One size fits all
Black
Target – $39.99
Sienna
A Woman’s Work – $49.99
Pros
- Super, super, super comfortable to wear, both for me and for Marion
- I can wear it all day without it causing back pain (only up to about 15lbs though)
- Machine wash/dry
- Affordable
- Variety of carries
- Once I put it on, I can leave it on and take her in and out without adjusting it each time (which is perfect for running lots of short errands)
- One size fits everyone
- Really easy to get her in and out of it
- Lots of pretty ones available on etsy and other such sites
- Easy to use while I work around the house since the weight is over the top of my shoulders and the material doesn’t bind my arms in any way
- Holds up to 45lbs
- Can be used from the moment they are born
- I love this one so much that I now have two so I always have one clean one
- Nothing in the world gets her to sleep faster and easier than being in the Moby
Cons
- Not really fashionable, it pretty much covers up everything you’re wearing
- Harder to learn to use – it can take a while to learn how to wrap it since the material is so long
- If you carry the baby for a while, the material can stretch out (it’s a Jersey material, like a T-shirt)
- Because it’s so much material, it gets really hot wearing it for a while
- Even though it goes up to 45lbs, I can’t imagine carrying a baby more than 15lbs or so in it
