I bought my first Moby Wrap when my second son hit 3 weeks and I suspected he had col9c. He only seemed happy when I held him, much like many other infants. I’ve used a Snugli, Ultimate Baby Wrap (too stretchy to feel secure), and an Infantino sling, but I had seen a baby in a Moby once before, and it had looked so comfortable for mom and baby that I knew I wanted to try it out. The bottom line is that I am a really big fan of the Moby Wrap, and I’m writing this review for parents considering purchasing one.

For those concerned about difficulty of putting the wrap on correctly, I will say that some folks, depending on their learning style, may have some trouble. Simple solution: go to youtube and check out the many demonstration videos for all the different holds.

For those concerned about the length of the wrap, you could always put the wrap on at home, then hop in the car and head to your destination. I often do this when I’m short on time or when the weather’s bad. If you tie yours in the back and would prefer not to drive around with a knot of fabric poking you in the back, just leave the last knot untied until you arrive at your destination. Additionally, the only parts that MIGHT touch the ground during the tying process are the ends, which do not touch your baby, so no worries!

So what happens if you don’t love your Moby? Gently used Moby Wraps sell on ebay and craigslist for $20 – $30! Resale value is pretty impressive compared to most baby gear, so don’t balk at the $40 price tag. It’s definitely worth every penny. I carry my son around just about eveeywhere (church, shopping, park, zoo, etc…) and I know you’ll enjoy yours, too.
