Sleepy Wrap Baby Carrier Newborn to Toddler - Hands-Free Baby Carrier Wrap - Stretchy Baby Wrap - Ergonomic Baby Wraps Carrier - Lightweight Baby Carrier Sling - Baby Body Carrier 7-35 lbs (Dark Gray)

I really like this wrap! My baby is currently 6 weeks old and we have used it daily for about a week and a half. I’m a first time mom and new to baby wearing. Here’s why I’m giving the wrap 4 stars: 1) The fabric is somewhat thick- thicker than a T-shirt and it can get hot if you wear it for a long time. I’ll have my baby in it for about two hours at a time (I wear her between feedings) and she’s hot to the touch and sometimes a little sweaty after I take her out of the wrap. It’s winter and I wear this wrap with a tank top on and my baby still gets hot. If I get cold, it’s easy to put a cardigan or light jacket on. I’m actually about to order the Solly wrap and hopefully that will keep my baby from getting so hot during baby wearing since the fabric on the Solly is apparently lighter weight. 2) The instructions included are not helpful at all, at least for newbies like myself! If you are looking to buy a baby wrap (probably from any brand), just go on YouTube and teach yourself. There’s definitely a learning curve, but once you get the hang of it, you can put the wrap on in a minute or less. From what I understand about baby wearing, there are different wrap holds depending on how old (or young) the baby is. After watching several YouTube videos from different people, the video I found to be the most helpful was from Farmhouse on Boone. The video is called Babywearing Wrap Tutorial- How to wrap a Newborn in a Moby wrap. In the video she’s using a Solly wrap, but she said she using the same technique with the Moby. This Sleepy Wrap seems to be shorter in length than most wraps on the market, but I’m still able to wrap the exact same way as she did in the video, just with less excess hanging fabric. For me, I appreciate the wrap being shorter because I’m 5’3”. I encourage anyone to keep practicing with baby wearing if you’re feeling overwhelmed with practicing. It took me a while (a couple of days in 10-15 minute increments) to get the hang of it and honestly I was too scared in the beginning to put my baby in it because I was worried I didn’t tie or twist something correctly. Just practice and trust yourself! I find that I get so much done while wearing my baby and she falls asleep in the wrap every single time...although she will cry for about 30 seconds or so before falling asleep. Just sway side to side and rub baby’s back or pat baby’s fanny and I’m sure your baby will fall asleep in the wrap too.

Id like to temporarily leave 2 stars because the one recieved had a hole in it. I did not notice until at the airport (bought this for ease while traveling) when someone pointed it out. I have to say it was seemingly serving its purpose, but for the hole. Im returning the product and fingers crossed the next one is not defective. UPDATE 3/3/19: I missed the return deadline on this item (was going to return because it came with a hole in the fabric) but I did keep using it with success. The wrap is large and fit my bigger, post pregnancy body. The fabric is soft and springy, easily washable and did not shrink in the dryer. Its a little uncomfortable at first, but then the wrap moves into place with your movement and baby fitting inside so it settles into place nicely. I use it while traveling and im impressed at how well it works on and off an airplane. Baby loves it too and is quite snug and safe. I can still use this at the 5 month mark and pop refer it to the clip-on holsters that hubs likes to use. I will say that this wrap is great for colder weather but would probably kill both momma and baby from heat exhaustion in the summer!! I updated my rating from 2 stars to 4 due to the hole, because it has not gotten bigger and does not seem to affect performance or safety. For the price and efficiency I would definitely recommend.

Satisfied

I’ve bought a few wraps and had to return them, this is my favorite. I love that it’s quick and easy to put on in a bind. Super soft and comfortable!

I bought this to carry my 4lb chihuahua on hikes, and it is so perfect! It keeps him feeling so cozy and supported, he loves it.

I bought mine for my dog. Shes elderly and cant really get out like before. It kept her warm and comfortable. She was able to hang out for an entire festival and was comfortable to sleep part of the way.

As you can see, our cat, Nellie, throughly enjoys this comforting carrier.

Im really glad I made this purchase. This item helps me get things done around the house when my fussy newborn decides shes too good for her crib or bassinet during nap time. Its relatively easy to get the hang of, too. I followed the instructions and understood what to do on my own by the 3rd time of wrapping this around myself. My only complaint = the edges of this item roll up and its incredibly annoying, so I definitely recommend adding the item to your baby registry, but maybe consider a different brand where the edges lay flat and stay flat.

Loved it but it really was only good for like 3-4 months

Love this wrap and so does my little one. It is the only wrap of this style that I have, so I cannot conpare to other brands, but I have not had a single problem with it and it is priced much more reasonably than some of the other more well known brands. This has honestly been a life saver as my little one is only 6 weeks and does NOT like to be put down. It allows me to get a few things done around my house, and is great for walking him to sleep. I am very careful to keep his head supported and make sure he has room to breathe. He snuggles right in and falls asleep almost instantly. Update: my son is now almost 4 months and i love the wrap even more. He still loves to be held and tag along with me during my day, and this makes it doable and allows my hands to be free. He still often falls asleep when in it. He has good head control now so can look at me or look around, and sits more upright than when he was tinier. At about 14 lbs, he is not too heavy and with as close to my body as he is held, it is not too hard on my back. The material has held up well so far to several washes. I will try to update again. I prefer this wrap to my more backpack style carrier with the straps. This holds him more snug, closer to my body, and is more comfortable for both him and me. Update: my son is now 9 month and just under 20lbs, and I am finding this wrap less convenient and prefer the more structured carrier. This will do in a pinch, but doesnt hold him as snug, and his weight seems to stretch the fabric and out him in a lower position which feels heavier on my shoulders and neck. I do like how compact it is, and can be left in my car for unexpected needs.
