MoorMum Jess from Ilkley says:
I love this wrap. It is really comfy for me and for my son. I have a bit of a sore back (from changing nappies ect.), but this wrap actually seems to make it better as it makes me stand up straight.
I have used it from when my son was about 3 or 4 weeks old. It is perfect for just popping down to the supermarket, soothing a crying baby, or even roaming about on the Moor.
I was worried about not being able to tie it round me, but after a couple of practices, it was really easy.
I have worked out 3 different positions to carry my son (forwards, facing me, sideways on). It is the same tie around me, I just put him in differently.
The other great thing about it, is that when I go out with it, people are always stopping to stare at my baby and chat to him.
The only downside, is that it does get very warm for him on a hot day. The wrap holds him close to my body, so when we go walking on a hot day, he can get really uncomfortable. I have to strip him down to his underwear and turn him facing outwards so that only his back is in contact with my body. He seems to like that as he has his arms and legs free to wave around.
