To get a moby wrap or not?

Jeberg · September 2012

I don't know it looks so complicated, and I'm not sure if I should spend the money on it or not. Other mommas who have one do you prefer it over a backpack? And are they as complicated as they look?

I have a Moby and LOVE it!! My son has reflux issues so it's nice to be able to hold him in an upright position per doctors orders : I didn't find it hard to wrap at all there's YouTube videos that show how to use it.

I like my moby, but I know a lot of women who have a hard time with the moby love the k'tan. So if you're intimidated by the wrapping, try the k'tan

Love my Moby. It does seem complicated but is really easy after you do it a couple times. DS1 loved being in it too. I like it more than anything with straps/buckles (Ergo) for wearing around the house because it is like wearing an extra shirt. I also have an Ergo that we used when DS1 was older, around 3mo.

Ditto to watching a youtube vid. It is not as complicated as it looks. I hadn't wrapped it on in about 2 years and I did it without even having to look up the directions.

I love mine for the newborn phase. After a few months I'll switch to my Ergo.

Im eating and wearing it right now. I love being able to get stuff done and have him near me or make him hands off and close to me when our and about.

I have one but I haven't used it yet. I have a girlfriend who has a 4 month old and she absolutely loves it. She also has an Ergo she's starting to use because her son is growing quickly (he's already in 6-9mo clothes). But I know she definitely loved having it these past few months.

This exactly. Especially when DD is super fussy, the Moby (plus blasting the hairdryer) is the only thing that will calm her down. Definitely watch the you tube videos. I am still working on getting it on quickly, but we've only used is 3-4 times.

I have one and am wearing it for the first time as I write this. It's a little intimidating to start with but I practiced while I was still pregnant and it's not really that bad. So far I love it.

Thanks ladies, I just ordered one! I think it will be a lot more handy having one and trying to chase a 3yr old around.

You need to practice with the moby a few times but it really isn't that hard. It is GREAT for infants. Some nights it is the only thing that keeps LO from screaming.

I love mine! I can put DD in it and do whatever I need to do! It's super easy to use once you get the hang of it. YouTube helped! :

I have one, because it was handed down to me by a friend. Wrapping it is easy, IMO, but we're still getting DS used to hanging out in it. We're going to the apple orchard today and I will wear him in the moby for that, it will be so much easier than a stroller.

I agree with this entire statement. We went to the orchard last weekend and took the stroller. I wish I had brought my moby instead. Even with the BOB, it was pretty rough, uneven terrain.

I love it! I'd say it's worth it
