The Moby Wrap receives solid praise from many reviewers. This baby wrap has a number of carrying positions, including one for holding two babies at once. The wrapping techniques are designed to distribute weight evenly across the caregiver's shoulders and back, making wearing this wrap comfortable for long periods of time. Many users say they experience no back pain, even when wearing this wrap for several hours. The Moby Wrap accommodates newborns up to toddlers, with a weight limit of 35 pounds.
The most common complaint about the Moby Wrap (as for almost any wrap-style baby carrier) is that it takes time to get the hang of the various wrapping techniques, and the extra fabric can make wearing it uncomfortable in warmer weather. Most reviewers say that once they've learned to use the Moby Wrap, it becomes second nature and takes little time to put on and take off. Front-style carriers, like the BabyBjorn Original (*Est. $70), are easier to put on for quick jaunts.
The best review of the Moby Wrap is at Parents.com, which reviews 15 different baby carriers, including slings, soft carriers and backpacks. This review provides detailed analyses of many different carriers, although it would be more helpful if they were ranked or rated in a comparison. Consumer review sites such as ToysRUs.com, Diapers.com, Amazon.com and Viewpoints.com provide valuable parent opinions about using the Moby Wrap. A review at BabyTipsOnline.com discusses the Moby Wrap along with two other carriers, rating each on a scale of 1 to 10. A review by a mom of triplets on the blog How Do You Do It? is helpful as well. Although this blogger only reviews carriers she's had experience with, she has tried many brands and styles and provides useful commentary.
