Toto Kikoy Review

By
Brand Name: Toto Wrap

Wrap Name: Kikoy Olpejeta

Reviewed by: Katy Meyer

Size of Wrap: 6

Fabric Content: 100% Cotton

How long has this wrap been used by you?
6 weeks

What size is the wrappee?
14 months, 21 lb. 2 yr 10 months, 34 lb.  
What were/are the exact measurement (ex; Length & width): 
Post-Wash: 
width- 32 in. Length- 4.44 meters.  

What is the thickness of this wrap?
Thin  

Does it have cush?
I wouldn't say it has cush.  

How does it feel on your shoulders?
It felt nice, pretty comfortable overall.  Although because of its thinness, I had to be pretty particular of how I passed over my shoulders.  It felt better gathered instead of rolled with ruck straps for me.  It did get diggy with my 2.5 year old.   

How much diagonal stretch does the wrap have?
None

How supportive did you find it in a single layer carry?
It felt quite supportive. And surprisingly so, given its thinness.  It was even alright with my bigger kid.  Although more comfortable with my smaller baby. .  

How supportive did you find it in a double layer carry?
It felt good in a double layer carry.  The second layer of passes gave it an extra bit of support.  

Can you compare this wrap to another wrap already on the market?

It felt similar to the weight and wrapping qualities of a Hoppediz Light.

 Who do you think this wrap would best be geared to (ex: babies, toddlers, New Babywearers, Advanced Babywearers):  
I think it would be a good choice for a beginner because I found it easy to wrap with.  100% cotton usually seems like a good beginner choice to me.  I also like that the top and bottom rail (in the one I have) are different colors making it easy for a new wrapper to differentiate from top and bottom rail.  But it's also something I wouldn't mind having in my stash as a “semi-advanced” babywearer. 

Would you recommend this wrap to a friend? Why? What did you love about it?
I would absolutely recommend this to a friend (and have!).  From a purely cosmetic standpoint, I like the colors. Can't wait to see more.  Also, it seems like it's going to be a great inexpensive woven option.  

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.

How to fix a pull in a woven wrap      If you are just joining us. Welcome!!! Welcome to the best blog you will ever read, (hehe). We are currently doing a blog series called "How to care and fix that woven wrap of yours".  The first post was an introduction and gave you the run down on how to care for your woven wrap .

How to make your woven wrap soft and floppy, otherwise known as breaking it in

By
You just received your wrap, but it's not as soft, floppy and cuddly as you were hoping for? Don't despair!  We'll help you get that wrap buttery soft and floppy! Okay, how do you get it to change? There are several tried and true methods, but the simple answer....break down the fibers by moving them.   Friction against them will wear them down. When you first get your wrap, give it a wash and dry  (following the washing instructions per blend)  This step will dramatically change the wrap right away and you'll notice that it's not as stiff. Give it a steam iron, or two or three (depending on the fiber) Steam ironing will break the fibers down quickly.  I've also noticed that when I steam iron it width wise it helps more then when I steam iron it moving the iron from side to side. That may just be my little quirk of mine though... Pull it through sling rings,if you have them.   If not create a loop and pull the rest of
