Toto Kikoy Olpejeta Review

By
Brand Name: Toto Wrap

Wrap Name: Kikoy Olpejeta

Reviewed by: Tabitha Goins

Size of Wrap: 6

Fabric Content: 100% Cotton







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

What size is the wrappee?
I've used it to wrap my 5 1/2 year old (40lbs) as well as my cousin's baby (roughly 20 lbs) 

What is the thickness of this wrap?
Thin  

Does it have cush?
no it's flat and does not have cush.  But because of how wide this wrap is (it's very wide, which was great with my big kid!), it allows for a cushy feeling on your shoulders when bunched. 

How does it feel on your shoulders?
My shoulders felt really good.  This wrap doesn't have a lot of give to it, so once you wrap it holds the carry in place well so there wasn't any sag pulling my shoulders.   

How much diagonal stretch does the wrap have?
there's a little diagonal stretch to it, just enough to allow for a wrap that molds into your carry easily.

How supportive did you find it in a single layer carry?
I only used it in a ruck with my 5 1/2 year old for about 20 mins, and I found it supportive.

How supportive did you find it in a double layer carry?
It felt great in a double layer carry.  This wrap is thin and breathable, so it was nice in a multi layered carry to not feel like there was a ton of heavy fabric on either of us.

Who do you think this wrap would best be geared to?
I think this wrap is perfect for any caregiver in a warmer climate, or one that gets hot easily.  It's also one that makes for a great work horse wrap....take it to the beach, park, etc.  It's an easy to care for wrap, that because of the tight weave you really won't have to worry about any pulls.

Can you compare this wrap to another wrap already on the market?
It feels similar to the Hoppediz Light wraps, although I found the Toto Wrap softer.

Would you recommend this wrap to a friend? Why? What did you love about it?
Yes, I definitely would recommend the Toto Wrap.  They seem durable, are soft, wrap easy and for the price point this makes for a great wrap for all!   The colorways are beautiful too!

Please tell us a little more about yourself:
I am a Master Babywearing Educator and President of BWI of North Central Illinois.  I have been using wovens for over 5 years.  Even at 5 years old, my son still asks to get wrapped.  He still looks at it as a source of comfort and happiness!  I have wrapped with almost every brand and blend that's out there.  I love to geek out over the different colors, blends, textures, and designs.
