Expert Reviews
What reviewers liked
The supportive structure of this wrap helps increase the comfort for baby as it wraps and holds them from all sides. The slight stretchiness of the fabric provides a snug but not restrictive fit providing good 360 support to little ones helping them feel secure.
The Moby feels sturdy, regardless of whether you tie it into a hip, front or back carrier. There’s very little ‘give’ and we wore the wrap for several hours without any sign of sagging.
The Moby comes in one length that can be easily shared between people of widely ranging body types and can be machine washed and dried.
The good news is that a plus-size parent or a mom with an ample bosom won't have worry about getting this to fit around their bodies. It is machine washable.
The wrap can carry in a near-unlimited number of styles and wrap configurations, making a custom and comfortable fit for you and your baby's unique needs.
The cotton knit is soft and comfy, like a thick tee, and because there is so much fabric wrapped both you and your baby, you’ll both stay toasty.
The closeness and comfort that you get with a wrap is like no other, mainly because you are literally wrapping baby to your body so you move together as one unit.
Because the fabric is so long, it fits all body sizes, which is especially great if parents take turns using the wrap. It also means you can tie the wrap snugly for the best fit.
The Moby Wrap is 5,5 meters, meaning baby is often wrapped several times with one piece of material to keep the material from hanging on the ground..
What reviewers didn't like
This carrier is one of the more difficult options to figure out, and even once you do become familiar with the different wraps, it still takes more time and energy to put it on each time.
The lack of ‘give’ can be a bit of a downside too. Because there’s very little flex to the material, you have to achieve the desired tightness when you first tie the carrier to yourself, and it is very easy to make it too tight (or too loose).
Some may find its longer length and denser fabric cumbersome and too hot to wear.
Practically speaking, you're unlikely to use it once your baby is over 20-25 pounds since the fabric begins to stretch and sag a bit with time, which is the primary detractor for this wrap, at least in comparison to the Boba.
It takes a bit of practice to tie it correctly, but once you do, you’ll be in love.
The long fabric requires a bit of practice to wrap and wear correctly—this is not a product you can wear straight out of the box—so be patient and expect it to take some time.
Moby wrap gets a little hot during the summer months. The reason for this is due to the length of the material.
