I tried other carriers and could not even figure out how to put them on. This design is sleek, simple and stylish. The price at Overstock is $30 less than all other retailers. Making it an excellent bargain as well. The sky color is a grey blue not a baby blue. But I think it will not show dirt as easily. I also love that it doesn't have a lot of extra padding so you can place it in your diaper bag or purse and take it with.
