I purchased this after being very happy with the quality of my other Mountain Buggy products.

It is fairly good value for money considering the infant insert is included. I loved the design of Juno and loved some of the extra features such as the 'hand-through' pocket at the front where you can cradle your child too. I have personally used this carrier in the back carry mode, parent facing and outward facing. One of the reasons I purchased this carrier was that it had one of the highest weight limits of the carriers I researched. It is very soft, thick and breathable but it could become hot if you lived in a warm climate. Having said that, traveled through SE Asia with this carrier with no issue. There is also a handy pocket down the front where you can actually pop a soft ice pack in if necessary.

I loved the hood and found it to be very handy for naps, rain etc (although not waterproof). I found the straps very easy to adjust by myself; this is useful if switching with a partner or even if you are carrying different size/age children.

I used this religiously with my first-born and this is probably the best carrier I own for the back carry position. It is a great carrier for older babies and toddlers as the torso bit is long. The magnetic shoulder closure feels like a bit of a novelty at first but it is very secure. Most of the belt is padded too which provides great hip support and has two small pockets. The overall look is very nice too; very sleek and 'unisex' without too any extraneous straps.

I loved that the infant insert was included too as some other leading brands require you to purchase it separately.

Some points to note:
- infant insert can be a bit finicky and thus off-putting to use especially if you are a first-time parent
- could do with a little extra padding in the belt at the back
- might not be suitable for warm climates

I was given one of these second hand by my friend because she didn't know I already had a carrier. I used it one day when I could find my Ergo and it was so complicated. Not only that but bub sat so uncomfortably in it. I didn't last long with this before I decided just to carry my baby instead.
