My first experience of a Moby Wrap Baby Carrier was when my sister-in-laws boyfriend turned up wearing one with his newborn toddler safely cradled into his breastbone. At first it was a little funny to see a 40 year old Goth (obviously dressed in black) with a multi-colored wrap breaking up his dress code. It was the first time that I experienced a baby wrap and initially wondered how they could be safe and if it would asphyxiate the baby.
Needless to say that my prejudice was ill based as the nipper did indeed get through the ordeal of oxygen starvation and zero gravity. Baby Luke continues to thrive and the Moby Wrap Baby Carrier has become an essential piece of babyware in his early months. The popularity of these baby wraps is now evident as since I became aware of them, I notice these wraps everywhere. Initially I could not understand how the baby wraps were fitted but after scrutinising my teacher mummify himself quite expertly, it became apparent that if he could do it, so could anyone including me.
The wraps are made of top quality cotton and the fabric is well configured in allowing a balance of stretch and breathability. The overall width of the fabric allows for a comfortable cradle and is of adequate dimensions so that you can actually get a couple of babies in there for the price of one. As a result of the Moby Wrap Baby Carrier fitting so close to the chest, the centre of gravity is more centralised and gives greater comfort. This is in particular of benefit to mums who may be suffering after a caesarean or if the parent has a pre-existing spinal condition.
As the Moby baby wrap is of a standard size, it can just as easily fit both men and women simply by altering the fit on assembly. This is a travel essential as the baby wraps are very light and are easily packed away when not in use. When fitted they allow a hands-free environment, meaning you are able to get your checks and credit cards out with ease. Also, there are no mechanical catches with the Moby Wrap so there is much less to 'fail' at the most inopportune time.
The baby wrap is believed safe for babies up to just about 35 pounds though you should consult the paperwork supplied with the baby carrier before using this excellent piece of equipment. The baby wraps are available in a selection of colors as well as some 'designer' styles enabling you to stand out from the gang. Also available is a 'warm' wrap for those who have had toddlers in the winter months or if you live near the Arctic Circle. This line comes with a silk inlay and with a woven fleece fabric. As well as giving additional heat for you baby, it also provides additional comfort for the parent who has drawn the short straw.
The Moby Wrap Baby Carriers can be washed in a machine( go to 30 degrees, save energy and money) and, as they do not have any additional parts or seams, there is little or nothing to go wrong except wear and tear. But honestly, how do you wear one of these wraps out? Overuse? That means you are using it regularly. As discussed earlier in this review, the Moby Baby Wraps are available in a variety of colors and there is generally at least one limited edition available for the discerning parent. I wonder if they can also be used as a hammock? Maybe not.
