Brand Name: Natibaby

Wrap Name: Nautical Two Colored and Tri-Weave Versions

Reviewed by: Katy Meyer

Size of Wrap: 6

Fabric Content: 70% Cotton, 30% Linen




How long has this wrap been used by you?
about a month

What size is the wrappee?
Primary wrapee is 16 months, 22lb and 30 inches.  I also used it a bit with my 3 year old, 35 lb.  

What is the thickness of this wrap?
Dual and Tri-Weave are both medium thickness, with the tri colored being thicker.

Does it have cush?
Dual colored has a bit of cush.  Enough to make it feel squishy, but not an overwhelming amount.  The Tri-Weave doesn't feel like it has cush.  

How does it feel on your shoulders?
The dual colored felt nice and comfortable.  It was squishy and very soft.  I felt like I could be a little more lax with how I passed it over my shoulders because the cush was forgiving.  
The Tri-Weave was still comfortable but a bit tougher on my shoulders.  Because of the crisp feel linen, I had to be more careful about how I wrapped with it.  

How much diagonal stretch does the wrap have?
Each one has a slight bit of stretch, with the dual having more than the tri

How supportive did you find it in a single layer carry?
Tri-Weave was very supportive in a single layer carry.  Dual was a bit less supportive but still very comfortable in a single layer carry.    
How supportive did you find it in a double layer carry?
The tri-weave was extremely supportive in a double layer carry.  I wore my 20 lb daughter in a back wrap cross carry for a long time.  The dual colored was equally as supportive in a double layer carry.    
Can you compare this wrap to another wrap already on the market?
I don't have a lot of experience with linen wraps, but I would say that they are more supportive than my cotton Gira, especially with my 3 year old.  

Who do you think this wrap would best be geared to?
I wouldn't necessarily recommend the tri-weave for new wearers or little babies.  Because of the bulk of the wrap, I think it might be a difficult way to start out.  The two colored however, would be a great wrap for a beginning wrapper.  It was a little bit easier to wrap with.  

Would you recommend this wrap to a friend? Why? What did you love about it?
Yes, I would recommend both for different reasons.  The tri would be great for an older baby or toddler because of its supportiveness.  I would recommend the two colored for a less experienced wrapper or maybe someone with a newer baby.  

Please tell us a little more about yourself:
I am currently a VBE for BWI of North Central Illinois.  I've been wearing for about 3 years, wrapping for about a year and a half after my second was born.  I tend to prefer cotton wraps, but have ventured into trying other blends more recently, hence trying out linen.
