Baby Wrap

Question: For those who use a baby wrap carrier....?

(Posted by: mamma of 3 georgous children on 2009-02-10 09:44:36)

Which brand do you have/ prefer or do you make your own? if you make your own what kind of fabric do you use and where do you get it? for those who bought one why do you prefer that brand over other? I have one store bought and one homemade one, but would like one more for when those are in the wash and to have a choice of colors. I am asking because i was doing research and found SO many brands that are all different yet claim to be the best/ most comfortable. so i wanted some others imputs from those who wear them. also do you have a sling and which do you prefer your sling carrier or your wrap more? I have the ultimate baby wrap (I LOVE THIS) and one i made my self (not as stretchy so i like it for longer wearing, but my son will sit in ultimate wrap longer). i also have the infantino sling (hate this) and a homemade ring sling (undecided about this one). I was wondering why other brands are better? or what type of fabric you made yours out of? which do you prefer stretchy or not?

I bought an Infantino sling - waste of money. It looked cute, but baby was not very secure and just thumped against me like a sack of rocks. Also tried one of those baby Bjorns which some people love but I absolutely hated it and so did baby. The straps hurt my shoulders and baby 's legs were pinched and he would scream whenever I put him in it. I absolutley love, LOVE my Moby wrap. So simple, comfy and baby loved being in it. Sometimes the simplest inventions are the best. Plus hubby can wear it too without feeling like a fool - I bought the black one. Once you get used to tying it, it 's a breeze. I wear it while doing housework, at the store, going for walks,etc. Some of the best $30.00 I 've spent since having baby. Edit: The Moby wraps are made out of a stretchy cotton jersey material. Conforms to mommy (or daddy) and baby and baby never outgrows - well I guess they will get too big at some point to carry around. No sizing issues anyway.
