Baby Products Reviews of Moby Wrap UV SPF 50+ 100% Cotton Baby Carrier, Sand
Customer Review: Cannot LIVE without my Moby.
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband and I agreed: if we had to choose one item that we really couldn't do without since having our baby 2 months ago, it's our Moby wrap!
Our first week home from the hospital, we were able to go out to lunch with the baby wrapped up and completely covered in the Moby. It's given us a sense of freedom that we never thought we could have once she was born, because we can comfortably take her anywhere that we want to go. I can't count how many times I've gone out to eat or shopping with her wrapped up on me!
It might be because she's so used to it now, but it's so comfortable for her, she falls asleep almost immediately once she's in it. And, perhaps even more importantly, my husband and I can both wear her in it for hours on end without any back pain. I use it at least once a day, just around the house, when she's getting overtired or overstimulated... She fights me for a second, and then falls right to sleep.
It's easy to use once you've done it a couple of times... Getting the feel for the perfect tightness takes about a week of using it. Once you figure out that sweet spot, though... It's just perfect.
We also have an Ergo carrier with an infant insert, and even though the Ergo might be a little more sturdy for walking long distances, our baby really doesn't like it nearly as much, and it's really not as comfortable as the Moby.
Customer Review: comfortable, easy to use
Summary: 5 Stars
Review:
It was easy to use. The video from the website helped the most, but the instructions were easy to use. It' looks really complicated, but after doing it once in front of the instructions and once without the instructions, I never looked at them again.
It was comfortable. With miles of walking around all day, my back didn't hurt. The only time I had to readjust and tighten is after the 6th hour of carrying him through the zoo and museum, but I did so easily.
Also notable: If baby leaks, you get wet. It's really hard to use a public rest room alone. If you drink or eat, baby can reach it. The baby stays really warm against you and under your coat if needed. This may not be a good thing in the summer, but it was great in the winter.
As a heavy set child-rearing grandmother, I was worried about my 41-year old back while carrying around a 25lb 7-month old. We were going to NYC with a 19-month old and a 7-month old. Dbl strollers don't mix with the subway system so I bought an umbrella stroller and this Moby wrap. It worked through the miles of walking and kept him warm against me in the cold. We went through museums, zoos, shopping, subways, restaurants, etc. I wish I would have bought this a LOT sooner.
Customer Review: BEST Baby Carrier
Summary: 5 Stars
We had a trip to England with our 2 youngs children (5-months and 20-months). We took a McLaren stroller for the older child and this for the youngest. My wife loved this - it supported her back well, felt comfortable, and allowed her a full range of motion (climbed the 100 steps in Whitby with no problems). It was cold when we were there, and the extra body heat from mom-to-baby was great. There are NO metal clasps on this, so she could "wear" the baby straight through the metal detectors at the airports and security checkpoints at the palace, etc.
I won't lie - men shouldn't wear this. Men look dumb wearing any baby carrier, and this is no exception. Please, please, please - wives of the world, just let your husband carry the baby. It might be easier to wear this, but it is not worth the embarasment!
Regardless, this is the BEST carrier/sling/etc available. We've bought just about every one of them out there - front loaders, back packs, slings. None are even comparable.
Customer Review: the best baby carrier ever
Summary: 5 Stars
The BEST baby carrier ever.
I wear my Moby everywhere. When my daughter was an infant I could shop while she took her whole nap on me. Being so close to my body, and kept warm and secure also helped her nap for a continuous amount of time. She then grew to want to be turned around, so front facing was a fun time too. She would hold things for me while cooking. She would point and sign "what that?" and it would make for some great teachable moments. If I was holding her on my hip I could only use one hand. The Moby made it possible for me to do laundry at the laundromat with no worries.
We never had a removable car seat (I feel weird carrying around my child as a piece of luggage), so during the winter I would put my Moby on under my coat then slip her in, and she was warmer then trying to cover her with enough blankets to be warm in a car seat!
All in all, the Moby is a MUST HAVE for active moms.
Customer Review: Best baby carrier EVER...from experienced mom of 3
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a Moby D, but I bought this one for my mom. I have tried several carriers and the Mobys are the best for several reasons. 1) they are the most comfortable for mom AND baby. 2) they put other carriers to shame because Moby can hold baby in any position while other carriers are limited to two positions at best. 3) it is ergonomic, meaning it is good for mom's body by using the entire back and hips and shoulders to support baby's weight 4) easy to clean! Throw it in the washer and dryer and go! 5) it looks great! I wear it without a shirt underneith and no one can even tell. 6) you can use it for nursing, but it requires either smallish [...] of some finesse 7) the sun blocking quality of this particular wrap makes it a real must-have. 8) you can wear it all day.
I plan to buy several in different colors...and at the bargain price that they sell for, its well worth the investment!
