The Beauty of Wraparound Baby Carriers

Posted on Tuesday, 15 December 2009 10:30PM by
Carrying baby in a sling or wrap is fabulous for the following reasons:
  • they promote bonding and physical contact with baby
  • are great for babies’ mental, physical and emotional development
  • research proves that carried babies cry less
  • great for soothing baby to sleep
  • they give busy parents and carers back both hands to juggle other tasks – including caring for other children.
  • they’re great for shopping, the school run or a walk in the country
  • slings distribute your baby’s weight – healthy for you and healthy for your baby
  • ALL babies insist on being carried at least some of the time and a baby sling or carrier makes carrying a joy!

We are delighted to add the award-winning original Moby Wrap to our collection, which is one of the most recognised wraparound baby carriers available.  Made from beautiful, soft stretch cotton and available in a variety of colours, the Moby Wrap is an ideal carrier for newborn and premature babies.  It’s amazing how quickly a baby will settle in the Moby Wrap and it is therefore ideally suited to newborn babies and particularly useful for premature infants requiring lots of skin-to-skin contact.
 
Experts stress the importance of holding your baby often and close and the style of the Moby Wrap ensures your baby is uniquely close, while providing ultimate comfort and support for you both.

The Moby Wrap is simply a long piece of cloth that wraps around the wearer’s body, forming a snug and secure pocket for your little one.  Don't be fooled by the simplicity of this carrier - it's comfortable, versatile, supportive and surprisingly easy to use! 
 
This affordable carrier comes with a full-colour, detailed instruction booklet and a matching carrying bag.  At 5.5 metres, one size fits most

Comfortable
The Moby Wrap is a simple piece of fabric that is wrapped over both shoulders.  The design of the Moby Wrap uses your entire back, as well as your shoulders, to carry your baby's weight.  It's amazingly comfortable and easy to wear.  There are no buckles, snaps or other fasteners.
 
Premature to Older Baby
The Moby Wrap is an optimal baby carrier for premature and newborn infants.  Parents of premature babies are often advised to practice "kangaroo care."  This skin-to-skin practice promotes weight gain and facilitates breastfeeding; bonding can be easily achieved with the Moby Wrap.
 
The Moby Wrap is also long enough to adapt to your growing baby and will provide excellent babywearing comfort and value throughout your baby's first year (Once your baby reaches 20 pounds or so, you will probably prefer a more supportive wrap such as the Moby D).
 
Versatile
There are many ways to wear your Moby Wrap as follows:
  • facing you (cradle hold or hug hold)
  • facing the world
  • on your hip
  • on your back
When not being used as a carrier, the Moby Wrap can be used as a blanket, pillow or anything else that comes to mind.  NB:  although the Moby instruction booklet shows back carries, the Moby D is recommended mostly for back carries. 
 
Machine Washable
The Moby Wrap is easy to clean.  You can machine wash your Moby Wrap in cold water and tumble dry low.  Slight shrinkage after washing may occur.  Once you start wearing your Moby Wrap again, it will stretch out.
 
MOBY WRAP - the only place your baby wants to be!
