Too difficult to use, and not comfortable for baby!, November 22, 2009The seller of this product is wonderful, but the Maya Wrap is not for me or my little guy. I guess I am just not a fan of ring slings. I did a lot of research and read a lot of reviews and this is the first… baby carrier I decided to buy. My baby boy (4 weeks old when I received the sling) always wants to be held so I was looking forward to being able to hold him all the time and nurse him hands free. First, I am small framed and the sling kept sliding down so the ring was too low. Then when I tried one of the positions my baby either kept hitting his head on the ring or grabbing onto it. The fabric is not soft and comfortable, it is a bit rough, and the sling does not feel comfortable (for me) when on. But most importantly I don't like the fact that with all the positions except the nursing one, my baby would have to have his legs crunched up in the "frog" position - he hates his legs being confined like that! I returned it and ended up buying the Moby Wrap which I love - fabric is soft and comfortable, and my baby can have his legs out in almost all the positions. It is also much easier to figure out how to use and to get him in and out of.

Parents.com includes the Maya Wrap in its report on baby slings and carriers. Reviewer Alisa Stoudt praises the light shoulder padding and built-in pocket; she's less enthusiastic about the amount of extra fabric.
Review: Mom-Tested Baby Slings and Carriers, Alisa Stoudt
Of the three baby slings reviewed at BabyTipsOnline.com, the Maya Wrap gets top spot with a perfect score. The write-up is based solely on one wearer's experience, though, making it more like a user review than a professional one.
