Moby Wrap

I'm a pre-pregnancy size 18/20. Is the Moby Wrap just as good for plus sized moms?

Do you plan to get one or think they're overrated? Opinions wanted!

TIA

Re: Moby Wrap

  • My SIL is a big chested girl and she has one and loves it.  I got one for this time around too.  I think it should work fine.  I'm a size 14 and big chested.  I'm gonna give it a go.  DS was so colicky.  I'm hoping the next kid isn't as bad.

  • I loved mine for when DS was smaller, after a few tries of putting it on you'll be like a pro.

  • The Moby is wonderful... once you learn how to tie it well. It's just a single piece of fabric so it fits anyone in any way.

    This. I have a Baby K'Tan, but my boyfriend is getting whichever type our friends have as a hand-me-down. The Baby K'Tan is size specific, so there's no way Jared and I will be able to use the same one.

  • I don't know size wise, I bet if the site doesn't mention it you could send them an email. I loved my Moby, it was the only way to get things done when DD was little, and she was nice and secure to me so she wasn't bouncing around when I vacuumed or whatever. And she loved to nap in it. It stopped using it when she got heavy because it is pretty stretchy, so if I was to buy another one, I might get one a little firmer. I also found it on ebay with the bag and book for maybe $30. My slings are some of the best money I spent.

  • A good carrier is never overrated - I think they are a huge must have ;-)

    The moby should work well for pretty much any size and shape.  It's actually quite long to fit a range of sizes.

    I have lots of info on carriers in my siggy link if you are interested in other options.

  • In my group of friends there is a wide range of sizes from 2-22, and there are never any problems interchanging them between whoever needs it on at the time. I can't wait to get mine!
