Moby Wrap UV SPF 50+ 100% Cotton Baby Carrier, Sand

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,...Read more

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

-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

Cons:
-As with any carrier, anything that comes out of the baby will probably end up on you, but this because their body is in contact with yours this is particularly important to be aware of
-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...Read more

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...Read more
