I completely agree. I also have the small Alex (denim with gold accents)for Bella (who is approximately 5.5 lbs). It has worked out great for her. She doesn't move about or cry when she's in her bag. I do plan on purchasing the large Alex Luxe for extended trips, but for day to day errands I prefer smaller carriers. When I do put her in one of her larger carriers I tend to put a blanket in with her to make her feel more secure (and so she won't slide side to side as I walk).
But that is just my opinion and what works best for my little princess. Each little one has different comfort needs.
