Lalabu The Dad Shirt | Hands-Free Baby Carrier for Dad with Kangaroo Pouch | Engineered for Bonding, Safety, & Comfort for Newborns Up to 15 Lbs. | CPSC Approved, Short Sleeve - Black, X-Large

I normally wear a Large, sometimes XL for a more loose fit. I'm 6'4" 220lbs. The XL is snug on me. Has plenty of length though! My newborn is currently 9lbs and some odd ounces and he loves chilling with dad in the pouch! He usually falls right asleep. While this shirt gives me the chance to be hands-free, I often feel I need to support him with at least one hand for his neck or just on his rump. I'm pretty sure the product recommends that anyway. Can be a little tricky at first figuring out how to safely get him in the pouch. I like when my wife's there to help spot or hold the pouch open, while I raise him above my head to get the feet in safely, but I can do it myself if needed. The material of the shirt has that sporty moisture wicking to it, which is good because it's hot wearing it in the summer. Probably more to do with a little furnace strapped to your chest, but also because there's extra material for the pouch and it's thicker than your average shirt. Overall though it is comfortable to the skin. Don't be surprised if it feels like you're being squeezed while wearing it. It does have some stretch to it. That's probably the inner stitchings or elastic that helps keep your baby snug. People are able to tell that this is a dad shirt even if the baby's not inside with you. But it does have a couple of magnetic buttons to help keep the pouch closed when not in use. Overall the price is hefty for a shirt you'll wear temporarily. I have not tried the cheaper knock offs I can vouch for this shirt being well worth the investment for when you're out and about and you want to get the baby out of the car seat or your baby needs to be held and you still want to get things done around the house.

I was nervous buying this for my husband because I didn't know if would be durable and if it would fit because other reviews said it ran small. He loves it though! Definitely purchase one size up. It is a tight fit, and I think it is supposed to be somewhat tight. The shirt has a layer underneath with an elastic band for more support. The material seems strong, especially the pouch material. We haven't had our baby yet, so can't say for sure how it works. But we used a stuffed hedgehog to practice and that worked great lol!

I like the idea of this shirt for my husband for our baby when she was brand new. But she did not like being in it. I’m not sure if she was comfy in it. Would probably not buy again. But will try again if we have another baby and see if they like it

Works but size of your baby definitely matters. Did not last long. My husband didn’t use it much because the way my baby fit. She started off preemie size but even as she got bigger it wasn’t ideal.

My hubby wanted this shirt but once we got it we quickly realized that he can’t use it for a long time. This shirt is pretty much only good during the newborn stage. And for the price.. I would have preferred to spend the money on an actual baby carrier. Don’t get me wrong, this is an amazing product but I wouldn’t justify the price for the amount of use you’re getting out of it.
