Product Information

It works great for the spring, fall, and winter, though we thought it would be a bit heavy for hot summer days. So it's a little complicated to hold your baby while wrapping it up, but no more so than any other type of wrap - plus there's no tying or knotting, so that's definitely a bonus!

We had to adjust the wrap just a little bit to not double around at the end for him, but we still were able to get the same secure wrapover,” she says. There are many benefits of wearing your baby as a newborn, including close physical contact leading to increased oxytocin levels in mom, which can both improve breastfeeding and the parental bond, as well as lead to decreased reflux and fussiness in baby,” Dr.Of course, you will also want the baby wrap to meet your budget constraints and look fantastic on your body! Whether you’re petite or plus-sized, this one-size design is suitable for all sizes and body shapes, making the Izmi a practical choice for parents who want to share in the babywearing.

While some of the buckles require you to squeeze and lift simultaneously for safety reasons, the majority of the adjustments can be done quickly and easily, even one-handed. Given its length, it's also great for larger and plus-size moms who are looking for a wrap that won't run out of fabric mid-wrap! It’s just as elastic as other Boba wraps, but what distinguishes it is the organic material – it’s airy, feel super soft and it’s a safer for baby’s sensitive skin (and our planet). Made from 100% breathable cotton, it also folds down relatively flat, ideal for stashing in your bag and bringing out as and when required. Bear in mind that the fabric trails the ground when putting the wrap on and taking it off – unavoidable with five metres of material to grapple with.

An upgrade from our parent-tested Ergobaby All Position 360, the Omni 360 is suitable from birth without requiring a newborn insert. Unlike the Ergobaby Omni 360, there’s no built-in lumbar support on the Boba X, so whilst the padded straps can be crossed for additional comfort, it may be better suited to short-term trips than all-day rural or urban adventures, particularly with heavier babies. The Solly wraps can be used from newborn up to about 25 pounds, which means they'll probably last you for about the first year of life.

They come in different types, from baby wraps and slings to soft-structured carriers with buckles and ties. While five metres of fabric can appear daunting out of the box, many wearers find that they quickly get to grips with the art of wrapping. Crafted from a buttery soft French Terry fabric blend, it allows you to carry your little one hands-free while also providing breastfeeding privacy.

Whether this is your first time babywearing or you live with a baby strapped to you, we guarantee you'll find tons of helpful information over at our blog! And I can wear it under my coat while driving and it’s already all warm and snuggly when I get baby out in the winter months! Some wearers won’t like the sensation of being surrounded by so much material, no matter how soft it is, and they may find even the lightweight Boba a bit warm. Creating a natural frog-legged seating position, it offers good hip and spine alignment with padded leg openings to ensure the material doesn’t dig in or leave marks on their thighs. It also follows the TICKS guidelines - ensuring a tight fit with your baby in full view, close enough to kiss, chin off their chest and with adequate support for their back.

The babies were wrapped snug-as-a-bug and the wrap worked wonderfully to support them - one slept like never before against her mom's tank-topped chest! So it can be a struggle to prevent the wrap from getting wet or muddy if you're putting it on outdoors. Another version of Boba is the Serenity which is made from: 68% bamboo viscose, 25% cotton and 7% spandex. I have the keababies wrap and have been using it for a month and a half now; so far not showing signs of wear and tear (the fabric is on the thin side and lightweight, so I've been paying attention to whether or not it starts fraying).We tested the wrap on two different babies (3 months and 6 months), and both really loved it; the first couple of times we put the baby in, it was a bit difficult with our wiggly baby, but once she was in she fell asleep within 5 minutes and was there for over an hour! The wrap is designed to support infants as small as 7 pounds, all the way up to 25 pounds; after that point, you'll want to switch to a soft-structured carrier. Coming in at over 200 inches long, this is a great baby wrap for plus-size parents who find other wraps to be a bit too short to effectively wrap. There is no need to tie the wrap loosely or leave space for the baby as the elasticity of the wrap will provide a snug fit! We spoke to three What to Expect staff members who have five children between them and have tested some of the baby wraps on this list, in addition to my own experience using a baby wrap with my two children.
