Moby Wrap Reviews (26) Write Review Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Shayla on Monday 11 January, 2010We love our Moby! This wrap is not complicated to use. I practiced while I was pregnant with a 10lb bag of flour. Once my little one came it was a cinch to use. I put it on in the morning and usually keep it on all day wether baby is in it or not, just to be ready. My son loves being snuggled up against me, and I have two free hands!

Within minutes she is asleep if tired. It is GREAT at the grocery store because I have both hands!

With my first I had two different types of slings that went over my shoulder and my shoulder would throb after a while - also my baby never seemed entirely happy or comfortable in them. With the Moby my baby calms down, falls asleep, and then I have both hands free to do laundry, play with my other daughter, and make dinner. I read the comments about it being warm and it can get warm, a bamboo fabric that is more breathable might help....but I just strip my son down to a onesie and pop him in. I'd rather be warm than listen to a crying baby!

At first I thought it looked confusing, but found it quite easy to use. He seemed to enjoy being in it and while it was mostly in winter when I used, we didn't get too hot. I think this wrap/kangaroo pouch style is ideal for newborns as it's more womblike and keeps them closer to your heartbeat.

Maybe if i was brave enough to walk out of the house with just the moby wrap on as a top, it'd be ok. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Christina on Tuesday 21 April, 2009 I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Moby Wrap. I got it for our second child after I wasn't completely satisfied with the baby bjorn we used with our first. I love it. my son is only 3 weeks old, so I haven't tried a lot of the holds, but he loves it. He'll snuggle in and go to sleep almost immediately, leaving my hands free to tend to a toddler or actually do a little housework. I'm really glad I bought it. Rating: [2 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Angela on Sunday 01 February, 2009 The material is very hot and not breathable at all, just wearing the wrap around the house without the baby in it makes me hot, once the baby is in it is unbearable, I can only assume my son gets even hotter than I do in this thing, he gets fussy after being in it for a short while. The wrap does hold the baby very securely and is very versatile. I really like the concept of it so I will be searching for a similar one in a more breathable fabric and weave, like a medium-weight linen.

