I'm a bit of a wrap fanatic...I was lent a Kari Me when my daughter was only a few weeks old and about 6lb. She was very snug in it but I found I had to retie it each time she came in and out of it, which was a bit awkward.

I then borrowed a Hug-a-Bub, which I then ended up buying when my girl was about 3 months old. This was less stretchy, the fabric was less wide, and overall more supportive.

However, I found this started to "pull" on my shoulders when my daughter reached about 16lb, and so I moved onto a Sleepy Wrap. I wish I'd known about it from the beginning, as it's the perfect wrap for me! I don't have to keep retying it, it's stretchier, softer and doesn't pull on my shoulders. Not only that it's a little less expensive than the other 2 I've mentioned and comes in more colours.

My baby is now 9 months and although I have other types of carriers, the wrap is definitely the most comfy for both of us. There is a learning curve involved in tying it, but once you've got there, it's not tricky at all! And that's from someone who was probably the last little girl on the playground unable to tie her laces :-)

Bit tricky until you get the hang of how to tie it. Will fit both DH and me and it is made from nice plain fabric so DH doesn't feel he looks daft wearing it. Definitely the most comfortable and supportive sling I own, particularly good for longer periods of wear. Launders well.

Lovely comfortable material stretchy enough to ensure a close fit without bagging.

Very long in length and can be combersome to put on and take off, have stood on mine several times. The long length does mean it fits tall and large people.

Excellent product almost identical to the Kari-me but cheaper. The fabric is just a little less stretchy which is better because my friend has a Kari-me and finds that it gets stretchier when washed.
