted to like this but it just doesn't fit into an everyday use lifestyle. Maybe if the family was really into hiking and could use this a lot it would be worth it but only being used twice, it wasn't worth $40 each time it was used. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for large men who already carry their child on their shoulders *by P***B on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 22, 2016* The video of this carrier was all over facebook and as soon as my husband saw this carrier, he wanted it right away. This is two separate pieces. My daughter is very large for her size, but she is only a little over a year old, so she does not fit onto the orange saddle. We only have used the leg straps on her. My husband is very large. He is over six feet tall with broad shoulders and a broad back. He has carried her on his shoulders for months now. She has a very strong core.If you are not a man that would normally carry your child onto your shoulders, this child carrier is not for you. I doubt that many women could even use this carrier. This carrier is very well made. It is very simple to use and you can use just the leg straps or you can use the saddle with it also. If your child does not have a strong core, this carrier is not for you.We bought this carrier because my daughter loves to ride on my husband's shoulders but his neck and shoulders hurt after wearing her for only ten minutes or so on his shoulders. Now he can put her on his shoulders and we can walk around for extended periods of time without any issues. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/3632520-shoulder-carrier-original-model](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/3632520-shoulder-carrier-original-model) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
