Review: My man is obsessed with his dad shirt. Our little guy practically lives in it lol. We are so sad hes already getting big and pretty soon too big for the dad shirt. But while they are small is a perfect way for dads to get close cuddles with their babies. And an easy way for dad to take over time with baby so both parents can get things done hands free!! 10/10 for the dad shirt definitely worth the price!! Holds great, sturdy material, washes well, fits dad perfectly, ample room for the little guy, thick and comfy. Perfect functionality! I will say only issue is adjusting the babies feet so their totally comfy gets harder the bigger thr baby gets, but its not such a hassle that we regret out purchase. We love the dad shirt!

*by S***P on 31 July 2025*

The shirt itself is way too small. It tightly fit my 9lb month and a half baby, it also has 0 neck support. While holding the baby in pouch my husband felt that it was too constricting for the baby and him and he still had to 90% support the baby. A baby carrier has been a much better option and longer use. Giving one star because I can’t give it a zero. The item was extremely difficult to return. If you return the item you have to wait for a response from the seller to approve the return. Once the return gets approved and you RETURN the item, you will still not receive your refund. They will make it extremely difficult and had to contact customer service multiple times to receive some credit back. Item sucks and seller sucks.
