These slings are made in compliance with modern safety standards, and you must be careful to read the instructions before use! Made of durable and breathable mesh with extra padding on the shoulders, the carrier is safe for babies from 7 pounds up to 45 pounds, so it'll likely be the only carrier you need.

Moby Classic Baby Wrap Carriers – Moby Wrap

Why We Like It: It’s got the look and feel of a wrap with the structure of a carrier, plus the zippered pocket in the waist belt is a perfect spot to stash essentials. As you place your wrap over your body, Solly Baby’s instructions indicate the fabric should be tight against your body. Most of the time, wraps are long pieces of fabric that tie around dad and baby, positioning the child comfortably against your chest. If I had to pick one wrap, I would go with the Solly as the fabric is amazing and so lightweight and breathable meaning you can use it all year round.This is another great new product from the Nuroo line of baby gear, which also includes some excellent swaddlers and scarves.

Choose Your MOBY Style – Moby Wrap

There’s no minimum weight requirement, and Solly Baby recommends taking baby straight from womb to wrap. When it got dirty, we machine-washed it in cold water on a gentle cycle and then hung it out to dry. Why We Like It: The entire carrier packs into the attached waistband, with room to spare for other essentials, so it’s easy to take on any summer excursion. In our testing, we didn't think this was really a "going out" type of carrier; instead, it was great for getting some skin-to-skin time in the house and around the yard without being completely naked! The Solly Baby wrap is a little bit more expensive than the Moby but this is more than likely due to the more advanced fabric used.There are shoulder straps made of loose fabric that you tighten when tying the fabric around the body.

The Original Moby Wrap

We tested the Nalakai with a 3-month-old (10 pounds) and a 10-month-old (16 pounds), and both of them seemed to find it really comfortable, and comforting to be up against mom!

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. Babywearing is extremely trendy at the moment and Solly and Moby are two of the best baby wrap around right now, with thousands of parents declaring their allegiance to the brands. Unlike most other wraps, the ErgoBaby is great as a warmer weather wrap, with its super thin, lightweight, and breathable fabric. I didn’t get it until my middle child was about 5 months but I am looking forward to wearing my newborn in it this time around.
