We loved our Moby!
I used the Moby with both of my children and it always calmed them down and let me get housework done at the same time. They do get a little hot, so I suggest wearing it with a tank top no matter what the temperature is!
A must have for any new Mom on the move
I LOVE my Moby wrap!! We had traditional carriers and they put so much strain on my back within five minutes of wearing baby. With the Moby wrap I can carry for an hour and not feel any stress on my back. Not only is it more comfortable for you, baby stays so much cooler than traditional carrier that has foam padding. There are several holds available with this carrier, some allowing breastfeeding with ease. I plan on purchasing another soon so to have one when the other is in the laundry. I will note that this carrier does require a little more time to put on but it is totally worth it.
After trying many baby carriers I finally discovered the moby baby wrap. It was recommended during a play group that I took my daughter to. They can be a bit pricey but I was happy to find a gently used on online. I especially liked it when my daughters were newborns. Being able to be hands free but still have your newborn close to you is so helpful. There are many different ways you can wear your baby using the moby carrier. It can look a bit intimidating when you see the long fabric but there are lots of youtube videos with instructions on all of the different ways to use it. It took me a few times to practice getting it on and now I can get it on no problem. It also comes in many different colours.
I found the Moby Baby Wrap worked well for me and my son. My son loved to be held an cuddled and this wrap gave me the ability to do so but with support and hands free. It was also great for breastfeeding especially when out and about. Small and lightweight so easy to throw in the diaper bag. Wrapping at first was a bit tricky for me to get the hang of but after practice it became second nature and was easy to use. Instructions were good and I found a video on their website to watch which made it easier! Available in a variety of nice colours, good quality material. I would recommend this baby wrap!
Absolutely love it. With my first daughter I used this wrap until she was 18 months old. This time around I have been using it since day one and my one month old baby girl loves it. It easily calms her down and is perfect for breast-feeding. I wish it was easier to put together sometimes I have to rush and wrap it all while she cries. Over all it is a great wrap and fits all sizes.
This is light weight and easy to carry around in a diaper bag, it is easy to use once you have the hang of it, but I didn't find it felt very supportive while baby was in it. The material felt kind of flimsy and stretchy. It did it's job, but I would buy a different wrap knowing what I do now.
I bought one of these with my daughter and didn't use it for both my sons and it made a huge difference since my daughter was more clingy and needed mommy more i could keep her snuggled close to me while i could still get things done around the house and still be very involved with my boys.. The price is expensive but the quality is even better and makes the price worth it. This product kept my baby close to me but feel very secured , it looks crazy when you take it out of the package and think how am i going to put my baby in this.. they give you simple instructions in different ways to baby wear
This wrap is so fantastic if you have a very hands on baby. I was able to have my newborn close to me and keep her calm while still being able go help out my toddler and do things around the house. A must have for new moms, especially with fussy babies.
This was great when my daughter was small. We used it until she was around 5 months old. She loved being in it. I liked taking her for walks in it over the stroller because when was small the stroller shook too much going over the gravel walking trails we liked to go on
Some good...well, lots of good. Some bad.
The Moby wrap takes some finessing - you have to practice the wrap techniques and even after doing it several times sometimes you've still gotta work on getting the adjustments right for comfort.
I find after a while, despite a good wrap, my mid-back sometimes starts to ache.
This is an AWESOME product for infants, and I suspect when the time comes for side-carrying support it'll be good again. For a wiggly, independent-minded 5 month old, however, it's proving an awkward way to carrying the kid around. I also find that by two or three months (depending on the size of your baby), to wear them tightly enough, they're jammed up under your chin and creating a blind spot ahead of you as well.
It's pretty comfortable as far as there's nothing to dig into you, and when you get it right, the wrap fits like a second skin.
Wrapping in public is difficult though because the wrap is sooooo long - the tail ends drag in places you don't want it to drag, so if you're going out for the day, you have to wrap before you leave and then hope you don't have to unwrap.
Some people swear these are the way to go for breastfeeding while wearing baby, but I haven't managed to figure out how that could possibly be done.
It's pretty good value for money, and I'm glad, as a first time Mom, that I have this experience in baby-wearing. If I could find some other ways to try affordably, I'd be interested in doing so.
