If the words "machine washable" make you feel all warm and tingly, you'll love the Kelty Wallaby Soft Infant Carrier. It's plush, padded and -- best of all -- you can pop the entire carrier in the washing machine when it needs a good scrubbing.

The Wallaby Soft Infant Carrier allows a baby can be carried facing in or out, and the adjustable leg openings ensure a custom fit. We like the carrier's padded shoulder straps and the way the carrier's harness distributes a child's weight. The Wallaby carrier seems to provide a comfy ride for baby, although putting the baby in the carrier wasn't easy; we found it difficult to place the child in the carrier when the carrier was already on the parent. Instead, we had to remove the carrier from the parent and put the carrier on the infant first. With patience, we think this will become less of an issue.

The Wallaby Soft Infant Carrier also can be difficult to adjust. There are several straps, and they take some getting used to. After a time, however, the carrier becomes much easier to use and to adjust. Once we found the most comfortable position in which to wear the carrier (and adjusted the harness straps to fit), we discovered that the Wallaby Soft Infant Carrier is one of the best carriers we've worn.

Overall, we give the Wallaby Soft Infant Carrier high marks for its durability and the comfort it offers both parents and child.
