Average customer review:Product Description
Moby Wrap Baby Carriers are amazingly comfortable and easy to wear! The design of the Moby Wrap uses your entire back, as well as your shoulders, to carry the weight of your baby. Unlike other carriers, which have narrow straps or go across one shoulder, the Moby Wrap is a wide piece of fabric that is wrapped over both shoulders and tied on your waist. There are no buckles, snaps or other fasteners which make wearing simple. The Moby Wrap is long enough to fit all sizes of baby wearers and babies - preemie to 35 lbs. Instructional Booklet Included.

Customer Reviews
BEST baby item!
I have this, and another wrap from a different company and I have to say that they were the best things I've gotten for my new baby. I wish I would have gotten one when my first child was born. I love that my baby's weight is distributed evenly so that even after walking around a zoo for HOURS I was not hurting, even just 4 weeks after a c-section!
I also have to say that the shipping from this seller specifically was amazingly fast! I had my order in TWO days. I was thrilled!
There are only two "cons" that I can see and one is the price, fourty dollars for what is basically a long piece of fabric is pretty steep. If you know how to sew, find out the dimensions, get some fabric and make one yourself for about 75% less money.
The other is that living in a very warm climate, the fabric that the Moby wrap is made from is a little thick for comfort. The other wrap that I have (wrap n wear) is made from crinkle cotton and it's much lighter and more comfortable in the heat.
Highly recommended
The Moby Wrap was recommended to me by my friend with four kids, so I bought one for myself when our daughter was born. This purchase was a gift for a friend with a new baby.
For me, the best quality is that it distributes the baby's weight over a greater area, causing less strain on my neck and shoulders. I am tall with a very small frame, so carrying her in my arms for more than a few minutes is painful, and she was only 6 lbs 2 oz. The Moby is also better for small babies vs a sling or front carrier -- I never worry about her neck support in the Moby.
Our baby is very active, so she is not always in the mood to be so constrained. I improvise by placing her more upright and allowing her legs and above her shoulders to be out of the wrap, but then it isn't really hands-free since she can't fully support her head yet. It is still very helpful, though, since it still distributes the weight and leaves me with one hand free.
The price seemed kind of high before I received it, for "just a long piece of fabric." But there is a LOT of fabric, and it is nice quality. Althought I use a sling and front carrier for some activities, I think the Moby is a must.
Love my baby wrap
I'm a mother of four and I have tried many other baby carriers with my other children. My newest addition is only 5 weeks old and he LOVES when I carry him in the Moby wrap. It is not as hard as it looks to wrap on you, with just a few short trys I had it down pat. All the other baby carriers that I tried were either not as secure or my back was sore from carrying the child after just a short while. Plus, I was able to carry my infant at just 1 week old and he LOVED being snuggled so close to my body (all while my hands were free to tame the other children!). I love the wrap and if would highly reccomend it to my friends. Also, if you can't understand how to wrap it on you just using the handbook, go online and look for some videos to help...that's what I did to make sure I was doing it correctly.