I decided to try it out on my 18 mo boy, and even he fits in it comfortably. It's really easy to put on (even put the baby in without help), and it's very comfortable. With the wrap it distributes the babies weight evenly over your body so it doesn't strain any particular spot, such as your should or back. It's very easy to adujst the baby while they're in the wrap. I can't wait to see how it works with yoga when my daughter arrives. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Jennifer on Thursday 20 November, 2008 I own at least five carriers in total (fleece sling, babybjörn, Snugli, frame carrier). The Moby is my favorite. The little bit of extra time it takes to wrap him up on my back is totally worth it. I have a big baby, so the front carry got to be a little too cumbersome, and it would stretch and sag just a little too much to be comfortable for very long. I couldn't wait until he was ready to be carried on my back! He's finally there, and I will put him on my back anytime, it's so comfortable. I find the rucksack carry to be the best, and the length of the Moby lets me wrap it one more time around his butt to keep him extra secure. I still need to check in the mirror to make sure that he's very secure, but once we get it, he stays there, and it's great! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Jolene on Monday 03 November, 2008 Of my three carriers (Maya wrap, Baby Bjorn, and Moby) this is by far the most comfortable, supportive, and easy to use. I have back problems and this is the only wrap that holds a child securely so that the baby does not pull on you. I LOVE IT!!! It is a snap to use and can just be thrown in the washer. I can do my yoga practice carrying the baby in it. It is worth every penny and if I had more pennies I might buy a couple more to have different colors! :) Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Sharon on Saturday 06 September, 2008 Love this wrap! Sure wish I had it with my first baby. Now I'm about ready to have my 5th and I purchased this to have my hands totally free. I have an Ergo and an Over the Shoulder sling which are both great but the baby won't be big enough for the Ergo for a while and the sling always feels like it's pinning one shoulder and arm to my side which drives me nuts. Plus the neck ache, oh my gosh. I tried the Moby with my 19 mos. old on my back and it was so comfortable and she loved it too. The material is so soft! I'm sure my new guy will love it. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Laura on Wednesday 27 August, 2008 Works wonders for a FUSSY baby. My child is 5 months old and still using it. She immediately stops crying when she's in the moby wrap and will stay in it for hours. Before I had the wrap, I could not even go to the grocery store without my baby drawing everyone's attention to her loud cry (which would last hours). Now we go out to dinner, shopping, do house chores, and take walks ALL in the WRAP! I would have LOST MY MIND WITHOUT IT!!! Once you learn how to put it on, it's no problem at all. It just appears intimidating at first. My mother (whose disabled), mother in law, and other babysitters can also wear it while keeping my baby happy at the same time. She can face out and see the world while feeling close and snug at the same time. I have two other slings and carriers that hurt my neck and back after a short time. This wrap is EXTREMLY comfortable and causes no pain.
If you have a FUSSY baby, get this. Your life will change. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Claire on Friday 22 August, 2008 A great carrier, particularly for smaller and new babies. It does take a little getting used to and is hot in really warm weather and not great for putting on outdoors in rainy locations (like Seattle in the Fall, Winter & Spring). With that said, I love the Moby wrap, especially the Moby D. It provides excellent weight distribution and is a great carrier for folks with bad backs. I recommend spending a little more and getting the Moby D. I used the regular Moby with my first and by the time she was six months, the wrap stretched out a little too much while she was in it. I've been using the Moby D with my second and the panel in the middle is great b/c it doesn't stretch so the fit is true. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Angela on Friday 15 August, 2008 It's a little hard to get used to at first, but once you and your baby get the hang of it, you'll love it. Carrying the baby in a sling always hurt my shoulder, but with this wrap, the weight goes across both shoulders and your torso. The Moby wrap is more versatile than any carrier or sling. My baby always falls asleep when I put her in it, she's so comfy! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Heather on Thursday 14 August, 2008 ALL YOU NEED IS THE MOBY!!!!!!!!!!!I cannot sing the praises of the Moby loud enough. I was a babywearing Mom already but in the past used the standard snugli and backpack. I have several slings and pouches and an Ellaroo. The Mob is the BEST!! I am buying another. I LOVE it so much. Being a Doula and a very active mother, I get asked all the time if the wrap is hard to use or if my back gets tired. I NEVER get tired and it is SUPER easy to use. You have to try 5 times before you say you cannot do it. That is what I tell all the Moms I teach to use it. I also tell them that I don't even own a stroller. There is no need with the Moby. The baby is happy and your hands are free, the stroller takes up a bunch of room in the car and you have to lug it around and it doesn’t always fit where you want to go. Why would you want that? ALL YOU NEED IS THE MOBY!!! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Erin on Saturday 02 August, 2008 I had one given to me by a friend when my second child was born, at first I had my doubts, but after a little bit of practicing with the wrapping techniques it was wonderful. my newborn loved the Moby, and now that he is 5 months he still loves to be wrapped in it. I had used other types of carriers and slings with my first son, but they never were very comfy, especially after he started to weigh more.
the longest I have carried my baby in the Moby was at a trip to a museum that lasted about 4 hours, and it was still comfortable at the end. the only trouble I had was some shoulder pain, but after some adjusting and tightening were the knot had started to loosen it was as good as new.
I only wish I had it with my first son. Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Elizabeth on Thursday 26 June, 2008 I wish I'd had this from day 1. My baby was just 6 lbs and got lost in the sling. The wrap keeps her close, calms her, and best of all, gives me some freedom! Although it seems intimidating, wrapping is a snap after the first time. This product is worth every penny. It's everything claimed! Rating: [5 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Kasey on Wednesday 25 June, 2008 This thing is amazing! I love it! I have tried many other carriers and this is soooo comfortable and easy to use once you get the hang of it. My baby has grown so fast he's a very big boy weighs 20lbs at 5 months and it's still comfortable to carry him in this. It's also great when they are first born. He loved being in this! When he would get fussy I would put him in this and he'd fall right to sleep within a couple minutes. Even when he was first born The Moby always felt safe and secure. With other carriers I was so scared. They didn't feel tight enough but with this one there's no buckles or straps to mess with and it always feels secure. Love it!!! Rating: [4 of 5 Stars!] Reviewed by Lauren on Saturday 21 June, 2008 Great wrap, very comfortable. Seems confusing, after a time or two I can put it on in a snap. Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because it's kind of a pain to get out of (and forget about it if your baby's sleeping in it). I think it's easier to put on than it is to take off.

I have told everyone about this and wish I had it with my other kids. View all 26 reviews |
