This is a wonderful way to carry a baby. My daughter is a preemie, born at 29 weeks, she is now 4 pounds and loves to be held close to my chest. This wrap holds her perfectly. This is the best thing I have bought for her yet. I love it!! Although you would think it would be difficult to put on but it is quite simple and there is really nothing that compares to it. I was given a top brand front carrier as a gift but the minimum weight is 8 pounds and it does not hold a bay in a way that will prevent them from slouching and compromising their airway. The Moby is the only way to use a carrier for my tiny one and feel like she is really secure.

both my baby and I love this wrap! I love the variety of different ways it can be worn and how comfortable it is. I can't imagine life without this!

There were so many raves about the Moby, and this design was so cute, and I liked that there is spandex with the cotton ...

But we've found that it's complicated to get it on and keep it on, and it's HOT!

The instructions and method are clear enough, but the place I most often want to put this on is in a parking lot and it's a mess to keep the edges facing the right way, and to keep the tails out of the mud.

Then I put little one in it, and he gets hot in nothing flat. He hates to let me slip the one side over to steady his head, the way you should with a newborn, because he gets too warm -- and having to steady his head with my hand defeats the purpose. Even in highly air conditioned grocery stores with very little clothes on him (and a cotton diaper, with all-breathable-fabric diaper cover), and light clothes on me ...

Wanting to take him from car seat to carrier when I'm out and about is just not working. I have to dress him warmly to be out, then somehow strip him down to try to stay cool in the Moby. And, I can't take him out of the wrap, get in the car, drive to the next store, and put him back in -- it must be completely re-tied.

It has to be re-tied often, in fact. If I put it on loosely, it takes very little time to loosen up such that he slips into a dangerous position for a newborn. If I put it on snugly, the whole thing rides up while I wear it and he slides down and my clothes end up all over the place.

I can see this being useful at home, if there's a way to keep your baby at a comfortable temperature. I'm an avid "Attachment Parenting" mom and big believer in baby wearing, but the Moby just is not working for us.
