So you don't fold over your Moby anymore w/ Lydia? I never thought of doing that. There's no way I could do a stretchy wrap w/ Milo at this point though. He's way too heavy for my front and he's such a wiggler I'm afraid I'd lose him on my back!

How did I JUST find this thread? That's crazy.

Anyways.. I made my own wrap. But I have a question. How do you guys keep from it twisting and bunching up when you put in on? I'm going to sew a panel in the front to see if that helps. Mine is a little thinner, since Trinity is so tiny and she likes to be a bit more free. I started with it wider but cut it down a bit. But it's always riding up, and can be a real pain putting it on. Is that normal?
Also, when you guys wear them to the store.. do you put it on at home and then just put baby in it when you get there? It can take a minute to get it on, atleast for me.

This is at the Detroit zoo

IDK if that is normal, but mine does that too. I have to fold mine in half width wise so I think that is part of my problem.

I put my moby on before I leave the house and just put her in it when we get to the store. It works soo much better then trying to do it in the parking lot and trying not tolet it touch the dirty ground. I'm not sure about the twisting or bunching? The mobys just pritty much stay put. I've never had a problem.

I've always put it on at home as well. I had to do it in the parking lot at the zoo. I had to have DH stand behind me and hold the ends as I wrapped it, lol

I usually put mine on before I leave the house as well, but if I need to put it on in the parking lot, I just stand next to the open door of the car with the ends of the wrap inside on the seat.  

Have any of you ladies heard of or tried the baby k'tan carrier?

I've heard of it.. but don't know anything about it, lol. Sorry I'm not much help

It's okay. The lady that I talked to said she loved it but I'm not so sure.

I was just looking at them. It really reminds me of a moby wrap.. it just doesn't go around your waist. I personally like the moby for the fact that it does go around the waist which takes some of the pressure off your shoulders. I don't like the ones that hang from you. The way the back of that one is.. with the X shape in the back seems like it would be uncomofortable to me, since it's more bunched up. But not having ever tried it.. I know I can't really say. Just from the different wraps I have tried, it's what I get from the design.

No. That's exactly what I thought. But since I've never used a moby on an infant, my son is three, I'm trying to find a wrap that works best with an infant that is breastfed. I just can't visualize how it would work in a moby or any wrap at this point.

Hi my name is Kate and my daughter loves her Moby! Whenever she fusses I put her in it and she quiets down right away.

 


Sound asleep while daddy wears her around the house
