Anyone have a Moby Wrap?

[nikkiARNGwife]

I'm thinking of getting one for this baby but I don't want to spend that much on it if it's not a good sling. I had a different style with Avery and I was never really crazy about it but used it b/c I had it. This time I want one that I really like. If you've had one are they easy to use?

I bought one but, obvsiously, can't put it to use yet. LOL

FWIW, I have two friends who had babies this year who have a Moby and they raved about them. That's why I bought one.

I have a wrap that is similar, but unlike the Moby, mine is not stretchy and the fabric is woven. My is called a Vatanai, it's ridiculously expensive, but SOOOOOOOOO worth it, IMO.

I didn't get a Moby b/c several friends told me they were only good for small babies, since they stretch and don't support them well when they get heavier. I actually made my own wraps and they worked awesome. Have you checked out thebabywearer.com? They have great tutorials and reviews of lots of different kinds of wraps, slings, and carriers, and also some instructions for making your own. I'll be glad to answer any other questions you may have about making one if you'd like. HTH!

I didn't like the Moby wrap....altough I have a lot of friends that loved using theirs.

I like the Baby Bjorn better...

I have one and since I didn't have the patience to learn how to use it, it didn't get used much...but I used it when I walked in the Relay for Life carrying Peyton {11 months} and it was AWESOME..it is very sturdy for older children, you just have to learn how to use it...I wish I had learned how to use it much much sooner...

I have a Maya wrap and I like it ok, Baby Bjorn was really great, but my favorite is my Mei Tai.

I personally have only used a hotsling(front carry when Meri was a teeny baby and now hip carry for quick trips in the store) and an ergo(when I go on long hikes).
But my SIL has a moby and she loves it. I've heard they distribute the weight really well and her baby was big. Here are a few pictures of him in it(cause I think he's cute):
