Moby Wrap Baby Carrier

Moby Wrap Carrier Review

This is my favorite baby carrier right now. The Moby Wrap is also a customer favorite. Nearly every time I allow a new mom to try a Moby Wrap, they order one.

The Moby Wrap is a deceptively simple concept: a really long narrow piece of stretchy knit fabric. With a simple criss cross pattern you can loop the carrier on in just a few seconds. Then settle your little on in close to you in one of several positions, and off you go.

The biggest appeal in the Moby Wrap is that it is so comfortable. There are no stress or pressure points and the baby's weight is distributed evenly across your back, sides and waist. Women with back problems or who have recently had a C section are the most thrilled with how easy it is to use a Moby Wrap.

Moby Wraps are made with organic cotton knit, so they are soft and durable. You will know exactly what is touching your baby's skin.

Moby Wrap baby carriers are also available with a decorative front panel. These Moby D carriers are more than just pretty, the front panels serve different purposes depending on the type of fabric. Fleece panels add warmth, of course, but did you know that woven or silk panels add support as well as style?
