I've had the best customer service from OE through e-mail. Always answer within 1 or 2 days max.
I got the 2.0 version (this one right here) as soon as it became available in Canada. Received it in 3 days, NO PLASTIC PACKAGING and everything was as advertised.
I'm very happy with the modifications they made to the new version. The clips for the shader are much more reliable and easy to manipulate and the new clips for the backpack are positioned in a way that lets you (or someone else) go through the pack without removing it.
Everything is super sturdy and feels very durable.
It took me 3 tries to find the right setting for me and the configuration possibilities are amazing. You can adjust this thing any way you need. I'm 5'10'' and I had to use one pair of extension for the back rods. Contrary to other carriers of this type, women can wear it too as it is easy to move the straps where they need to be.
The boys absolutely love it. As soon as I put them on there they are laughing, pointing at things and babbling a whole bunch (they don't talk yet). The bigger one is a bit on the heavy side and is very tall so it was a bit harder to carry him, especially since he tries to reach for everything he can't usually reach.
The backpack is surprisingly good too. I was expecting a cheap little thing just as a bonus and to fit a couple things but this is a real good day pack that is clearly worth at least half the price of the whole thing.
(Maybe offer a more affordable version without the pack for the people who don't need it?)
Plus the matching hats are really a good add-on and are again, surprisingly well made, 100% cotton.
The carrier is more than I expected and I don't regret it one second.
I just want to answer the weird 2 star review lower since the owner didn't answer it.
Clearly the person who reviewed it didn't read the instructions. Looking at the pictures, she is wearing the carrier and the backpack both at the same time. The backpack is meant to hang off the back of the carrier. Of course it would be horrible to wear 4 shoulder straps and 2 belts. I can't even believe someone would think this is the right way.
Also, the belt of the carrier (or any kind of backpack for that matter) has to sit ABOVE your hips. She's wearing it on her butt...
I can also assure you that the kid is absolutely secured. The strap are adjustable and I wouldn't be scared one second of him falling asleep and not balancing himself. There is no way a kid would fall off of there if strapped in correctly.
Her other point was that she could fall and then the kid would be hurt but that's the case of any carrier of any kind. Not sure what she was trying to say there. Obviously don't go rock climbing with this but don't be scared to go hiking. Unless you're pushing beyond your capabilities I don't see why you would fall.
If you want to compare with minimeis, go check out on youtube the reviews of both OE and minimeis carriers.
The channel ''Family life with the pod'' has great unbiased reviews that will explain the pros and cons of both products. (Spoiler alert, OE has none)
Really, just buy it and try it. I can't see why someone wouldn't love it unless they just don't use it.
Thanks OE for the great service and for the little details and features of the product. I'm amazed at the quality you provide.
