Product Description
Be comfortable. The superior 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. It is amazingly comfortable and easy to wear. There are no buckles, snaps or other fasteners. It is easy to adjust the fit of your Moby Wrap by varying how tightly you wrap yourself… More >>
Even though it comes with instructions, it is way too complicated to use. I was hoping to use it around the house but you need to know some acrobatics and balancing skills to get the baby securely in this thing. Not to mention, it shrunk 2 feet after I washed it (following the instructions, mind you). Now I have to tighten it in the back versus the front. It’s now destined for the donation pile. The Baby Bjorn is easier to use.

I’ve been struggling getting the wrapping right on this – it’s just a really long piece of fabric and a book of instructions about the various ways to wrap it around yourself to form a sling. Sometimes the baby has adequate head support, sometimes I basically support her with my free arm to make sure her head doesn’t snap back, or to make sure she doesn’t have her chin too close to her chest. Anyway, I was just doing some work around the house and thought the baby’s head was secure, but it wasn’t, and her head snapped backwards, hard, out of the wrap. I am so upset. I hope this hasn’t done permanent damage.

This product was a huge dissapointment. I was so excited when I put it on my x-mas wishlist a month after my son was born. Tried to wear it all through x-mas dinner and unwrapping gifts, and it was terrible. The main problem is that the material is STRETCH cotton. My tiny 6lb son started out plastered to my body with the tons of fabric nearly smothering him, then slowly would slip down into a little ball and the fabric would be completely covering his head, which was obviously unsafe. It was also very warm – TOO warm. I tried just once walking outside with him in it in the middle of a Washington, D.C. winter and I was sweating.
If it were made of plain cotton it might work. Plain cotton would be more breathable, too. It’s advertised as being made of “stretch cotton” but I’m sure it actually has some polyester or other substance that gives it the stretchiness, and also makes it suffocating for mom and baby. Anyway, if it were plain cotton you may as well just buy a bolt of plain cotton from the fabric store for a lot less.
I wouldn’t recommend this product to an enemy. If it were possible, I’d give it 0 stars.

I will have to wait several weeks before the person who received this will be able to use it. I just hope it works out for her.

It was better than I expected. I purchased it for a shower gift. I have seen the product used and it is great.
