Triple-Wrap Design for Safe, Secure Carrying

Designed to keep babies happy, the Moby Wrap emulates the feeling of being carried in your arms. It wraps snugly around babies and secures them with three different sections of fabric, holding them close to the wearer's chest. This gives infants the ergonomically correct postural support that they need. When it's time for baby to sleep, one of the shoulder fabric panels can be used to support the back of baby;s head for comfort.

Shoulder Support Prevents Discomfort and Fatigue

With no straps, buckles or other fasteners, the Moby Wrap is exceptionally comfortable to wear. Unlike carriers with straps that can dig into your shoulders, the Moby Wrap envelops your entire back and both shoulders keeping you comfortable. It also evenly distributes weight across your back and hips to make it easier to carry your baby for long periods without fatigue. In addition, the wrap can be adjusted to fit nearly any body type and size.

Promotes Healthy Caretaker-Baby Relationship

The Moby Wrap helps promote a strong, close relationship between adults and babies. Its design mimics the natural way of holding a baby and permits skin-to-skin contact with your infant. The Moby Wrap features tapered ends to eliminate unnecessary fabric bulk. It also provides an effective means of soothing fussy or cranky infants: babies feel safer when they feel the warmth of your body and hear your heartbeat. With a Moby Wrap, even the busiest parents can bond with their babies and give them the care, warmth and intimacy that they deserve.

Reversible, Durable, and Easy to Clean

Moby Wraps are available in a variety of styles, including prints, solid colors, and designs. The fabric is 100 percent breathable cotton with ideal one-way stretch.

4.0 out of 5 stars Comfortable for me, son not so crazy about it January 12, 2011

By ESC

Color Name:Almond Blossom|Amazon Verified Purchase

When we first started wearing our son, my husband preferred the Baby Bjorn, but I found this much more comfortable, and my son seemed to enjoy/tolerate the Moby wrap slightly better. By the time he was three months old, though, he had a clear preference for the Baby Bjorn (especially once he could face out), and while the Moby is still much more comfortable for me, I'm using the Bjorn now because my son likes it so much better. I tried multiple positions in the Moby, including all the facing-out ones, but for now, at any rate, he prefers the Bjorn. The wrap is more confining, so I think if you have a baby who likes/doesn't mind being swaddled, the wrap may work well (we stopped attempting to swaddle our son when he was a week old).

Overall, I think this is a good product, and I have friends who prefer it to the Baby Bjorn, but be warned that the "best" baby carrier will depend mainly on the baby. The book that accompanies it has clear instructions, the wrap washes well, travels/stores easily, is attractive, is simple to use, and is very comfortable for the adult.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love it June 13, 2009

Pros:
-Securely fasten baby to body in a number of different ways
-Adjustable for different shapes and sizes of both the wearer and the baby
-Take baby anywhere easily
-Very comfortable for the wearer, and seems to be very comfortable for the baby
-Durable material (so far; I've used it over a year)
-Doesn't seem to stain, and believe me it's been tested with many colors of urp and other things.that come out of.babies
-Hasn't tangled in the dryer, either alone or as part of a whole load, which really surprises me; could be because I use dryer balls
-Baby's core will be kept warm by your body heat

Cons:
-As with any carrier, anything that comes out of the baby will probably end up on you, moreso with this becasue there's no part of the carrier between your bodies
-Again, as with any carrier, baby will be kept warm by your body heat, and you'll be kept warm by theirs - something to think about for warmer weather
-It is not a "snap-and-go" carrier; it takes a little bit more time to put on, but with practice you get used to it so this isn't a huge con in my book
-My husband flat refuses to wear it. Ever. So I am now looking into an additional conventional carrier so he gets to wear one of our kids sometimes, too

Bottom line: I love it, and am really glad I bought it. It might take you a minute to get the hang of fitting - don't give up. After a few tries I found a few methods that work great. I hear it's great for premies, though especially with little babies you want to be careful of their airway. I also have several friends who have nursed their children in them, and love having an automatic cover, though I myself have not tried this.

UPDATE: After two kids, it's still kickin and going strong, and intend to use it on the next one. I'll admit, living in the south in the summer, it didn't get used much. It is HOT and HUMID down here, and didn't want either of us to overheat. But it sure does make doing many things easier!

UPDATE: Using it again on kid #3 and loving it still. Still no stains, stretching, or other problems. And my.husband.still refuses to wear it lol. But with two toddlers on hand already it is really nice for many instances.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have for Active Moms! November 21, 2008

By Becky

I LOVE my Moby wrap! My daughter is 6 weeks old and she loves it as well. She cries whenever she is put down and will only fall asleep while being held. My husband & I disagree with the "cry it out" philosophy, so the Moby Wrap allows our daughter's needs to be met while we still have two free hands. There are several ways to tie the wrap ([...] has instructions) and, unlike some carriers, it will grow with the baby.

Winter has come early in NY, yet I can still take her out for walks or shopping. If we're heading out in the car, I put the wrap on at home (don't want the long ends dragging on the ground as I try to put it on in a parking lot). When we arrive at our destination, in the warmth of the car, I slip her into the Moby wrap, pull the fabric up over her, and wrap my coat around her. She is protected from the cold as well as germs from those who want to stroke her cute little cheeks and hands!

Although I feel like I couldn't live without my Moby Wrap, there are a few drawbacks:
1) The fabric is a thick cotton -- great for keeping mom & baby warm in cooler temps, but seems too thick for summer. At home, I keep our thermostat lower when I'm wearing my daughter because it generates quite a bit of heat.
2) As with any baby carrier, it can be difficult to maintain good posture while wearing your baby. In someone prone to back pain, this may not be the best option.

That said, I feel the Moby Wrap is a must have for active moms! It's a great way to bond with your baby, maintain a sense of freedom (& sanity!:), and help a fussy baby be content.
