Baby Products Reviews of The Ultimate Baby Wrap in Navy
Customer Review: tried them all-this is the best!
Summary: 5 Stars
I felt compelled to write because of the reviews I read before buying this wrap. I was almost turned off by the moms who said this was so difficult to put on. Well, don't let those comments deter you! I just bought it tonight and it took about 5 minutes to get on. I've had it for a couple of hours and my one month old baby has been nursing/sleeping in it the whole time. I'm a mother of 3, and like one of the other moms who wrote, I've tried every type of carrier. The others aren't bad, but this is by far the most comfortable and versatile. It's really great if you're nursing-much better than a traditional sling. It's also the only one that allows you to sit comfortably (like I'm doing now). TRUST ME, it is not hard to master. I can't imagine needing a video to figure it out. So glad I ignored the more negative comments. As far as wear and tear, I'd rather buy one of these every month than one of the $80 carriers.Customer Review: Comfy & secure - but it gets filthy
Summary: 4 Stars
At first, I loved this carrier. It feels very secure & comfortable for the baby & you. I had struggled with back pain using the Bjorn & my baby just kept getting heavier. (She's now 19 lbs at 5 1/2 months.) Since this distributes the weight over my hips and back, it's much more comfortable. It's very versatile, too - also unlike the Bjorn. I like being able to carry her on my hip. The only thing is that it is basically just an extremely long scarf of t-shirt fabric. While it's easy to put on at home, it's not something you want to try to mess with in a parking lot because there is just no way it's not going to drag on the ground while you get into it. (Especially if you're 5'1", like me!) Plus, the fabric attracts particles, so watch out for pet hair! I actually got mine in black from another web site, but I'd recommend the heather gray, instead of either the navy or black. The pet hair & fine debris just shows too much!Customer Review: What a disappointment
Summary: 1 Stars
I paid extra shipping to receive this item. I couldn't wait for it's arrival - even after reading some reviews that it was cumbersome. I didn't measure, but imagine approximately 20 feet of material that you must wrap around your body. That is what you must do to use this item. Is it "difficult"? No. But it is quite a pain. What's worse is that because it is stretchy material, it stretches the longer you wear it. I do not trust it to support my baby -- and there is definitely no head support for little ones when inward facing. The sling causes other issues. Once it's tight enough to hold baby somewhere *above* your waist, there's no room for baby to be comfortable.
This item freed up one hand -- at best. I could have managed the cumbersome "application," but the end result isn't even satisfactory. I am very disappointed in this product -- no wonder I couldn't find it in stores.
Customer Review: Not that impressed....
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this wrap based on the praise it received. But I think it is way too expensive for what it is. It is also time consuming and cumbersome to put on. You do get the hang of it but it still takes time to get it just right and drags the floor in the process. Also my 18 month old didn't seem that safe in it. I felt like he was about to fall out all the time. And I wondered if the bunched material under his butt and back hurt him. It pulls up on your shirt so make sure you wear a long one! And it left black looking fuzz all over my hands and clothes every time I touched it. I washed it several times and even lint rolled it and it still didn't help. It's also made of a thick t-shirt like material and made me and my son hot. The only thing about it I liked was that it didn't hurt my back or neck like other baby carriers.
I am still on the search for the perfect baby carrier...
Customer Review: Simply Awesome!
Summary: 5 Stars
I've never written a review before, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity this time. I received my Ultimate Baby Wrap today...I love it and my 9 week old son loves it already! The instructions were a snap and I had the wrap on and my son in it within seconds! He fell asleep after 5 minutes and stayed that way for an hour while I was able to get some long overdue laundry folding done. I love that this will accommodate him when he gets bigger. One of the key features I am looking forward to is the hip carry. This will also come in handy when we go on long day trips with my 3 year old. I have a Sit n Stand Stroller and sometimes my 3 year old wants to nap...there is no place for her to do so if my infant is occupying the front seat. Because the Ultimate Baby Wrap fits nicely in my diaper bag, I can carry my son and let my daughter nap.
Great product...highly recommended!
