Moby Wrap Carriers are GREAT for newborn babes upto around 6 months, although the Moby D would take your babe through to the toddler stage (extra cotton panel gives additional support).

The thought of 'wrapping' was a little daunting at first but after a couple of sessions practicing with a teddy, I felt like a pro - wrap, pop babe in and you're off!! Really easy to adjust for breastfeeding and like wearing your favourite t-shirt with the added bonus of a cuddly little bundle wrapped up snugly inside. Honestly can't think of a better place for baby during the first few months. Try it!!

I got this sling after trying out the Baby Bjorn, a Mamas and Papas front pack and a should/hip sling. I have lower back problems and when stressed I get a tightness in my shoulders so all the other structured slings were so uncomfortable and gave me "pressure points". The Moby is so comfy, I can position the sling and adjust it to my needs. My baby LOVES the sling, we use 3 of the many positions and I think this sling is incredible value for money.

Bought this after giving up on the much rated papoozle, and have to say I love this and think it is so much better than the papoozle.

The instructions are really clear, there are lots of positions to try and it is very comfortable.

I liked the fact there were lots of colour options and the price is so much more reasonable than other slings. Would definitely recommend this wrap, even for beginners like myself.

I bought my Moby Wrap when my little boy was a few weeks old and I absolutely love it. I have used it constantly and love the versatility of it. Even though my son is now 1 I am still able to carry him for long periods of time and having mastered some of the other wraps to carry him on my back or hip I think that I shall continue to use the wrap for a while yet. My son nearly always falls asleep in it and everyone always comments on how comfortable he looks. A definite must buy.

I bought this wrap when my son was 2 months - only wish I'd known about it sooner! It is fantastic - very comfortable even now he's a 5-month / 17lb chubster. It's ideal for popping him in and out of the car as you don't need to take it off when you take him out, so you can just wrap it once at home before you go out. It takes a couple of practices to wear it but then becomes very easy to do. If you are taking baby in /out a lot, you will need to tighten it occasionally as it is slightly stretchy, but this is not a problem - just undo the knot and pull it tighter, then tie it again (when baby is out of course!).

I have had back / neck problems in the past, which is why I went for this style of wrap over a shoulder one, and I can honestly say it has never given me any trouble. I am also quite short (5'1") and find he is able to sit in a really comfy position, not too low and not too high up. I have worn it on cross-country walks for over a hour as well with no ill effects.

Son loves it - he falls and stays asleep really easily, and loves facing forwards in it now he is bigger to look out on the world. We get lots of attention from the other mums (and children) at school too!

Given that I use this at least twice-a-day every school day, I think it is tremendous value for money. It also washes well, and despite being thick it dries quickly too - must be because it is cotton.

I envisage using this for quite some time yet. Colour range is good - I have the indigo blue which is really lovely.

All in all - this is a fantastic wrap which I am recommending to anyone who asks!
