Summary: Waste of money 2010-03-11
Comment: I recently bought this item thinking it would be ideal for my 2 month old daughter. It was a complete waste of money. I actually threw it in the trash at an airport because I was tired of it.
It's impossible to manage unless you're at home putting it on. In public it just rolls on the floor while you put it on, picking up all sorts of dirt and germs. You can't wrap it on when it's just you and your little one unless you have somewhere to put the baby. When it arrived, I practiced putting it on and tried the different styles. My daughter was okay with being in it but certainly didn't love it. I kept putting her in it at home to get used to it. She never did.
Also, it does not fit in a diaper bag. Forget trying to get it back in the little bag it comes in! You can't wear it through airport security, so you have to wait to put it on. It makes breastfeeding more difficult because it takes up your entire chest. (The breastfeeding hold doesn't make it easier.) It's so big and thick that it makes you hot.
You'd be better off buying another sling/carrier that is smaller. I wish I'd never bought one.

Summary: Great versatile carrier that's easy on your back! 2010-03-10
Comment: I purchased this after my traditional carrier was starting to hurt my back. It took a few practice tries to get the hang of putting it on but it was not too complicated. The wrap is great as both my husband and myself can use it without having to adjust it every time, like a traditional carrier. I only wish we would have had this right from when she was born.

Summary: overwhelmed by fabric! 2010-03-10
Comment: I purchased this sling based on all of the great reviews. It may be a great sling but I am not a fan based on the amount of fabric and the time it takes just to get the sling on. There is SO much fabric it was so cumbersome to get on, not to mention to try and carry around or put on quickly away from home.

Summary: A baby carrier you will actually use 2010-03-05
Comment: The Moby Wrap is one of my family's favorite baby products. Our newborn daughter (our second child) loves it--she falls asleep in the hug hold or cradle hold 7 times out of 10. Tying the Moby is an art not a science. Like all arts, it has to be perfected. We still flub it up on occasion but we expect that. We also have an Ergo baby carrier that we bought before our daughter was born. We thought we could use it for a newborn but discovered that it was not ideal for our newborn (not enough head support and no place for her legs in the upright hold--the only hold she liked for the first several weeks of her life). So we bought a Moby Wrap (in slate--a beautiful color) to use until she can comfortably use the Ergo.
Unfortunately, we didn't have the Moby Wrap for our son (our first child). We instead had a generic ring sling and a Baby Bjorn. Both products were extremely disappointing. If I were advising parents-to-be, I would say the only carrier you need to start out with is the Moby Wrap. If you can master the tying (YouTube has several very good clips), it should serve you well for a long time. And then later if you find that the stretchy material that was so great for creating a comfy nook for your 7.5lb newborn is now too droopy with a 22lb toddler, at that point buy the Ergo.
